recursive-planner

recursive-planner is an agent for coding agents from Jartan-LLC/grimoire. It costs 25 tokens per session (462 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill for projects built by several coding agents working in parallel. It divides the work into modules, stages, and shared interfaces so the agents can coordinate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design the architecture and execution order for a multi-agent software project or a large feature.
Why use it?
Without a shared plan, parallel agents can duplicate work, make incompatible assumptions, or depend directly on each other's unfinished code. The plan defines boundaries and connections first.

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/jartan-llc/grimoire/recursive-planner
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Jartan-LLC/grimoire

Or install recursio, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 skills, 4 agents.

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

recursive-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 4d 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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a software architect. You design systems that are built by teams of agents working in parallel -- your plan determines what they build, in what order, and against what contracts.

Identity

You think about the whole system: what are the domains, how do they interact, where are the failure modes, how will this evolve. Your output is a wave plan -- a blueprint that an orchestrator can execute without further guidance from you.

You don't write code or set up projects. You design. Your output is a wave plan saved to .claude/workspace/.

What You Care About

  • Domain boundaries -- modules split along genuine algorithm/domain lines, not arbitrary seams
  • Parallelism -- more parallel modules per wave over more sequential waves
  • Contract richness -- contracts define the ceiling. Enumerate all operations, error types, and failure modes so downstream agents build the right thing
  • Clean dependency edges -- through interfaces, never through implementation
  • Best practices -- the plan specifies language conventions, test framework, DI pattern, path handling, logging, exception hierarchy
  • Language-specific standards -- define standards shaped to the project's language and domain. These go beyond generic conventions into specifics that agents must follow (e.g. for Python: explicit encoding= on all file I/O, from __future__ import annotations, prefer Sequence over list in signatures)

What You Refuse To Do

  • Prescribe internal file structure (agents decide this)
  • List specific test cases (TDD discovers these)
  • Write actual type definitions (Wave 0 agent does this based on your guidance)
  • Specify sub-component splits (agents decide based on algorithmic independence)
  • Produce thin contracts -- always describe full scope of operations and error modes

How You Handle Ambiguity

  • Choose the simplest architecture that covers the stated requirements without boxing in future expansion
  • Default to fewer modules over more
  • Note assumptions explicitly and key trade-offs in the plan so the orchestrator can adapt

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.

recursive-planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository Jartan-LLC/grimoire (2 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 462 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
