make-plan

make-plan is a cursor rule for Cursor from GktuOktay/ai-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,117 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for turning a broad software requirement into smaller, ordered tasks with goals, dependencies, risks, and completion criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define scope, break work into features and tasks, map dependencies, identify risks, and prepare an implementation plan.
Why use it?
It makes large or unclear projects easier to organise and gives developers a practical sequence of work.

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

make-plan 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.

Project Planning & Task Breakdown Skill

Overview

This skill focuses on taking a high-level requirement or abstract idea and transforming it into a structured, actionable, and prioritized implementation plan. It covers task decomposition, dependency mapping, risk identification, and structured outputs for engineering execution.

Phase 1: Requirements Analysis

Before breaking down tasks, establish absolute clarity on what needs to be built.

  1. Objective Statement: What is the primary goal of this project?
  2. Scope Boundaries: Explicitly define what is IN scope and what is OUT of scope.
  3. Success Criteria: How will we know this project is completed successfully? (e.g., Performance metrics, user acceptance tests).

Phase 2: Task Decomposition (The Hierarchy)

Break down the work into progressively smaller, manageable units.

  1. Epics (High-Level Features): Major functional areas (e.g., "User Authentication System").
  2. Stories (User-Centric Work): Specific functionality delivering value (e.g., "As a user, I can log in with Google").
  3. Tasks (Technical Implementation): Engineering steps to achieve a story (e.g., "Set up OAuth2 endpoints", "Create Login UI component").
  4. Subtasks (Checklist Items): Micro-steps (e.g., "Add Google logo asset", "Write unit tests for token validation").

Rule of Thumb: A Task should represent work that takes a single engineer 1-3 days to complete. If it takes longer, it should be broken down further.

Phase 3: Dependency Mapping

Identify the order of operations to prevent blockers.

  • Finish-to-Start (FS): Task B cannot start until Task A finishes. (Most common in software).
  • Parallel Workstreams: Identify which tasks can be developed concurrently by different team members (e.g., Frontend UI can be built with mock data while Backend API is being developed).

Example Mapping:

  • Database Schema (Blocks ->) Backend API
  • Backend API (Blocks ->) Frontend Integration
  • UI Mockups (Blocks ->) Frontend Layout

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.

make-plan is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository GktuOktay/ai-skills (2 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,117 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 2026-09-03.
