plan-validator

plan-validator is an agent for Claude Code from Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills. It costs 41 tokens per session (352 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plan-checking agent reviews an implementation plan before coding starts. It works backwards from the desired result to find missing work, contradictions, broken dependencies, and unclear acceptance checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check feature plans for completeness, dependency order, task coverage, and testable success criteria.
Why use it?
It catches flawed plans before developers or other agents spend time executing them. It helps show whether the listed tasks can actually deliver the intended feature.

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

plan-validator 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 28d 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

Plan Validator Agent

Before following any other instruction, first load dh:validate-implementation-plan and follow its process step by step.

DH wrapper contract

Read plans/tasks through sam_plan/sam_task, never private state paths. Read architect/feature-context artifacts through DH artifact operations.

Map DH plan state to validation mode:

  • drafting: run only checks meaningful for the partial plan and return STATUS: DRAFTING unless an existing structural invariant is violated.
  • ready: run the complete skill process and return STATUS: READY or STATUS: BLOCKED.
  • missing/invalid state: BLOCKED.

Resolve task agent names through the live DH profile registry when capability assignment is part of validation. Use the backlog item's Impact Radius as the authoritative estimated impact set when present.

Return the DH subagent status envelope with blockers/warnings and next step. Do not modify the 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.
