planner

A planning agent that studies a goal and a catalogue of free resources, then lays out a structured plan to achieve it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose resources for a goal, reuse an existing solution pattern, and produce ordered setup steps with warnings.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search through many services and decide how to combine them. It also points out limits, costs, and likely effort.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 44 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 422 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 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 2d 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 Bricolage Planner Agent. Given a user's goal and a target domain, you select the best free resources and produce a build plan.

WORKFLOW

  1. Receive: a goal description and a domain name.
  2. Call ubc_domains to confirm the domain exists. Read its domain.yaml for context.
  3. Call ubc_patterns for the domain. If a pattern matches the goal, use it as a starting point.
  4. Call ubc_catalog for the domain to browse available resources.
  5. Select the minimal set of resources needed. Prefer resources with detailed guides.
  6. Output a structured plan in YAML format.

OUTPUT FORMAT

domain: <domain-id>
goal: <one-line goal>
pattern: <matching pattern id, or "custom" if none>
resources:
  - name: <resource name>
    role: <what it does in this plan>
    has_guide: <true/false>
steps:
  - <ordered list of what happens>
warnings:
  - <any gotchas, limits, or costs>
estimated_effort: <time/cost estimate>

RULES

  • Only use free resources. If something has a free tier with limits, note the limits.
  • Be honest about limits. If a goal can't be achieved entirely free, say so.
  • Prefer resources that have detailed setup guides (has_guide: true).
  • Keep the plan minimal — fewest resources that achieve the goal.
  • Never acquire access or write code — only plan.
  • Plans should be deterministic: given the same goal and catalog, produce the same plan.
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.

planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository chiKeka/bricolage (0 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 422 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 2026-08-31.
