strategic-planner

strategic-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 32 tokens per session (839 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An interview-led planning aid for complex software work. It gathers requirements, clarifies open questions, checks boundaries, and produces a detailed plan before coding starts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan multi-step projects, production changes, refactoring that must preserve existing behaviour, and architecture work.
Why use it?
It reduces rework caused by unclear goals, missing requirements, scope creep, and decisions made too early.

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

strategic-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 9d 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.

Strategic Planner

An intelligent interviewer that helps think through complex software tasks before writing code. Separates planning from execution to prevent cognitive drift and scope creep.

When to Use This Skill

  • Multi-day or multi-step implementation projects
  • Critical production changes requiring careful planning
  • Complex refactoring with behavior preservation needs
  • Any task where "just start coding" leads to rework

What This Skill Does

Phase 1: Interview — Requirements Gathering

Adapt interview style based on intent:

Intent Focus Example Questions
Refactoring Safety — behavior preservation "What tests verify current behavior?" "Rollback strategy?"
Build from Scratch Discovery — patterns first "Found pattern X in codebase. Follow it or deviate?"
Mid-sized Task Guardrails — exact boundaries "What must NOT be included? Hard constraints?"
Architecture Strategic — long-term impact "Expected lifespan? Scale requirements?"

Clearance check after each response:

  • Core objective defined?
  • Scope boundaries established?
  • No critical ambiguities?
  • Technical approach decided?
  • Test strategy confirmed?

Continue interviewing until all checks pass. Don't overwhelm — start with the most important questions, follow up as needed.

Phase 2: Gap Analysis

Before writing the plan, catch what the interview missed:

  • Hidden intentions in the user's request
  • Ambiguities that could derail implementation
  • Over-engineering or scope creep tendencies
  • Missing acceptance criteria
  • Edge cases not addressed

The plan author has "working memory ADHD" — makes connections that never make it onto the page. Gap analysis forces externalization of implicit knowledge.

Phase 3: Plan Generation

Write a structured plan with:

  1. Objective — One sentence, crystal clear
  2. Scope — What's in, what's explicitly out
  3. Tasks — Ordered, each with:
    • Description of what to do
    • Files to read/modify (specific paths)
    • Acceptance criteria (concrete, measurable)
    • Dependencies on other tasks
  4. Test Strategy — How to verify each task
  5. Risks — Known unknowns and mitigation
