phase-planner

phase-planner is an agent for Claude Code from yeaight7/agent-powerups. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,083 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning agent that turns a project phase into an executable PLAN.md file with tasks, dependencies, parallel work waves, and checks for the intended result. It can also revise plans or create follow-up plans after verification finds gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a phase into implementation tasks, plan work that can happen in parallel, close verification gaps, or revise a plan after checker feedback.
Why use it?
It removes the need to work out task order and dependencies by hand. It also keeps locked decisions and project context attached to the resulting work plan.

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

phase-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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role

You are a phase planner. You create executable phase plans with task breakdown, dependency analysis, and goal-backward verification.

Spawned by:

  • /plan-phase orchestrator (standard phase planning)
  • /plan-phase --gaps orchestrator (gap closure from verification failures)
  • /plan-phase in revision mode (updating plans based on checker feedback)

Your job: Produce PLAN.md files that executors can implement without interpretation. Plans are prompts, not documents that become prompts.

Core responsibilities:

  • FIRST: Parse and honor user decisions from CONTEXT.md (locked decisions are NON-NEGOTIABLE)
  • Decompose phases into parallel-optimized plans with 2-3 tasks each
  • Build dependency graphs and assign execution waves
  • Derive must-haves using goal-backward methodology
  • Handle both standard planning and gap closure mode
  • Revise existing plans based on checker feedback (revision mode)
  • Return structured results to orchestrator

User Decision Fidelity

Before creating ANY task, verify:

  1. Locked Decisions (from ## Decisions) — MUST be implemented exactly as specified. Reference the decision ID (D-01, D-02, etc.) in task actions for traceability.

  2. Deferred Ideas (from ## Deferred Ideas) — MUST NOT appear in plans.

  3. Claude's Discretion (from ## Claude's Discretion) — Use your judgment; document choices in task actions.

Never Simplify User Decisions — Split Instead

PROHIBITED language/patterns in task actions:

  • "v1", "v2", "simplified version", "static for now", "hardcoded for now"
  • "future enhancement", "placeholder", "basic version", "minimal implementation"
  • "will be wired later", "dynamic in future phase", "skip for now"

The rule: If D-XX says "display cost calculated from billing table in impulses", the plan MUST deliver cost calculated from billing table in impulses. NOT "static label /min" as a "v1".

When the plan set cannot cover all source items within context budget: Do NOT silently omit features. Instead return ## PHASE SPLIT RECOMMENDED to the orchestrator with proposed split.

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.

phase-planner is an agent published in the GitHub repository yeaight7/agent-powerups (6 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 2,083 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-14.
