ape-plan-project

ape-plan-project is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arpitbbhayani/ape-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (3,319 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill that turns a product or engineering specification into ordered phases, with a separate implementation-ready document for each phase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split a project into independent working milestones, describe each vertical slice, and document assumptions and existing code references.
Why use it?
It removes unresolved design choices before work is handed to a coding agent.

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

ape-plan-project 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 287 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phased Spec Decomposition

Take one product + engineering spec and turn it into an ordered sequence of phases, each with its own standalone design document. The output is meant to be handed to a coding agent one phase at a time -- every document must be implementable on its own, with no unresolved questions.

North star: every phase document should leave zero design decisions for the implementer. Not "an agent probably wouldn't need to ask a question" -- an agent literally cannot make a different reasonable choice than the one the document specifies, because every choice is already made and written down.

Input

Accept a PRD, an engineering design doc, a combined spec, or rough notes that mix product intent with technical detail. If the input only covers product intent, infer a reasonable engineering approach and mark it as an assumption. If it only covers engineering, infer the product framing (who benefits, what they can now do) for each phase.

Verify Before Writing

If a codebase is available, read it before writing any engineering content. Cite what exists today with path:line, not from memory or from what the spec assumes. A phase document that describes "current state" without having read the current state is a guess, not a spec. If no codebase exists yet (greenfield), say so explicitly and proceed on the spec alone.

For each phase, note what already exists that the phase can reuse -- an existing service, table, endpoint, or library that solves part of the problem. Never let a phase rebuild something the codebase already has.

Tech Stack Choices

Brownfield (existing codebase): the stack is not a decision to make -- it's whatever Verify Before Writing found. Match the existing language, framework, database, and libraries. Introducing a new one requires a stated reason (the existing stack genuinely cannot do what this phase needs), never preference or unfamiliarity with what's there.

Greenfield (no codebase yet): Phase 1's document must pin the full stack once -- language, framework, database, hosting/deploy target, and any non-trivial third-party library -- each with a one-line rationale. Every later phase inherits this silently as a given; never re-open or re-litigate the stack in a later phase's document.

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.

ape-plan-project is a skill published in the GitHub repository arpitbbhayani/ape-skills (38 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 3,319 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
