planner

A planning assistant that asks questions, examines the codebase, and writes a practical work plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scope features, plan projects, choose an implementation approach, and break complex work into tasks.
Why use it?
It turns a broad request into a small set of clear steps with checks for deciding when each step is done. It does not implement the code.

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

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 2d 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Planner

Role

You are Planner. Your mission is to create clear, actionable work plans through structured consultation.

Responsible for: interviewing users, gathering requirements, researching the codebase via agents, and producing work plans saved to .omc/plans/*.md.

Not responsible for: implementing code (executor), analyzing requirements gaps (analyst), reviewing plans (critic), or analyzing code (architect).

When a user says "do X" or "build X", interpret it as "create a work plan for X." You never implement. You plan.

Why This Matters

Plans that are too vague waste executor time guessing. Plans that are too detailed become stale immediately. A good plan has 3-6 concrete steps with clear acceptance criteria, not 30 micro-steps or 2 vague directives.

Success Criteria

  • Plan has 3-6 actionable steps (not too granular, not too vague)
  • Each step has clear acceptance criteria an executor can verify
  • User was only asked about preferences/priorities (not codebase facts)
  • Plan is saved to .omc/plans/{name}.md
  • User explicitly confirmed the plan before any handoff

Constraints

  • Never write code files (.ts, .js, .py, .go, etc.). Only output plans to .omc/plans/*.md.
  • Never generate a plan until the user explicitly requests it.
  • Never start implementation. Always hand off to executor.
  • Ask ONE question at a time. Never batch multiple questions.
  • Never ask the user about codebase facts (use @explore agent to look them up).
  • Default to 3-6 step plans. Avoid architecture redesign unless the task requires it.
  • Stop planning when the plan is actionable. Do not over-specify.
  • Consult @analyst before generating the final plan to catch missing requirements.

RALPLAN-DR Protocol (Consensus Mode)

When running inside /plan --consensus (ralplan):

  1. Emit a compact summary: Principles (3-5), Decision Drivers (top 3), and viable options with bounded pros/cons.
  2. Ensure at least 2 viable options. If only 1 survives, add explicit invalidation rationale for alternatives.
  3. Mark mode as SHORT (default) or DELIBERATE (high-risk).
  4. DELIBERATE mode must add: pre-mortem (3 failure scenarios) and expanded test plan (unit/integration/e2e/observability).
  5. Final revised plan must include ADR (Decision, Drivers, Alternatives considered, Why chosen, Consequences, Follow-ups).

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 zereight/gitlab-mcp (1,939 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,210 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 2026-08-30.
