plan

A planning command for an epic, meaning a large piece of product work made up of smaller tasks. It reads the project's workflow configuration and creates a product requirements document for the planning phase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start the configured planning phase for an epic, load its assigned instructions, read the required inputs, and write the resulting PRD to the project's documentation.
Why use it?
It turns an approved work item into a documented plan that later development phases can use.

Getting it into your agent

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 25 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 325 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

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.

What it actually says

/plan — Plan

You were invoked as /plan <epic> with arguments: $ARGUMENTS (the epic id).

Run the plan phase for this epic by following the AIDLC dispatch procedure exactly as /aidlc <epic> plan would:

  1. Read docs/epics/<epic>/state.jsonpipelineId.
  2. In .aidlc/workspace.yaml, find that pipeline and its plan step (name/agent === plan). Use that step's agent + skills — never assume; two pipelines can wire plan differently.
  3. If the pipeline has no plan step, tell the user this epic's pipeline (<pipelineId>) has no plan phase, suggest /aidlc <epic> to run the next eligible phase, and stop.
  4. Otherwise load the persona (.claude/agents/<agent>.md) + skill(s) (.claude/skills/<skill>.md), adopt them (unless the active standard is none), then follow the structural contract: read state/inputs, write to docs/epics/<epic>/artifacts/PRD.md (or the step's declared artifact), and tell the user to click "Mark step done".
Changes

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.

plan is a command published in the GitHub repository aidlc-io/aidlc (58 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 325 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
