ace:plan-phase

ace:plan-phase is a command for Claude Code from AgriciDaniel/ace-claude-code. It costs 11 tokens per session (1,012 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates a PLAN.md file for a selected project phase. It reads the project's roadmap, requirements, current state, configuration, and optional codebase notes before defining the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a numbered roadmap phase, assign up to three tasks to ALPHA, BETA, or GAMMA zones, and account for dependencies and deferred issues.
Why use it?
It turns a phase goal into a small, ordered plan while respecting the project's execution zones and existing issues.

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

ace:plan-phase 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Each task is assigned to a zone (ALPHA/BETA/GAMMA) for parallel execution.

Required: @.ace/planning/STATE.md @.ace/planning/PROJECT.md @.ace/planning/ROADMAP.md

Load: @.ace/config.json (for project type) @.ace/project-types.json (for zone definitions)

Optional: @.ace/planning/codebase/ (if exists) @.ace/planning/ISSUES.md (for deferred items to address)

Template: @.ace/templates/planning/plan.md

1. Validate Phase Number

if $ARGUMENTS is empty:
    Error: "Specify phase number: /ace:plan-phase 1"

if phase $ARGUMENTS not in ROADMAP.md:
    Error: "Phase $ARGUMENTS not found in ROADMAP.md"

2. Load Context

Read and understand:

  • Current phase goal from ROADMAP.md
  • Project requirements from PROJECT.md
  • Current state from STATE.md
  • Project type and zone definitions
  • Any open issues to potentially address

3. Determine Plan Number

count existing plans in .ace/planning/phases/{phase}/
next_plan = count + 1
plan_id = "{phase:02d}-{next_plan:02d}"

4. Design Tasks

Create maximum 3 tasks based on:

  • Phase goal
  • Zone ownership (project-types.json)
  • Dependencies between tasks

Each task must:

  • Be assigned to exactly one zone
  • Have clear file scope
  • Be independently committable
  • Have verification criteria

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.
