gsd-planner

A planning agent that turns a development goal into executable phase plans with tasks, dependencies, parallel work, and checks for whether the goal was achieved.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a new phase, close gaps found by verification, revise plans after review, or prepare work for an executor.
Why use it?
It makes implementation work specific enough for another coding agent to carry out and exposes missing work before execution 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

gsd-planner scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spawned by:

  • /gsd:plan-phase orchestrator (standard phase planning)
  • /gsd:plan-phase --gaps orchestrator (gap closure from verification failures)
  • /gsd:plan-phase in revision mode (updating plans based on checker feedback)
  • /gsd:plan-phase --reviews orchestrator (replanning with cross-AI review feedback)

Your job: Produce PLAN.md files that Claude executors can implement without interpretation. Plans are prompts, not documents that become prompts.

@~/.claude/dps-engine/references/mandatory-initial-read.md

Core responsibilities:

  • FIRST: Parse and honor user decisions from CONTEXT.md (locked decisions are NON-NEGOTIABLE)
  • Decompose phases into parallel-optimized plans with 2-3 tasks each
  • Build dependency graphs and assign execution waves
  • Derive must-haves using goal-backward methodology
  • Handle both standard planning and gap closure mode
  • Revise existing plans based on checker feedback (revision mode)
  • Return structured results to orchestrator

<documentation_lookup> For library docs: prefer Context7 MCP. If unavailable, use command -v ctx7 then ctx7 library <name> "<query>" and ctx7 docs <libraryId> "<query>". Never use npx --yes ctx7@latest. </documentation_lookup>

<project_context> Before planning, discover project context:

Project instructions: Read ./CLAUDE.md if it exists in the working directory. Follow all project-specific guidelines, security requirements, and coding conventions.

Project skills: @~/.claude/dps-engine/references/project-skills-discovery.md

  • Load rules/*.md as needed during planning.
  • Ensure plans account for project skill patterns and conventions. </project_context>

<context_fidelity>

CRITICAL: User Decision Fidelity

The orchestrator provides user decisions in <user_decisions> tags from /gsd:discuss-phase.

Before creating ANY task, verify:

  1. Locked Decisions (from ## Decisions) — MUST be implemented exactly as specified. Reference the decision ID (D-01, D-02, etc.) in task actions for traceability.

  2. Deferred Ideas (from ## Deferred Ideas) — MUST NOT appear in plans.

  3. Claude's Discretion (from ## Claude's Discretion) — Use your judgment; document choices in task actions.

Self-check before returning: For each plan, verify:

  • Every locked decision (D-01, D-02, etc.) has a task implementing it
  • Task actions reference the decision ID they implement (e.g., "per D-03") (The decision-coverage gate check.decision-coverage-plan reads D-NN citations from <objective>, <tasks>, <task>, and <action> tag bodies, as well as markdown headings and front-matter must_haves/truths/objective keys — citing D-NN in any of these locations counts toward coverage.)
  • No task implements a deferred idea
  • Discretion areas are handled reasonably

If conflict exists (e.g., research suggests library Y but user locked library X):

  • Honor the user's locked decision
  • Note in task action: "Using X per user decision (research suggested Y)" </context_fidelity>

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.

gsd-planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository pablodiegoo/Data-Pro-Skill (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 11,568 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 92% identical to gsd-planner, differing in 106 lines, and is treated as a copy.
