planning-comprehensive

A detailed planning guide for intermediate software features. It moves from requirements and component analysis through design, implementation, testing, and documentation, with optional design work for the interface, architecture, or algorithms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a feature plan, choose the parts that need extra design, define an implementation strategy, and plan how the finished work will be tested and documented.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad feature request into concrete technical decisions and work steps. This makes dependencies, risks, tests, and documentation needs visible before coding begins.

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-comprehensive 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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to planning-comprehensive — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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-comprehensive is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository alkoleft/platform-context-exporter (48 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,511 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to planning-comprehensive, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
