In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deepen a plan stored in a project file, such as a feature or implementation plan.
Why use it?

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 C, and why

deepen-plan scanned grade C with 2 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 6d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Deepen Plan - Power Enhancement Mode

Introduction

Note: The current year is 2026. Use this when searching for recent documentation and best practices.

This command takes an existing plan (from /ce:plan) and enhances each section with parallel research agents. Each major element gets its own dedicated research sub-agent to find:

  • Best practices and industry patterns
  • Performance optimizations
  • UI/UX improvements (if applicable)
  • Quality enhancements and edge cases
  • Real-world implementation examples

The result is a deeply grounded, production-ready plan with concrete implementation details.

Plan File

<plan_path> #$ARGUMENTS </plan_path>

If the plan path above is empty:

  1. Check for recent plans: ls -la docs/plans/
  2. Ask the user: "Which plan would you like to deepen? Please provide the path (e.g., docs/plans/2026-01-15-feat-my-feature-plan.md)."

Do not proceed until you have a valid plan file path.

Main Tasks

1. Parse and Analyze Plan Structure

Read the plan file and extract:

  • Overview/Problem Statement
  • Proposed Solution sections
  • Technical Approach/Architecture
  • Implementation phases/steps
  • Code examples and file references
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Any UI/UX components mentioned
  • Technologies/frameworks mentioned (Rails, React, Python, TypeScript, etc.)
  • Domain areas (data models, APIs, UI, security, performance, etc.)

Create a section manifest:

Section 1: [Title] - [Brief description of what to research]
Section 2: [Title] - [Brief description of what to research]
...

2. Discover and Apply Available Skills

Step 1: Discover ALL available skills from ALL sources

# 1. Project-local skills (highest priority - project-specific)
ls .claude/skills/

# 2. User's global skills (~/.claude/)
ls ~/.claude/skills/

# 3. compound-engineering plugin skills
ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/compound-engineering/*/skills/

# 4. ALL other installed plugins - check every plugin for skills
find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -type d -name "skills" 2>/dev/null

# 5. Also check installed_plugins.json for all plugin locations
cat ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json

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.

deepen-plan is a command published in the GitHub repository tajmahal226/compound-engineering-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 4,281 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, enumerates other installed skills). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
