hybrid-auto

hybrid-auto is a command for coding agents from Taoidle/plan-cascade. It costs 107 tokens per session (8,196 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that turns a task description into a product requirements document, or PRD—a plan containing user stories, priorities, dependencies, and acceptance criteria. It then opens the plan for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break work into ordered stories, optionally configure the execution flow or test-driven development (TDD), and save the plan for later approval.
Why use it?
It gives a large task a structured, reviewable plan before implementation begins.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

hybrid-auto 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 4d 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.

Hybrid Ralph - Auto Generate PRD

You are automatically generating a Product Requirements Document (PRD) from the task description.

Execution Flow Parameters

This command accepts flow control parameters that affect story execution:

Parameter Priority

Parameters are saved to prd.json and later used by /plan-cascade:approve. Priority order:

  1. Command-line flags to THIS command (highest priority)

    • Example: /plan-cascade:hybrid-auto --flow full "task"
    • Saved to prd.json as flow_config, tdd_config, etc.
  2. Command-line flags to /plan-cascade:approve

    • Can override values saved in prd.json
    • Example: Even if prd.json has flow_config.level="standard", running /plan-cascade:approve --flow full will use full
  3. Default values (lowest priority)

    • Used when no flags provided to either command

Example Flow:

# Step 1: Generate PRD with parameters
/plan-cascade:hybrid-auto --flow full --tdd on "Build auth"
# → Saves to prd.json: flow_config.level="full", tdd_config.mode="on"

# Step 2a: Approve with saved parameters
/plan-cascade:approve
# → Uses flow="full", tdd="on" from prd.json

# Step 2b: Approve with override
/plan-cascade:approve --flow standard
# → Uses flow="standard" (overrides prd.json), tdd="on" (from prd.json)

Note: This command writes parameters to prd.json in Step 5. The recommended /plan-cascade:approve command (shown in Step 6) includes the same parameters for clarity, but they're already in prd.json.

--flow <quick|standard|full>

Override the execution flow depth for the approve phase.

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.
