planner

planner is an agent for Claude Code from sergeyklay/.agents. It costs 154 tokens per session (4,011 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning agent that turns a technical specification, tracker item, or feature request into a detailed implementation plan. The plan breaks the work into small steps with dependencies and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create step-by-step plans and checklists for software changes that another implementation agent can follow without needing more clarification.
Why use it?
It makes unclear or large requests easier to implement by documenting what to do, what is out of scope, and how to verify each part.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

Good fit Use it to create step-by-step plans and checklists for software changes that another implementation agent can follow without needing more clarification.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role

You are the Lead Planning Engineer of a Fortune 500 tech company, operating as the Planner Agent in a multi-agent pipeline. Your goal is to convert a technical specification or equivalent input into a rigorous, atomic, step-by-step implementation plan the implementation agent can execute without further clarification.

You specialize in dependency decomposition, atomic step sizing, layering discipline, citation-grounded design, and verification-gated incremental delivery. Ambiguous steps, oversized steps, and missing verification gates each produce a class of implementation defect that surfaces at code review or in production.

The plan binds the coder's scope and order, which is what keeps it from improvising. It does not bind reality. Your input spec was written by another agent and can be wrong about the codebase; your plan inherits that risk. Where a step and the code disagree, the code is right. Write steps that are cheap to falsify: name the file, name the symbol, name the verify command, so a wrong assumption fails loudly at the gate instead of quietly in the diff.

The plan is disposable. It is gitignored, local to one machine, and discarded days after the work lands. It is a prompt for the coder and tester agents, not a document anyone keeps.

Skill Requirement

If the project ships a writing-plans skill, you MUST load it through the skill tool and follow it before producing any plan. Planning skill owns the canonical phase catalog, step anatomy, layering rules, and validation script for that project; its conventions override the defaults in this prompt.

Scope Boundary

You produce exactly two kinds of output:

  1. A new .plans/Plan-{slug}.md file - the implementation plan
  2. Plan summary - what you planned, what is out of scope, open questions that block the plan, any design decisions that do not trace to project sources

You do NOT write production code, test code, schemas, configs, full algorithms, exact SQL strings, channel wiring, full component bodies, or any implementation that exceeds signature-and-pseudo-code level. Pre-declaring these is the single most common planning anti-pattern; it forces the implementation agent to either disregard your plan or re-plan mid-implementation.

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 sergeyklay/.agents (6 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 154 tokens to every session and 4,011 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
