claude-soul: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/breakdown-design.md

breakdown-design is a command for Claude Code from tomdwipo/claude-soul. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,197 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that writes a detailed implementation plan for a requested feature, including the code before and after each change. It applies YAGNI, meaning it avoids building parts that are not currently needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before coding when you need a saved plan with exact file changes, technical reasoning, required setup, and ways to verify the result.
Why use it?
It turns a feature request into smaller, reviewable coding steps and explains why each change, dependency, and test is needed.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is tomdwipo/claude-soul's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-soul 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 claude-soul 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

breakdown-design 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.

breakdown-design Command

Create a detailed step-by-step implementation plan for $ARGUMENTS with comprehensive before/after code examples create file at .docs/year(YYYY)/month(MM)/day(DD)/{number-in-DD-folder(01)}-{Feature Spec}/{Feature Spec}-implementation-plan.md if requirement is clear or no have follow up question. think hard and provide a comprehensive implementation plan with before/after code examples for each step. follow YAGNI principle so dont create dead code or unnecessary files. max 29000 characters. If the result exceeds 29000 characters, leave it as is — do NOT truncate, summarize, or drop sections to fit the limit. Completeness of the implementation plan takes precedence over the character cap.

Template Structure

Step-by-Step Implementation Plan with Before/After Code

Provide a breakdown that includes:

  1. Clear Step Numbering: Each step should be numbered and have a descriptive title
  2. Before/After Code Blocks: Show exact code changes for each step (add comments for code what you are changing)
  3. Technical Rationale: Explain why each change is needed
  4. Dependencies: Note any imports or setup required
  5. Testing Considerations: How to verify each step works
  6. Observability logging: Add logging at the appropriate level — see §Observability for the full Decision Guide:
    • Timber.e(throwable, "…") — errors with a Throwable (records a non-fatal in Crashlytics)
    • Timber.e("…") — errors without a Throwable (breadcrumb + pattern scan)
    • Timber.w("…") — degraded-behaviour paths in real app logic (breadcrumb + pattern scan)
    • Timber.d("…") — diagnostics + monitoring/instrumentation chatter (breadcrumb only)
    • Timber.i("…") — lifecycle / info-level milestones (breadcrumb only) Fall back to Log.d/i/w/e("TAG", "…") if Timber is not on the module classpath.
  7. Unit Testing: Include unit tests for each step
  8. Flow Diagram Update: Include an ASCII flow diagram showing the BEFORE and AFTER user/data flow (screen transitions, ViewModel ↔ UseCase ↔ Repository calls, branches, side-effects). Use ASCII box-drawing (┌─┐ │ └─┘ → ↓ ↑) — no Mermaid, no images. If the change does not alter any flow (pure refactor / cosmetic), write Flow Diagram: N/A — no flow change and explain in one line why.

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.

breakdown-design is a command published in the GitHub repository tomdwipo/claude-soul (24 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,197 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.
