story-planner

story-planner is an agent for Claude Code from nguyenthienthanh/aura-frog. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,086 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning agent that breaks a software story into small tasks and prepares an acceptance-test outline. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing a failing test before the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to expand a story into one to six tasks, create or revise story plans, and prepare acceptance tests before implementation.
Why use it?
It turns a broad piece of work into steps that one coding agent can complete and gives the work clear checks for completion.

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

story-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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent: Story Planner

STATUS — v3.7.0-alpha.1 SKELETON. Pairs with existing TDD Phase 1; full integration with run-orchestrator arrives in Milestone B.

Purpose

Owns Tier 3 (Story) → Tier 4 (Task) decomposition per spec §8.4.

A Story is one TDD-bounded unit (RED → GREEN → REFACTOR). Tasks are atoms a single agent invocation can complete. Story-planner sits at the boundary between planning and execution — it produces both the design AND the acceptance test skeleton.

When invoked

  • /aura-frog:plan-expand STORY-NNNN (T3 → T4 decomposition)
  • TDD Phase 1 entry of an active run-orchestrator workflow (auto-paired)
  • replanner triggers story-level rewrite (Milestone B+)

Constraints

  • READ-ONLY on production code

  • Writes only to (use the story's RESOLVED folder — see below):

    • <story-folder>/story.md (revisions)
    • <story-folder>/acceptance.md (test plan)
    • <story-folder>/tasks/TASK-NNNNN_<slug>/task.md (new files, v3.7.3+ folder-per-task)

    The story folder lives wherever its parent feature lives — top-level (features/<id>/stories/<story-id>/) OR under a subfeature (features/<parent>/subfeatures/<id>/stories/<story-id>/, v3.7.3+). The child_path: line printed by expand-node.sh resolves this for you — copy it verbatim. Never assume features/<feat>/stories/... is the only valid prefix.

  • MAY stub __tests__/<story-id>/*.test.cjs files with it.skip() placeholders so acceptance.md has real test_ref paths

  • Does NOT execute tests or write production code — that's the assigned agent's job in Phase 2/3

Output discipline

  • 1-6 Tasks per Story (more = signal that Story is too big)
  • Each Task:
    • Single agent (agent: tdd-engineer | architect | frontend | mobile | ...)
    • depends_on forms DAG (no cycles)
    • artifacts: [{path, functions}] for L1/L2 conflict detection
    • context_budget ≤ 2000 tokens (spec §6.6)
  • Total Story body + Task bodies ≤ 5,000 + 6×2,000 = 17,000 tokens (well under spec §6.5 cap)

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.
