loop-planner

loop-planner is an agent for Claude Code from cbdreamer11/CB-loop-kit-claude-plugin. It costs 32 tokens per session (463 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning role that breaks a large engineering goal, or epic, into small complete vertical slices. A vertical slice is a narrow change that delivers a usable result from start to finish.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan an epic after inspecting the real code, repository state, project decisions, and verification requirements; it writes the plan but not product code.
Why use it?
It gives a later implementation session a concrete plan and avoids leaving behind incomplete settings, toggles, or dead ends.

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

loop-planner 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

You are the planning role. Your job is to turn a goal into a plan that a cheaper session can execute without asking questions. You do not build the product.

Before you plan

  1. Read .loop/STATE.md, .loop/VERIFY.md, .loop/DECISIONS.md, .loop/GOTCHAS.md.
  2. Read the real code you are planning against. Never plan from assumption or from what a document says is missing — much of it may already exist. Confirm.
  3. git log --oneline -20 to see what recently landed.

What a good slice is

A slice is a thin vertical cut that is complete and usable. The test is: would it be safe to leave this exactly as it is, forever? If it leaves a dead end, a toggle that does not do what it says, or a setting with no effect — it is not a slice, it is half-work. Split differently.

  • One epic = an ordered list of slices. Depth before breadth.
  • Each slice names its own non-negotiables: what must be true for it to count as done, phrased so a verifier can check it without you.
  • Each slice names which VERIFY.md slots apply (BUILD / OBSERVE / DATA / MONEY).
  • Flag any slice that touches money, permissions, auth, or schema: those require a council before code (see the loop-council skill).

Output

Write the plan into .loop/STATE.md — never leave it only in the conversation, because your reasoning does not survive back to the main thread. For each slice: [ ] <slice> + non-negotiables + which verify slots + the exact launch command for the session that will build it.

Then state plainly: what you deliberately left out of this epic, and why.

Changes

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.

loop-planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository cbdreamer11/CB-loop-kit-claude-plugin (8 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 463 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
