plans_for_context

A set of project rules requiring a coding agent to read planning files in the /plans directory. Those files include a project-wide plan and smaller plans for individual tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for planning and carrying out development tasks that depend on the project's master plan and step plans.
Why use it?
It gives the agent shared project context and keeps task plans consistent with the project's tooling, environment, deployment, and security guidance.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

plans_for_context 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

The /plans directory contains a masterplan.md and step plans for each task. Always reference these plans for project context.

Plan-writing guidance (concise):

  • Guidance-first: describe steps and intent; avoid full file contents or long code blocks.
  • Minimal commands: include only essential commands (e.g., uv installs, run/test) for clarity.
  • Structure: use Phase sections (e.g., Tooling & Architecture; Abstract Execution Protocol) with Purpose and Action bullets.
  • References: cite official docs/links relevant to the step (MCP, transports, SDKs).
  • References: cite official docs/links relevant to the step (MCP, transports, SDKs, Railway railpack).
  • Dependencies: list package names; avoid pinning unless necessary; dev extras grouped per step.
  • Environment: follow 12‑factor; provide .env.example guidance (no secrets in plans).
  • Deployment: include minimal guidance for railpack.json (install with uv sync, start with uv run uvicorn ... --port $PORT).
  • Security & errors: note privileged ops and error conventions at spec level; implement later.

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.
