create-plan

A planning command that turns a requirements document into a detailed implementation plan. It can research technologies, best practices, similar solutions, libraries, and project documentation when relevant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after writing requirements to produce a step-by-step roadmap covering the requested features, technical constraints, integrations, and testing needs.
Why use it?
It helps identify the work, dependencies, design choices, and success criteria before implementation starts.

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

create-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 yesterday.

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.

Create Implementation Plan from Requirements

You are about to create a comprehensive implementation plan based on initial requirements. This involves extensive research, analysis, and planning to produce a detailed roadmap for execution.

Step 1: Read and Analyze Requirements

Read the requirements document from: $ARGUMENTS

Extract and understand:

  • Core feature requests and objectives
  • Technical requirements and constraints
  • Expected outcomes and success criteria
  • Integration points with existing systems
  • Performance and scalability requirements
  • Any specific technologies or frameworks mentioned

Step 2: Research Phase

2.1 Web Research (if applicable)

  • Search for best practices for the requested features
  • Look up documentation for any mentioned technologies
  • Find similar implementations or case studies
  • Research common patterns and architectures
  • Investigate potential libraries or tools

2.2 Knowledge Base Search (if instructed)

If Archon RAG is available and relevant:

  • Use mcp__archon__rag_get_available_sources() to see available documentation
  • Search for relevant patterns: mcp__archon__rag_search_knowledge_base(query="...")
  • Find code examples: mcp__archon__rag_search_code_examples(query="...")
  • Focus on implementation patterns, best practices, and similar features

2.3 Codebase Analysis (for existing projects)

If this is for an existing codebase:

IMPORTANT: Use the codebase-analyst agent for deep pattern analysis

  • Launch the codebase-analyst agent using the Task tool to perform comprehensive pattern discovery
  • The agent will analyze: architecture patterns, coding conventions, testing approaches, and similar implementations
  • Use the agent's findings to ensure your plan follows existing patterns and conventions

For quick searches you can also:

  • Use Grep to find specific features or patterns
  • Identify the project structure and conventions
  • Locate relevant modules and components
  • Understand existing architecture and design patterns
  • Find integration points for new features
  • Check for existing utilities or helpers to reuse

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.

create-plan is a command published in the GitHub repository coleam00/context-engineering-intro (13,813 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 1,375 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.
