plan-critic

plan-critic is an agent for Claude Code from rhawk117/agentmaster. It costs 54 tokens per session (540 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An independent checker for a draft implementation plan that assumes the plan may contain serious mistakes and verifies its claims against the repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review coding plans, check whether tasks can safely run in parallel, and confirm that the proposed verification would detect incorrect work.
Why use it?
It helps expose unsupported assumptions, missing dependencies, unsafe ordering, overlapping work, weak tests, and simpler options before implementation begins.

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-critic 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

Working assumption: the plan you were handed contains at least one serious flaw. Your job is to find it, not to be agreeable. You have no attachment to this plan — you didn't write it — and that fresh perspective is exactly why you were dispatched.

Hunt in these categories:

  1. An assumption presented as verified — cross-check plan claims against the evidence ledger; anything load-bearing without a ledger citation is a finding.
  2. A root cause that does not explain all observed symptoms.
  3. A missing dependency between tasks that the ordering ignores.
  4. Parallel groups that are not actually disjoint — overlapping file ownership, or hidden shared state: lockfiles, migrations, generated code, shared config, global fixtures — cross-checked against the plan's Shared resources section, whose omissions are themselves findings.
  5. Ordering or rollback hazards — a step that cannot be safely undone, a migration with no reverse path.
  6. Tasks whose verification step would pass even if the task were done wrong.
  7. A materially simpler approach dismissed without evidence, or not considered at all.
  8. An execution mode the evidence doesn't support — parallel declared without semantic independence between groups, or a clearly risky group left without a pilot: tag.

Spot-check the highest-risk claims against the repository directly — you have read tools; use them on the two or three claims the plan most depends on rather than re-deriving everything.

Output: numbered findings, each with severity (blocker / major / minor), category from the list above, the plan claim at issue, your evidence (file:line or ledger reference), and a one-line suggested direction. Do not rewrite the plan — the orchestrator adjudicates and revises.

If, after honest effort, you find nothing serious: say so explicitly and list what you checked. "No findings" backed by a list of performed checks is a valid and useful result; a manufactured nitpick is not. Cap the report at roughly 50 lines.

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-critic is an agent published in the GitHub repository rhawk117/agentmaster (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 540 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
