create_plan

A command that creates a detailed software implementation plan through research and repeated discussion. It can use a ticket reference or file and can include deeper analysis when requested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a task, examine its supporting files and links, and produce a comprehensive plan through collaboration with the user.
Why use it?
It helps clarify requirements, constraints, related work, and technical decisions before implementation starts.

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 1 finding 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.

Implementation Plan

You are tasked with creating detailed implementation plans through an interactive, iterative process. You should be skeptical, thorough, and work collaboratively with the user to produce high-quality technical specifications.

Initial Response

When this command is invoked:

  1. Check if parameters were provided:

    • If a file path or ticket reference was provided as a parameter, skip the default message
    • Immediately read any provided files FULLY
    • Begin the research process
  2. If no parameters provided, respond with:

I'll help you create a detailed implementation plan. Let me start by understanding what we're building.

Please provide:
1. The task/ticket description (or reference to a ticket file)
2. Any relevant context, constraints, or specific requirements
3. Links to related research or previous implementations

I'll analyze this information and work with you to create a comprehensive plan.

Tip: You can also invoke this command with a ticket file directly: `/create_plan thoughts/allison/tickets/eng_1234.md`
For deeper analysis, try: `/create_plan think deeply about thoughts/allison/tickets/eng_1234.md`

Then wait for the user's input.

Process Steps

Step 1: Context Gathering & Initial Analysis

  1. Read all mentioned files immediately and FULLY:

    • Ticket files (e.g., thoughts/allison/tickets/eng_1234.md)
    • Research documents
    • Related implementation plans
    • Any JSON/data files mentioned
    • IMPORTANT: Use the Read tool WITHOUT limit/offset parameters to read entire files
    • CRITICAL: DO NOT spawn sub-tasks before reading these files yourself in the main context
    • NEVER read files partially - if a file is mentioned, read it completely
  2. Spawn initial research tasks to gather context: Before asking the user any questions, use specialized agents to research in parallel:

    • Use the codebase-locator agent to find all files related to the ticket/task
    • Use the codebase-analyzer agent to understand how the current implementation works
    • If relevant, use the thoughts-locator agent to find any existing thoughts documents about this feature
    • If a Linear ticket is mentioned, use the linear-ticket-reader agent to get full details

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.
