writing-plans

writing-plans is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Abruptive/Ankh.md. It costs 35 tokens per session (156 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A detailed implementation plan that breaks a multi-step software task into small actions, with file paths, code examples, and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementing a larger change to define the exact edits, testing commands, verification steps, and rollback approach.
Why use it?
It turns a specification or set of requirements into instructions that another developer can follow without already knowing the project.

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

writing-plans 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.

What it actually says

Writing Implementation Plans

Write comprehensive implementation plans assuming the implementer has zero context. Document everything: which files to touch, complete code, testing commands, how to verify.

Bite-sized tasks

Each task = 2-5 minutes of focused work. One action per step.

Format

  • Summary
  • Prerequisites
  • Task 1: [action] – [expected outcome]
  • Task 2: ...
  • Verification steps
  • Rollback if needed
Changes

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.
