create-feature-plan

A command that creates a test-driven development plan for a software feature. Test-driven development, or TDD, means planning and writing tests around the expected behavior of the feature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and search feature plans, document interfaces and risks, and manage plan documents through limps planning tools.
Why use it?
It organizes feature work into detailed planning documents while keeping the files used by agents minimal and avoiding direct file changes.

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

create-feature-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 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.

Create Feature Plan v2.1.0

Generate a TDD plan with verbose planning docs and minimal agent execution files using MCP planning tools.

LLM Execution Rules

  • Use MCP planning tools for all reads/writes; do not write files directly.
  • Do not include secrets, tokens, or credentials in plan content.
  • Only run process_doc/process_docs with code you authored or reviewed.

Invocation

/create-feature-plan

MCP Integration

This command uses limps MCP tools for document management:

  • Server: limps
  • Tools:
    • create_plan - Create the plan structure
    • create_doc - Create planning documents ({plan-name}-plan.md, interfaces.md, README.md, gotchas.md)
    • list_docs - List existing plans to determine next plan number
    • process_doc - Process documents with JavaScript (read, filter, transform, extract)
    • process_docs - Process multiple documents with JavaScript (analyze patterns across plans)
    • search_docs - Full-text search across documents

Usage: Call tools via call_mcp_tool with server: "limps" and the tool name (e.g., create_plan, create_doc, etc.)

Plan Operations Skill

Use /limps-plan-operations to keep plan identification and artifact loading consistent:

  • identify-plan when referencing an existing plan for comparison or migration context
  • resolve-path to normalize plan names/paths before constructing doc paths
  • load-artifacts to read plan files, interfaces, README, gotchas, and agents via MCP tools

Workflow

Phase 1: Gather Context

Ask user for:

  • Project name and scope
  • Work type: refactor | overhaul | features
  • Tech stack and existing patterns
  • Prototype/reference documents
  • Known gotchas upfront

Phase 2: Create Planning Docs (Verbose)

Use MCP tools for document creation:

  1. Create plan structure using create_plan (server: limps):
    • Plan name: descriptive-name (NO numeric prefix)
    • create_plan prefixes the next plan number automatically (e.g., 0043-descriptive-name)
    • If you already have an NNNN- prefix, strip it to avoid duplication
    • Description: Brief overview of the plan

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.
