ade-planning

ade-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alexsds/ade-workflow. It costs 115 tokens per session (2,461 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning workflow for software tasks, from small bug fixes to full applications, that adjusts its questions and plan to the size of the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan apps, features, integrations, refactors, bug fixes, and other work that benefits from thinking before implementation.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that an early planning mistake will spread through the implementation and helps clarify missing context before coding begins.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

ade-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 4d 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.

ADE Planning

Overview

Planning before building — scaled to the scope of the work. Anthropic's research found that a single error in technical planning cascades through every level of implementation. The planner stays at the deliverable level (what, not how) and lets the Generator figure out implementation.

The planner is interactive. It researches context, asks targeted questions with suggested answers, and writes a plan whose depth matches the scope of the work.

Step 0: Assess Scope

Read the user's request and assess scope. This determines how deep the planning process goes.

Large — Full application, multi-feature project, new product

  • Examples: "build me a task management app", "create a SaaS dashboard", "I want to build a marketplace"
  • Full planning flow: research → 3-5+ questions → possibly propose approaches → phased plan with user stories

Medium — New feature, significant change, integration

  • Examples: "add a notification system", "integrate Stripe payments", "build a settings page"
  • Moderate flow: codebase research → 1-3 questions → focused plan with deliverables

Small — Bug fix, task, refactor, minor change

  • Examples: "fix the login bug", "refactor the auth module", "our API is too slow", "add dark mode toggle"
  • Light flow: quick codebase research → 0-1 questions → short plan with acceptance criteria

The scope determines how many questions to ask, how deep to research, and how detailed the plan is. Don't run a full product planning cycle for a bug fix. Don't write a one-liner plan for a new app.

Step 1: Check Project Context

Before asking any questions:

  1. Read .claude/ade.local.md if it exists — note commit style
  2. Check if .ade/ exists. If not, run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/init-project.sh
  3. If commits_style: jira, ask the user for the Jira ticket number
  4. Check .ade/docs/plans/ for prior plans — understand what has been built before
  5. Check .ade/docs/archive/ for completed plans — understand project history

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.
