planning-session

A planning session is a guided discussion for making project decisions at a strategic, tactical, operational, or bug-triage level. It records the outcomes and can turn research topics into analysis documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review and prioritise a roadmap, plan a feature, check project status, score a bug or request, update tracker projects, and save planning or analysis notes.
Why use it?
It gives different kinds of planning a consistent structure and keeps decisions connected to the roadmap and issue tracker. It also preserves notes for later work.

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.

Per session 27 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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

planning-session 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.

Planning Session

Guide the user through a structured planning session.

Determine Session Type

$ARGUMENTS may specify the type. If not, ask using AskUserQuestion.

Types:

  • strategic -- Roadmap review and prioritization
  • tactical -- Plan a specific feature (interview -> design -> tasks -> import)
  • operational -- Status check and task prioritization
  • triage -- Quick-score a bug, feature request, or feedback item

Process

Strategic

  1. Review project goals and metrics
  2. Audit existing roadmap/feature list
  3. Prioritize features by impact
  4. For topics needing deep investigation before creating analysis docs, offer to use the interview skill to gather structured context. This produces a discovery brief that can inform the analysis.
  5. Update roadmap and issue tracker projects
  6. Save notes to docs/planning-sessions/YYYY-QN.md
  7. For each analysis topic discussed, offer to save it as a standalone analysis doc:
    • Read discovery.analysis_dir from .coco/config.yaml (default: docs/analysis)
    • Load analysis template from .coco/templates/analysis-template.md if it exists, otherwise use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/analysis-template.md
    • Fill in findings, implications, and recommendations from the session discussion
    • Write to {discovery.analysis_dir}/{topic-slug}.md
    • These analysis docs are discoverable by /coco:roadmap for roadmap generation

Tactical

Step 1: Determine Complexity Tier

Before running the pipeline, classify the feature scope:

Tier Signal Pipeline
Trivial User says "small", "quick", "hotfix"; single file mentioned; bug fix hotfix skill (no epic)
Light 1-3 files, single user story, no internal dependencies design (light mode) -> import (design-only)
Standard Multi-file, multiple stories, dependencies between components interview -> design -> tasks -> import

Ask the user using AskUserQuestion: "How complex is this feature?" with options:

  • Quick fix -- Single issue, 1 file (routes to Trivial)
  • Small feature -- 1-3 files, straightforward (routes to Light)
  • Full feature -- Multiple files, dependencies, needs detailed planning (routes to Standard)

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-session is a command published in the GitHub repository skullninja/coco-workflow (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 946 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
