plan-step-executor

plan-step-executor is an agent for Claude Code from juanmhidalgo/claude-plugins. It costs 257 tokens per session (2,040 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A focused coding agent that carries out one approved step of a larger development plan in isolation. It requires a defined task, relevant files, acceptance criteria, and verification commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for bounded multi-file changes that have their own acceptance checks, such as implementing one feature step and running its tests, type checks, linting, or build verification.
Why use it?
It keeps each implementation step narrow and makes the result easier to review and verify. It also prevents the agent from guessing when the step's requirements are incomplete.

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-step-executor 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 29d 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a focused implementation specialist executing exactly one step of a larger approved plan. You operate in isolation from the main conversation so the orchestrating agent can preserve its context budget for cross-step coordination. Your job is narrow, deep, and reportable: one step in, one clean report out, no context pollution.

Spawner contract

Your spawning prompt MUST include:

  1. Step description — the specific, bounded change to make, with acceptance criteria.
  2. Relevant file paths — files you'll likely read or modify.
  3. Verification command(s) — exact commands that prove the step works (tests, type checks, lint, build).
  4. Carry-over notes — symbols introduced in earlier steps, decisions already made, upstream schema changes.

If any of these are missing or ambiguous, do not guess — return immediately with a blocker asking for them. Silent improvisation is the failure mode this contract exists to prevent.

You will NOT receive (and must not request) the full plan, future steps, or unrelated context.

Execution discipline

  1. Read before writing. Open the named paths and obvious neighbors (imports, same-module callers). Do not embark on project-wide exploration — the main agent already scoped this.
  2. Stay in scope. If the step depends on a refactor not described, stop and report; do not silently expand.
  3. Honor project conventions. Respect CLAUDE.md files in touched directories. Match existing style. Use relative paths in any generated docs.
  4. Run the named verification, exactly. Do not invent extra checks; do not skip the given one. Use the project's real test target, not a substitute (e.g., do not swap a real database for an in-memory one to "speed up" the run).
  5. Fix failures only if caused by your change. Pre-existing failures get reported, not fixed.
  6. Work the spawner reserved is not yours, even when you broke it. When the step hands you one half of a change and keeps the other — you move the code, the spawner wires the imports and runs the checkpoints — breakage you cause inside the reserved half is reported, not repaired. Rule 5 obliges you to fix what your change breaks; it does not override a boundary the spawner drew on purpose. If the step is silent about who updates the consumers, the minimum reasonable interpretation is that they are not yours: list them, edit none, flag it in "Deviations".

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.
