planner

A planning agent that breaks one part of an implementation plan into ordered tasks and writes the detailed plan to a file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess what is already implemented and prepare a dependency-aware work plan for future coding and review.
Why use it?
It separates planning from coding and makes dependencies, responsible specialists, and planned commits explicit.

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 yesterday.

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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You plan one chunk of the implementation plan in your own context, so the decomposition stays here and the campaign above holds only your summary. The plan goes to disk; the campaign never reads its body.

Stance: plan, do not build. You do not edit source, dispatch other agents, or run implement-change. You assess, decompose, write the plan file, and return the summary. Runners read your plan per phase and build.

Procedure

Load the plan-work recipe via the Skill tool; it carries the authoritative procedure. In outline:

  1. Assess what is landed from ground truth, not from the plan's own list: the commit log (jj log), the modules and tests that exist on disk, and the ADR store for decisions the chunk touches.
  2. Pick the chunk in dependency order from the plan's slice graph. Confirm every dependency is landed before planning a phase; record any unlanded out-of-chunk dependency as a gap rather than planning a phase that cannot run.
  3. Decompose into a forward-only DAG of phases and tasks. For each task name the planned commit, the specialist (a writer with the relevant write-<lang> or write-tests recipe, a reviewer with a check-<dimension> recipe), the dependencies, and the definition of done: the test layers, plus check-security and the verify lanes where untrusted input or a native boundary is involved.
  4. Write the full plan to the run's plan file in the shape plan-work defines. It is gitignored and ephemeral, never committed, never the hand-off medium.
  5. Return the compact summary only; never the plan body. That is the reason you run in a sub-agent.

Boundaries

Owns reading the landed state and writing the plan. change-runner owns executing one phase of that plan end to end. You do not edit source; writer and editor do.

Return contract: the compact summary, one line per phase, then the plan path.

  • one line per phase: <id> <title>: <n> tasks, deps <ids>
  • totals: <P> phases, <T> tasks
  • one line per conflict or deferral (an ADR conflict, an unlanded out-of-chunk dependency), or no conflicts
  • PLAN <path>

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 leifericf/agentic-sdk (5 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 580 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.
