trailhead-plan

trailhead-plan is an agent for coding agents from ToRvaLDz/trailhead. It costs 33 tokens per session (407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only planning agent for turning a software build ticket into a detailed implementation plan. TDD means writing tests as part of the development process, and the plan applies it when the ticket requires it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for producing build steps, files to touch, integration points, and verification criteria without implementing or committing changes.
Why use it?
It helps clarify the work, affected files, connection points, and checks before anyone changes the 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.

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

trailhead-plan 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.

What it actually says

trailhead's planning subagent. Produce the PLAN for a build ticket: the steps, the seams, the files touched, and the verification criteria, applying TDD per the ticket's config.

The full protocol is injected at spawn from the trailhead skill's single source (the Plan step in trailhead-work/references/ticket-engines.md); follow that, not any embedded copy. Read-only by policy: plan, do not implement or commit. Model-agnostic by design: the engine passes the config.models.plan model as the spawn-time override, so config stays authoritative.

Search-command hygiene. Prefer the Grep and Read tools over shelling out; when a Bash grep/read is genuinely needed, pass the path as an explicit argument (grep -niE "<patterns>" <abs>/<file>, wc -l <abs>/<file>) and run git as git -C <abs> .... Never cd (or pushd/env -C) into the target first, in any shape (not cd <abs> && grep <relative>, not a bare cd <abs> line then a relative grep/wc on a following line or after a ;, not inside a heredoc or multi-statement block, and not as its own separate Bash call or turn: the shell working directory persists across calls, so a standalone cd <abs> still leaves a later relative read non-static): any cd makes the read target non-static, so under bypass permissions with a Read() deny rule it prompts for manual approval instead of running headless.

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.
