plan-release

plan-release is a cursor rule for Cursor from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,674 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-planning process that orders completed feature epics into a versioned release plan. WSJF is a method for ranking work by its expected business value, urgency, and effort.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a feature specification exists to create the release index, epic records, story details, and execution status files.
Why use it?
It keeps release sequencing separate from feature scoping and implementation planning, so teams can decide what ships first using consistent priorities.

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

plan-release 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plan Release

HARD GATE — Do NOT run this skill unless elaborate-spec has produced a clear spec or the user has already defined the feature in detail. If the problem is still fuzzy, run elaborate-spec first. HARD GATEspecs/product/SCOPE_LATEST.yaml (or legacy specs/product/SCOPE_LATEST.yaml) must exist. If missing, run scope-work first.

Synthesize the conversation context into specs/release-plan.yaml (index) and shard detail under specs/epics/. No new interview — only clarify if something is genuinely ambiguous.

Outputs

File Content
specs/release-plan.yaml release.version, semver bump hint, WSJF-ordered epic list with id, capsule_dir, wsjf, bcpsno story status
specs/epics/eNN-<slug>/epic.yaml Epic manifest: id, title, wsjf, total_bcps, status, stories[] list
specs/epics/eNN-<slug>/eNNsYY-<slug>.md Story spec in countable-story-format.md with 20 sections and Gherkin acceptance criteria
specs/epics/eNN-<slug>/eNNsYY-tasks.yaml Decoupled task checklist with verify: commands per task
specs/execution-status.yaml Flat key-value store for story status (eNNsYY: todo)

Epic Capsule Structure

All epics use capsule directories (no flat/folder distinction):

specs/epics/e01-auth-system/
├── epic.yaml              # Epic manifest
├── adr/                   # Epic-local ADRs (created lazily)
├── e01s01-login.md        # Story spec (countable-story-format)
├── e01s01-tasks.yaml      # Decoupled task checklist
├── e01s02-jwt.md          # Story spec
└── e01s02-tasks.yaml      # Decoupled task checklist

Rationale: Capsule dirs achieve change isolation (C9), enable archive pruning (C2/C6), and enforce SRP by decoupling spec .md from execution -tasks.yaml (C1).

Process

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.
