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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00197 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00098 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00039 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00020 |
Grade A, and why
xiigen-plan-before-execution 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 9d 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
Plan Before Execution
Purpose
Create a bounded plan before non-trivial work.
When to Use
Use for multi-file, high-risk, ambiguous, or delegated work.
Inputs
Goal, scope, constraints, source files, risks, verification options.
Steps
- Restate the goal.
- Define in-scope and out-of-scope work.
- Split execution into reviewable phases.
- Attach verification to each risky phase.
Gates
The plan covers the user request, constraints, blockers, and checks.
Evidence
An actionable plan or checklist exists before implementation.
Anti-Patterns
Editing first and discovering scope later; treating a plan as approval.

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.

xiigen-plan-before-execution is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository lubochka/xiigen-general-skills (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 197 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 2026-08-31.
