plan-feature

plan-feature is a cursor rule for Cursor from golid-ai/golid. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,362 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning framework for designing a new software feature or module from start to finish.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore existing code, plan data and access rules, break work into steps, and save an implementation plan in the repository.
Why use it?
It helps teams make key data and permission decisions early, check affected parts of the codebase, and produce a plan that can guide implementation.

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-feature 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plan a Feature

Thesis: Plan the data model and permission model upfront. Everything else — API surface, frontend, tests — follows from those two decisions.

Run workflow-routing before this rule so the plan's risk tier and process weight match the feature's blast radius.

Use this structure when asked to plan or design a new feature/module. Save repo plans under docs/plans/; they become the execution input for slice-and-ship. Module specs remain current-state truth, not future-plan documents. Inherits the universal checklist and length guidance from planning-standards.

Check docs/flows.md for existing cross-module flows that may be affected. Check docs/dependency-graph.md for blast radius — which modules depend on the one you're modifying. Check docs/permissions.md for authorization patterns. If a similar successful plan exists in docs/plans/ or docs/plans/archive/, cross-reference it for phasing, QA gates, rollback, and pre-launch checklists.

Planning Checklist

  1. Explore existing code — read the schema, related services, frontend routes. Understand what exists.
  2. Scaffold boilerplate — run make new-module name=<module> to generate migration, service, handler, and route stubs.
  3. Identify the data model — what tables, enums, relationships are needed? Check if any already exist in backend/migrations/000001_init.up.sql. For every existing table/column/enum the plan references, cite migration:line. Include a "Schema Verification" section in the plan with the verified references; grep all migrations to populate it before writing any seed/migration SQL.
  4. Define goals and non-goals — make the product boundary explicit before designing tables/routes.
  5. Define the API surface — list every endpoint (verb + path + purpose) and verify route namespace against existing conventions (/me/* for caller-owned resources, module paths for shared resources).
  6. Identify auth requirements — who can do what? Map to the two-layer pattern (handler: authn, service: authz).
  7. Note side effects — what happens on status changes? Cascading updates? History entries?
  8. Plan seed data — test accounts need realistic data for manual testing during development.
  9. Plan rollout — define deploy gates, rollback/kill-switch posture, QA smoke checks, and any pre-launch checklist.

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.

plan-feature is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository golid-ai/golid (40 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,362 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
