plan-verify

plan-verify is a command for Claude Code from oborchers/fractional-cto. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,602 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that checks a drafted master plan against a fixed review checklist and reports a pass or fail result. With approval, it can add a dated verified marker to the plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a master planning document and optionally record that it passed the checklist.
Why use it?
It exposes missing sections, vague dependencies, unsupported references, or phases that cannot be acted on before the plan is used. It can also find the likely plan file when no path is supplied.

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-verify 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 5d 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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are auditing a master planning document against the plan-verification-checklist skill. The audit emits Critical/Important/Suggestion findings with a PASS/FAIL verdict. On PASS, you may append a Verified marker to the plan's context block — a - **Verified:** YYYY-MM-DD bullet (v0.3.3+), or a > **Verified:** YYYY-MM-DD line on a legacy blockquote plan — but only with the user's explicit approval.

Input: $ARGUMENTS — the path to the master plan.

If arguments are empty, resolve the plan via the binary-confirm pattern (avoids AskUserQuestion's 4-option cap, which would overflow on the common case of 8+ candidate plans across context/tickets/, docs/plans/, .claude/plans/master/):

  1. Glob context/tickets/*-PLAN.md, docs/plans/*.md, .claude/plans/master/*.md (whichever exists) under the git root. Sort by modification time, newest first.

  2. 0 candidates: error with the three searched paths and a hint to pass an explicit path.

  3. 1 candidate: use it. Print the resolved path. Continue to Step 1.

  4. 2+ candidates: print the candidate list as plain text with the most-recently-modified at the top:

    N candidate master plans found (most-recent first):
      1. context/tickets/CI-21-PLAN.md — modified <date>
      2. context/tickets/CI-08-LITE-PLAN.md — modified <date>
      ...
      N. docs/plans/foo.md — modified <date>
    

    Then call AskUserQuestion with exactly two options:

    • Option 1 (recommended): "Verify the most-recently-modified plan (#1)" — description: "Audit <path of #1>."
    • Option 2: "Cancel — I'll re-run with explicit path" — description: "Stop. Re-run /planning-tools:plan-verify to target a specific plan."

    Branch on the answer. On Proceed, use the #1 (most-recently-modified) plan and continue to Step 1. On Cancel, stop.


Step 1 — Dispatch the verifier agent

Dispatch the plan-verifier agent (sonnet). The agent receives:

  • The plan path to audit
  • An output file path for the verification report (e.g., /tmp/plan-verify/<plan-basename>-verification.md)
  • Today's date

The agent reads the plan-verification-checklist skill, audits the plan against every dimension, and writes a structured report. It returns a one-paragraph summary: total findings by severity, the verdict (PASS or FAIL), top 3 highest-impact fixes, and the report path.

Do not re-read the full plan in the main conversation. The agent does that.
