arn-infra-change-plan

arn-infra-change-plan is a skill for Claude Code from AppsVortex/arness. It costs 105 tokens per session (2,435 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An infrastructure change planner that turns a change specification into an ordered implementation plan. The plan accounts for dependencies, risk, rollback points, and movement between environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan changes to cloud resources and other infrastructure before execution.
Why use it?
It makes complex infrastructure changes easier to review and carry out in a safe order before anyone applies them.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

arn-infra-change-plan scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Arness Infra Change Plan

Generate a phased implementation plan from an infrastructure change specification by invoking the arn-infra-change-planner agent. The plan is written to disk as a PLAN_PREVIEW file, presented to the user for review, and iteratively refined based on feedback until approved. The approved plan then feeds into /arn-infra-save-plan for structuring into phases, tasks, and reports.

This skill plans in infrastructure terms -- phases are ordered by provisioning dependency, blast radius classification, rollback checkpoint placement, and environment promotion gates -- not by application development concepts.

Pipeline position: arn-infra-init -> arn-infra-change-spec -> [arn-infra-change-plan] -> arn-infra-save-plan -> arn-infra-execute-change -> arn-infra-review-change -> arn-infra-document-change

Prerequisites

Read ## Arness from the project's CLAUDE.md. If no ## Arness section exists or Arness Infra fields are missing, inform the user: "Arness Infra is not configured for this project yet. Run /arn-infra-wizard to get started — it will set everything up automatically." Do not proceed without it.

Check the Deferred field. If Deferred: yes, inform the user: "Infrastructure is in deferred mode. Change planning is not available until infrastructure is fully configured. Run /arn-infra-assess to un-defer." Stop.

Extract:

  • Infra specs directory -- path where INFRA_CHANGE_*.md specs are stored (default: .arness/infra-specs)
  • Infra plans directory -- path where plans are stored (default: .arness/infra-plans)
  • Experience level -- derived from user profile. Read ~/.arness/user-profile.yaml (or .claude/arness-profile.local.md if it exists — project override takes precedence). Apply the experience derivation mapping from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/arn-infra-ensure-config/references/experience-derivation.md. If no profile exists, check for legacy Experience level in ## Arness as fallback.
  • Providers -- which cloud providers are configured
  • Environments -- which environments exist and their promotion order

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.

arn-infra-change-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository AppsVortex/arness (33 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 2,435 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks the agent to reveal its instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-25.
