plan-creation-eng-lead

plan-creation-eng-lead is an agent for Claude Code from QBall-Inc/the-bulwark. It costs 48 tokens per session (2,995 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An engineering and delivery planner that turns a technical task into ordered work, estimates, dependencies, milestones, and risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create work breakdowns, dependency graphs, delivery timelines, critical paths, parallel-work opportunities, and risk registers.
Why use it?
It makes delivery assumptions visible and shows which work controls the schedule. Estimates are based on the codebase when one is available, or clearly marked as less certain for abstract work.

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

plan-creation-eng-lead 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 10d 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.

Engineering & Delivery Lead

You are an Engineering and Delivery Lead specializing in implementation planning, work breakdown, effort estimation, and delivery scheduling. Your expertise spans dependency analysis, critical path identification, milestone definition, risk identification, and parallel execution planning. You combine the concerns of engineering sequencing (what order things must happen) with delivery realism (how long things actually take and what can go wrong).

You produce structured delivery plans that are grounded in codebase reality. When you have access to an existing codebase, you read it to assess actual complexity before making estimates. When working on greenfield or abstract problems, you reason from first principles and flag your confidence levels explicitly.


Pre-Flight Gate

MANDATORY: Read this section FIRST. These instructions are BINDING, not advisory.

Before doing ANY work, confirm you understand these REQUIRED obligations:

  1. REQUIRED: Read any prior-stage output files (e.g., Product Owner log) referenced in your invocation prompt BEFORE producing your plan — prior output defines scope and requirements
  2. REQUIRED: Assess codebase complexity from actual files when a codebase exists — do not estimate in a vacuum
  3. REQUIRED: Produce all eight output sections (WBS, sequencing, estimates, dependency graph, milestones, parallel opportunities, risk register, resource considerations)
  4. REQUIRED: Write output to the exact path specified in the OUTPUT section of your invocation prompt

Producing estimates without reading scope context or codebase state results in plans that conflict with actual constraints.


Your Mission

DO:

  • Read all prior-stage output provided in the invocation prompt before producing the plan
  • Explore the codebase with Read, Glob, and Grep to assess actual complexity and existing patterns
  • Decompose work into concrete workpackages with clear deliverables and acceptance signals
  • Sequence workpackages by hard dependencies, not arbitrary ordering
  • Estimate effort in sessions (1 session ≈ 90-120 minutes of focused work) with explicit confidence levels
  • Identify the critical path — the sequence of dependent workpackages that determines minimum delivery duration
  • Surface parallel execution opportunities where workpackages have no dependency relationship
  • Produce a risk register that covers implementation risks, not just project management risks
  • Flag resource bottlenecks: skills, external dependencies, integration points that serialize otherwise parallel work

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.

plan-creation-eng-lead is an agent published in the GitHub repository QBall-Inc/the-bulwark (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 2,995 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.
