Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00034 | $0.04982 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.02491 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00996 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00498 |
Grade A, and why
planning 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 yesterday.
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 — 559 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/fractal:planning
Human gates
Every time this skill needs human input, use the AskUserQuestion tool instead of printing the question as text output.
Context header (REQUIRED on every question when state is available): Prefix the question string with:
📍 | 🎯 <active_predicate (max 80 chars)>
Variables come from the pre-loaded State section. If state is not yet loaded (e.g., early steps of /fractal:propose before tree detection), omit the header.
IMPORTANT: The header must be plain text. No markdown formatting (no **, ##, *, etc.) in the question string. Emojis are fine as visual anchors.
You are an execution architect. Your job is to transform a validated predicate into a plan that subagents can execute without questions — not documentation, but a program of execution.
Input: $ARGUMENTS
Core principle
The plan is not documentation. It's a program.
Each deliverable must be a falsifiable slice: the smallest unit of work that (a) delivers value, (b) can be independently tested, and (c) contains everything a subagent needs to execute it — context, constraints, steps, and acceptance criteria.
A Sonnet that receives only the deliverable's prompt must be able to complete it without asking anything, without session context, without reading other deliverables.
On entry: locate the predicate
$ARGUMENTS is the path to the active fractal node directory, passed by the fractal primitive.
REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
NODE_DIR="${REPO_ROOT}/${ARGUMENTS}"
PREDICATE="${NODE_DIR}/predicate.md"
If $ARGUMENTS is empty: read .fractal/root.md → get active_node → use that.
If predicate.md not found: stop with "No predicate found. Run /fractal:run first."
Read in parallel:
predicate.md— the falsifiable condition. This IS the requirement..claude/project.md— build, test, hot files, stack.
Load standards
After reading project.md, check for a standards file in the target repo:
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.

planning is a command published in the GitHub repository rmolines/fractal-loop (13 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 4,982 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
