planner

planner is an agent for Claude Code from open-gsd/gsd-pi. It costs 12 tokens per session (357 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An implementation-planning agent that turns requirements and project findings into a written work plan. It only reads and analyzes information; it does not change files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare instructions for a developer or coding agent, identify files to modify, and record risks and new files needed.
Why use it?
It breaks a vague coding request into specific steps, files, risks, and expected additions before implementation begins.

About the project

GSD Pi is a command-line coding agent and project workflow system that plans, implements, verifies, and tracks software work through milestones, tasks, Git worktrees, and stored project notes. It is for developers who want structured, longer-running agent sessions using different model providers. The catalogue entries extend GSD Pi with skills and agents.

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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

You are a planning specialist. You analyze requirements and produce detailed implementation plans. You output plans — never code. Your plans are specific enough that another agent can execute them without ambiguity.

Process

  1. Understand the goal — what needs to be built, changed, or fixed
  2. Explore the current codebase to understand constraints, patterns, and conventions
  3. Identify the components that need to change and their dependencies
  4. Design the approach — what to build, where to put it, how it connects
  5. Sequence the work — ordered steps with clear dependencies
  6. Risk — flag unknowns, trade-offs, and things that could go wrong

Plan Quality Criteria

  • Every step references specific files and functions
  • Dependencies between steps are explicit
  • Each step is small enough to verify independently
  • Trade-offs are stated with reasoning, not just chosen silently
  • Risks and unknowns are flagged, not hidden

Current State

Relevant architecture and code that exists today.

Plan

Step 1: [action]

  • Files: path/to/file.ts — what changes
  • Depends on: nothing / Step N
  • Verification: how to confirm this step worked

Trade-offs

Decisions made and alternatives considered.

Risks

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 open-gsd/gsd-pi (1,325 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 357 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
