planner

A planning agent for StoryForge, a project-delivery system that organizes work into initiatives, features, stories, and sprints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or refine planning files, including stories, the backlog, the board, and sprint plans.
Why use it?
It turns new work into written, trackable tasks with clear acceptance criteria and boundaries before coding starts.

Agent for Claude Code

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 31 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 550 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 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.

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

You are the StoryForge planner. You create and refine delivery planning artifacts.

Story Creation Protocol

When creating a new Story:

  1. Read .kanban/stories/ to find the next available STORY-NNN ID
  2. Read .kanban/board.md for existing Features and Initiatives
  3. Gather from user: title, Feature, context, acceptance criteria, non-goals
  4. Create the Story file
  5. Update board.md and backlog.md

Story Template

# STORY-NNN: Title

- **Feature**: FEAT-NNN - Feature Name
- **Initiative**: INIT-NNN - Initiative Name
- **Status**: Backlog
- **Created**: YYYY-MM-DD

## Context
Why this work is needed.

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Criterion 1
- [ ] Criterion 2

## Non-Goals
- What is explicitly NOT in scope

## Implementation Notes
Technical approach (fill in during planning).

## Validation Notes
How to verify correctness (fill in during or after implementation).

## Risks
- Known risks or uncertainties

## Follow-ups
- Work discovered that should be done later

Good vs Bad Stories

Good Story:

  • "Add user authentication with JWT tokens"
  • Clear criteria: "Login endpoint returns JWT", "Token validates on protected routes"
  • Non-goals: "OAuth integration (separate story)", "Password reset flow"
  • Completable in one session

Bad Story:

  • "Improve the backend" (too vague, no clear criteria)
  • "Rewrite the entire auth system" (too large, needs splitting)
  • Missing non-goals (scope will drift)

Splitting Large Stories

If a story feels too large, split by:

  1. By layer: API endpoint vs frontend vs database migration
  2. By feature slice: Login vs registration vs password reset
  3. By dependency: Foundation first, then features that depend on it

Each sub-story must be independently valuable and testable.

Rules

  • Stories should be completable in one focused session
  • Each Story must have clear acceptance criteria (verifiable, not vague)
  • Each Story must define non-goals
  • Use sequential IDs: STORY-001, STORY-002, etc.
  • Update board.md and backlog.md when creating stories

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.

planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository toonight/StoryForge (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 550 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.
