capacity-planning

capacity-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 30 tokens per session (670 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to estimating how much work a team can take on and assigning people across projects. It accounts for available working time, meetings, training, support, absences, and other interruptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quarterly or annual planning, project assignments, sprint commitments, holiday planning, team-size decisions, workload balancing, and finding bottlenecks.
Why use it?
Planned work often exceeds the time people actually have, causing missed commitments or burnout. Capacity planning makes workload limits and staffing needs more visible.

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

capacity-planning 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 13d 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.

Capacity Planning

Table of Contents

Overview

Capacity planning ensures teams have sufficient resources to deliver work at sustainable pace, prevents burnout, and enables accurate commitment to stakeholders.

When to Use

  • Annual or quarterly planning cycles
  • Allocating people to projects
  • Adjusting team size
  • Planning for holidays and absences
  • Forecasting resource needs
  • Balancing multiple projects
  • Identifying bottlenecks

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Team capacity calculation and planning

class CapacityPlanner:
    # Standard work hours per week
    STANDARD_WEEK_HOURS = 40

    # Activities that reduce available capacity
    OVERHEAD_HOURS = {
        'meetings': 5,           # standups, 1-on-1s, planning
        'training': 2,           # learning new tech
        'administrative': 2,     # emails, approvals
        'support': 2,            # helping teammates
        'contingency': 2         # interruptions, emergencies
    }

    def __init__(self, team_size, sprint_duration_weeks=2):
        self.team_size = team_size
        self.sprint_duration_weeks = sprint_duration_weeks
        self.members = []

    def calculate_team_capacity(self):
        """Calculate available capacity hours"""
        # Base capacity
        base_hours = self.team_size * self.STANDARD_WEEK_HOURS * self.sprint_duration_weeks

// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

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.
