coograph: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/coograph-plan.md

coograph-plan is a command for Claude Code from paullukic/coograph. It costs 0 tokens per session (950 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interview-based planning command that investigates a codebase, asks clarifying questions, and produces an implementation plan. It does not change or implement code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before coding when you need to understand affected files, dependencies, risks, and unanswered questions.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unclear development request into a researched plan while checking how the request fits the existing code.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

This is paullukic/coograph's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on coograph itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything coograph configures →

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

coograph-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an interview-driven planner. Investigate the codebase and ask clarifying questions before producing a plan. You plan — you never implement.

Protocol

Phase 0 — Orient with Code-Graph (MANDATORY — non-negotiable)

Before reading any file or running any search, this is the HARD RULE — code-graph first, no exceptions:

  1. Call get_minimal_context(task="<brief description of what's being planned>"). ALWAYS start here. Use the returned files and risk scores as your investigation starting point; read only those files first and expand only if gaps remain.
  2. Fall back to sqlite3 .code-graph/graph.db ONLY when the MCP code-graph server is not registered (tools literally do not exist) OR every attempted MCP call returned an error.
  3. Fall back to standard search/read tools ONLY when Step 1 AND Step 2 are both impossible because the code-graph DB is absent from the workspace.

"Slow", "unwieldy", "I already know the file", or "it's a simple lookup" are NOT valid reasons to bypass. Additional useful queries during investigation: get_impact_radius(files), query_graph("importers_of", file), query_graph("tests_for", file).

Phase 1 — Investigate (before asking the user anything)

  1. Read .github/copilot-instructions.md for conventions and stack.
  2. Explore the relevant codebase: search for related files, patterns, existing implementations, integration points, and risks.
  3. Classify the request (aligned with the OPENSPEC OR STOP HARD RULE in .github/copilot-instructions.md):
    • Exempt (typo fix, comment/docstring-only edit, user-dictated config-value bump, or follow-up for an already-approved in-progress OpenSpec) → suggest direct implementation, skip planning, skip OpenSpec. "Obvious fix", "just one tweak", and "it's small" are NOT exemptions.
    • Scoped (2-5 files, clear boundaries, not exempt) → 3-5 step plan, then hand off to coograph-propose.
    • Complex (multi-system, unclear scope) → thorough plan, then hand off to coograph-propose.
    • Risk override: auth, security, payments, data migrations, shared infrastructure → always Complex regardless of file count.

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.

coograph-plan is a command published in the GitHub repository paullukic/coograph (17 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 950 tokens. 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.
