context-engineering-planner

context-engineering-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 45ck/skill-harness. It costs 30 tokens per session (271 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for deciding what information an agent needs during a workflow or long task. It separates lasting project sources, temporary work notes, test evidence, and reusable memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan an agent's source files, issue context, tests, logs, retrieval rules, summaries, memory, and refresh checks.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from relying on one large, confusing prompt or stale recollections. It makes clear what to retrieve, summarize, store, or leave out.

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

context-engineering-planner 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 1mo 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

Context Engineering Planner

Use this skill when an agent workflow needs deliberate context design instead of a large undifferentiated prompt.

Plan

  • Identify the decision the agent must make and the evidence it needs.
  • Split context into durable source, transient working context, generated evidence, and memory candidates.
  • Prefer repo files, issues, manifests, tests, traces, and docs over prose recollection.
  • Define what may be retrieved automatically and what must be explicitly requested.
  • Define what should be compressed, summarized, or excluded.
  • Name stale-context risks and refresh checks.

Context Classes

  • source: canonical specs, code, issues, policies, manifests
  • evidence: tests, logs, screenshots, traces, evaluation results
  • memory: reusable lessons worth recording with the project memory mechanism
  • working: temporary notes used only for the current run
  • excluded: secrets, private data, raw traces, irrelevant history, stale generated output

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.
