ace:show-plan

A read-only command that displays a project plan without carrying out any of its tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the current plan or open a specific plan by its path or identifier.
Why use it?
It lets you review the planned work, files, checkpoints, and completion checks before execution changes anything.

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

ace:show-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 3d 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 — 213 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This is a read-only inspection command for reviewing plans before execution.

Required: @.ace/planning/STATE.md

Load plan from:

  • If $ARGUMENTS is a path: Use that path directly
  • If $ARGUMENTS is a plan_id (e.g., "02-01"): Find in phases/
  • If no arguments: Read STATE.md for current plan reference

1. Locate Plan

if $ARGUMENTS provided:
    if $ARGUMENTS is path (contains /):
        plan_path = $ARGUMENTS
    else:
        # Treat as plan_id like "02-01"
        Find matching PLAN.md in .ace/planning/phases/

if no $ARGUMENTS:
    Read STATE.md for current plan path
    if no current plan:
        Error: "No current plan. Run /ace:plan-phase [N] first"

2. Parse Plan File

Read PLAN.md and extract:

  • Phase and plan metadata
  • Tasks (max 3)
  • Zone assignments per task
  • File patterns per task
  • Checkpoints (if any)
  • Verification criteria

3. Display Plan Header

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.
