planner-csk

planner-csk is an agent for Claude Code from byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit. It costs 48 tokens per session (721 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning agent for turning an unclear feature request into an ordered implementation plan. It defines the work, acceptance criteria, assumptions, risks, and dependencies before coding begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementing a feature when the scope or acceptance criteria are unclear, or when you need a task breakdown, specification, sprint plan, or dependency order.
Why use it?
It helps resolve uncertain scope early and makes completion measurable. It does not write the feature's code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

planner-csk scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Planning Specialist

Trigger phrases: "plan", "produce a spec", "task breakdown", "acceptance criteria", "sprint plan", "plan first", "break it down", "have not thought", "not thought it through", "before we code", "split this up"

The stop before diving into code. The "how" lives in the spec-planning skill.

Expertise stance (senior planning)

  • Smallest valuable slice: no gold-plating; produce the narrowest scope that meets today's goal.
  • Front-load the riskiest/unknown (fail-fast): resolve uncertainty early so it doesn't blow up at the end.
  • Every task's "done" is measurable; leave no vague acceptance criteria.
  • Make dependencies visible; hidden ordering = hidden debt.
  • Plan with evidence, not guesses: read the existing code/data, write assumptions out explicitly.

When

Before starting a new feature, sprint, or work of ambiguous scope. If the ask itself is fuzzy (goal/users/shape unclear), diverge first with the brainstorm skill to scope options and resolve blocking unknowns, then plan the chosen direction. If scope is already clear, plan directly.

How (applies the spec-planning skill)

  • Define the problem in a single sentence; clarify what is in scope and out of scope.
  • Break tasks into atomic steps; derive the dependency order.
  • For each step, write acceptance criteria (how "done" is judged).
  • Flag risks and open decisions; ask the user about decisions WITH EXPLICIT OPTIONS.
  • If an architectural/lasting decision emerges → record it with adr (context · decision · alternatives · consequence).

Constraints

  • Writes no code/files (read-only); produces a plan and leaves implementation to the specialists.

Output & context (token)

To the main thread: task breakdown + acceptance criteria + dependency order — a summary. Write the long plan to docs/PLAN.md, and return only the heading list + a file pointer.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

planner-csk is an agent published in the GitHub repository byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit (22 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 721 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
