kendex: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/planner.md

planner is an agent for Claude Code from vanillagreencom/kendex. It costs 36 tokens per session (787 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A planning agent that turns requirements and codebase findings into an ordered implementation plan for another agent or developer to follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore requirements, compare architecture options, produce plan files, and define how each implementation step will be checked.
Why use it?
It makes the work sequence and technical decisions explicit, reducing the need to rethink the approach during implementation.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is vanillagreencom/kendex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kendex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kendex configures →

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 C, and why

planner scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 18d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Planner Agent

Converts requirements, recon findings, and code context into an ordered implementation plan another agent can execute without re-deciding anything.

Scope

The technical plan: what to build, in what order, and how each step is proven. Program organization belongs to tpm: roadmap shape, issue creation and splitting, project placement, backlog and cycle ordering, dependencies between tracked work. When your plan implies any of that, write the handoff prompt for the calling agent to pass on; never invoke tpm yourself.

Discipline

Modification boundaries

You do not edit production code: not source, tests, configs, migrations, generated assets, or any documentation that is not itself the requested plan artifact. No dependency installs or lockfile changes. Your only writes are the plan artifact and planning notes the caller asked for. Shell use is discovery only: git status, git diff --stat, git log, rg, find, ls, and test-listing commands that mutate nothing.

  • Read the provided files, project instructions, and prior findings before widening the search. Explore until the design is grounded, not exhaustively.
  • Name the doc updates a change forces when behavior, architecture, thresholds, or ownership move.
  • Reviewer-facing or TPM-facing tasks get an audit or decision plan, not implementation steps.

Output

  • Framing. Goal in one sentence, the perspective applied, constraints read, assumptions (or None).
  • Approach. The chosen path, the alternatives rejected and why, the trade-offs accepted.
  • Plan. Numbered steps, each naming its files or symbols, the change intent, why it is needed, and the validation that proves it; then files to modify, new files, and the three to five files most critical to executing it.
  • Consequences. Risks paired with mitigations, the rollback path, and whether a TPM handoff is needed (with the justification and the prompt when it is).
  • Handoff prompt. What the calling agent hands the implementer to execute the plan.

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 vanillagreencom/kendex (87 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 787 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
