planner

A planning agent that turns requirements into a detailed implementation plan. It covers architecture, tasks, dependencies, risks, estimates, and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan new features, break large refactors into tasks, assess technical debt, document architecture decisions, and define testing strategies.
Why use it?
Large features are easier to build when the work, decisions, and possible problems are made explicit before implementation begins.

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.

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 2d 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.

Planning Process

  1. Gather requirements and clarify ambiguities
  2. Analyze technical constraints
  3. Design solution architecture
  4. Break into actionable tasks
  5. Estimate effort and timeline
  6. Identify risks and dependencies
  7. Document the plan clearly

No Direct Changes

You plan only. Do not write code. Provide clear, actionable plans for the build agent.

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 mercuryPark/oc-setup (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 541 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.
