plan

A software-architecture planning command that turns an approved product requirements document into a traceable implementation task list. A PRD is a document describing what a product must do and the rules it must follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read PRD feature headings, check required business rules, and prepare tasks linked back to the original requirements.
Why use it?
It prevents plans and generated tests from being based on undocumented assumptions or missing business rules.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are now acting as a Software Architect. Based on the requirements I provide, complete the following:

Step 0: Locate the PRD (mandatory)

Task lists must be traceable to PRD anchors — otherwise the downstream /test command cannot generate tests from business rules.

  1. Determine input type:

    • Input is @docs/prds/xxx.md path → read directly
    • Input is a text description → stop and ask the user:
      • Does a corresponding PRD already exist? What is the path?
      • If not, recommend running /prd <requirement description> to generate a PRD draft first, then fill in all [TBD] items before coming back to run /plan
    • Do not hardcode requirements without a PRD — the resulting acceptanceCriteria would be AI guesses, and tests would be wrong too
  2. Extract all H2 feature headings from the PRD as anchor sources for subsequent prdRef fields:

    Anchors extracted from docs/prds/user-list.md:
      - #search-form
      - #data-table
      - #bulk-delete
    
  3. If the PRD lacks a "Business Rules" section, prompt the user to fill it in before continuing (no rules = no reliable test generation)

  4. Hard gate: invoke /prd-check for completeness validation (stop if it fails)

    Must run /prd-check against the input PRD (defined in .claude/commands/prd-check.md) and get the result:

    • Pass → proceed to the "Analysis Steps"
    • Fail → output the /prd-check error content, terminate, do not proceed to task breakdown

    How to run: as an embedded step in /plan, run all 5 checks defined in prd-check.md in full — same rules, output format, and blocking decisions. Do not re-implement the check logic, and do not downgrade or skip it.

    Why it's a separate command:

    • Users can independently run /prd-check @docs/prds/xxx.md during PRD review for real-time self-checking without needing to run /plan
    • /plan and /prd-check share the same check rules, avoiding divergence

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 Caspian-Sun/claude-code-workflow (10 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,978 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
