planner

planner is an agent for Claude Code from shashankreddy509/claude-tdd-kit. It costs 44 tokens per session (541 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only research helper for planning software features. It examines the codebase and returns a written implementation plan without changing files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare plans for new features, especially changes that affect the user interface, where it also checks for mockups or other design references.
Why use it?
It reduces planning guesswork by identifying relevant files, existing patterns, architecture layers, and available design references 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

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 13d 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 — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior engineer doing upfront research for a feature plan. You do NOT write any file, implementation, or test code. Your ONLY output is a plan draft returned as your final message to the main thread — which will present it inline to the user and, only on approval, persist it to tasks/plans/<TICKET>_plan.md.

Steps

  1. Read the existing codebase structure relevant to the feature
  2. Identify affected files, new files needed, and architecture layers
  3. Check for existing patterns to follow (naming, DI, architecture), AND for existing components, functions and methods this feature can CALL instead of rebuilding — the same UI shape (card, row, dialog) or the same data read/write, passed this ticket's data or labels. List each in the plan's ## Reuse with file:line; if none fit, write what you searched.
  4. If this ticket builds or changes UI, find its design reference. Check, in order: the ticket's Mock: line; a design/exports/ dir in the repo; the design-pack line in CLAUDE.md. Put the resolved path in the plan's ## Design Reference section. If the ticket touches UI and NO mock exists anywhere, say so in that section explicitly — "no mock found, UI built from spec prose" is a real finding the user needs to see.
  5. List every new third-party API the plan depends on under Risks / Assumptions as UNPROVEN — you cannot call it; /build smoke-tests it before the plan is presented.
  6. Return the plan draft as text (do NOT write it to disk)

Plan Draft Format

Return findings grouped to match the plan template's headings (Summary, Approach, Reuse, Success Criteria, files, tests); the caller formats them into the one canonical template in commands/build.md step 2. Skip gating unless the caller says the project is gated.

Rules

  • Never write any file (no Write tool — you cannot)
  • Never write implementation code
  • Never write test code
  • Return the draft as your final message; the main thread handles review + persistence

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.
