plan

plan is a command for Claude Code from Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar. It costs 25 tokens per session (798 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that turns a software request into a written implementation plan before code is changed. It restates requirements, lists risks and dependencies, estimates complexity, and waits for approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan new features, major refactoring, or other complex software changes step by step.
Why use it?
It helps expose unclear requirements and likely blockers before implementation begins. This is useful when a change affects several files or involves architectural decisions.

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 8d 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.

Plan Command

This command creates a comprehensive implementation plan before writing any code.

What This Command Does

  1. Restate Requirements - Clarify what needs to be built
  2. Identify Risks - Surface potential issues and blockers
  3. Create Step Plan - Break down implementation into phases
  4. Wait for Confirmation - MUST receive user approval before proceeding

When to Use

Use /plan when:

  • Starting a new feature
  • Making significant architectural changes
  • Working on complex refactoring
  • Multiple files/components will be affected
  • Requirements are unclear or ambiguous

How It Works

This command should:

  1. Analyze the request and restate requirements in clear terms
  2. Break down into phases with specific, actionable steps
  3. Identify dependencies between components
  4. Assess risks and potential blockers
  5. Estimate complexity (High/Medium/Low)
  6. Present the plan and WAIT for your explicit confirmation

Example Usage

User: /plan I need to add real-time notifications when markets resolve

Assistant:
# Implementation Plan: Real-Time Market Resolution Notifications

## Requirements Restatement
- Send notifications to users when markets they're watching resolve
- Support multiple notification channels (in-app, email, webhook)
- Ensure notifications are delivered reliably
- Include market outcome and user's position result

## Implementation Phases

### Phase 1: Database Schema
- Add notifications table with columns: id, user_id, market_id, type, status, created_at
- Add user_notification_preferences table for channel preferences
- Create indexes on user_id and market_id for performance

### Phase 2: Notification Service
- Create notification service in lib/notifications.py
- Implement notification queue using Celery/Redis
- Add retry logic for failed deliveries
- Create notification templates (Jinja2)

### Phase 3: Integration Points
- Hook into market resolution logic (when status changes to "resolved")
- Query all users with positions in market
- Enqueue notifications for each user

### Phase 4: API/Frontend
- Create notification endpoints (GET /api/notifications, POST /api/notifications/read)
- WebSocket support for real-time updates
- Frontend notification bell component
- Notification preferences page

## Dependencies
- Redis (for Celery queue)
- Celery (task queue)
- Email service (SendGrid/Resend/SMTP)
- WebSocket server (channels/websocket)

## Risks
- HIGH: Email deliverability (SPF/DKIM required)
- MEDIUM: Performance with 1000+ users per market
- MEDIUM: Notification spam if markets resolve frequently
- LOW: WebSocket connection overhead

## Estimated Complexity: MEDIUM
- Backend: 4-6 hours
- API/Frontend: 3-4 hours
- Testing: 2-3 hours
- Total: 9-13 hours

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.
