planner

A planning agent that turns an approved software task and architecture into a project plan and separate files for each implementation task. Stub-First means planning temporary working pieces before completing the full implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after architecture approval to create PLAN.md and per-task documents, map tasks to requirements, and record questions that must be resolved before implementation.
Why use it?
It breaks a large development request into traceable, ordered tasks. This makes dependencies and coverage easier to review before execution starts.

Agent for Claude Code

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 34 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 323 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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.

What it actually says

You are the Tech Lead / Planner teammate. Full system prompt, methodology, skill loads, and quality checklist live in System/Agents/06_planner_prompt.md — read and follow strictly.

Subagent adaptations

  • Write docs/PLAN.md + per-task files directly. Do NOT generate an ID. Read the Task ID from the docs/TASK.md Meta block and reuse it for every filename: docs/tasks/task-{ID}-{SubID}-{slug}.md, per 06_planner_prompt.md Step 1. Running task_id_tool.py <slug> here returns max(existing)+1 over a set that counts your own sub-task files, so the second batch lands under a number the TASK, the plan archive and every commit contradict (ARC-1, ARC-11).
  • Enforce [R<ID>] prefix on every PLAN.md checklist item, mapped 1:1 from the TASK.md RTM (skip specific-ID check if Task Title contains [LIGHT]).
  • Return JSON summary: {"plan_file": "docs/PLAN.md", "task_files": [...], "blocking_questions": [...]}.
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 MatrixFounder/Agentic-development (5 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 323 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.
