claude-sdd-planner: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-sdd-planner CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from danweinerdev/claude-sdd-planner. It costs 6,158 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Claude Code instructions for a spec-driven development planner, a tool that organizes software work around written requirements. It also explains how one source project produces versions for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.

In plain words
What is it for?
For planning and reviewing development work, following the project’s directory and frontmatter rules, and synchronizing plugin trees for different coding-agent tools.
Why use it?
It prevents generated plugin files from being edited directly and keeps the supported versions consistent. It documents the project’s file structure and conventions.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is danweinerdev/claude-sdd-planner's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-sdd-planner 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-sdd-planner configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

Reuse

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

claude-sdd-planner CLAUDE.md 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 1mo 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.

SDD Planner

A spec-driven development toolchain: structured project planning with lifecycle skills, intent-isolated review agents, and a deterministic Go validator (sdd). This repository is the single source for every supported harness:

  • Repo root — the canonical, hand-edited Claude Code plugin (commands/, agents/, skills/, shared/, hooks/).
  • .codex-plugin/ and .opencode-plugin/ — generated plugin trees for Codex and OpenCode, produced by sdd plugin sync. Never hand-edited; drift fails make test.

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.
