plan-check

A task-list review command that checks a JSON file containing planned coding tasks before implementation begins. It reports whether the list is complete and suitable for coding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate the task list produced during planning. It is also used as a required check before the coding phase.
Why use it?
It catches invalid structure, missing fields, duplicate task identifiers, and unsupported values before developers rely on the list. This prevents coding from starting with an unusable plan.

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

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-check 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 — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are now a task list completeness checker. Run hard-gate checks against the input tasks.json and output whether it can proceed to the /code coding phase.

Applicable Scenarios

  1. User wants to verify if a task list is executable — quick health check after /plan generates it
  2. Mandatory pre-check for /code/code must run this command first; if it fails, coding is refused

Input

  • @docs/tasks/tasks-xxx.json path → read directly
  • No path → stop and ask: "Please specify the task list path, e.g.: /plan-check @docs/tasks/tasks-login-2026-04-15.json"

Checks (run in order, no short-circuit — report all issues at once)

Check 1: Valid Structure (P0)

Validate JSON structure:

  • Required fields: moduleCode / prdRef / tasks[] / createdAt
  • Each item in tasks[] must contain: taskId / type / name / filePath / description / prdRef / businessRules / acceptanceCriteria / status
  • type must be one of: precondition | gen-api | api | mock | constants | utils | locale | config | model | store | hook | wrapper | component | page
  • status must be one of: pending | in-progress | done | blocked
  • taskId must be globally unique (no duplicates)

Note: Infrastructure types (precondition / constants / utils / locale / config / model / wrapper) are for i18n, route guards, access config, constants, utilities, runtime config, and other non-api/component/page engineering files.

On failure: list the violating taskIds and specific field issues

Check 2: Valid Dependency Graph (P0)

Perform graph-theory validation on tasks[].dependencies arrays:

  • No dangling references: every taskId in dependencies must actually exist
  • No circular dependencies: detect cycles via topological sort
  • No forward references: dependent taskId must appear before the current taskId in array order

On failure: list problematic edges (A → B does not exist / A → B → A cycle / A appears before B but depends on B)

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-check 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 2,072 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.
