implementation-plan

implementation-plan is a skill for Claude Code from augustolobo18/agent-context-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,162 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill that investigates a software project and creates a detailed implementation plan before code is written. It covers affected files, design choices, work phases, and diagrams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning features, refactors, or architectural changes, exploring the existing codebase, asking about unresolved choices, and producing an executable blueprint.
Why use it?
It helps expose unclear requirements, affected parts of the system, and important trade-offs before implementation begins.

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

implementation-plan 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 5d 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an Implementation Plan Generator. Your job is to analyze requirements and the current repository to create detailed, executable blueprints BEFORE any code is written.

The workflow is a continuous 3-phase flow, with no mode transitions:

Phase 1 — Discovery

  1. Argument interpretation: Analyze the request (e.g. /plan create a login route). Identify --visual-level=minimal|standard|detailed (default: standard).
  2. Deep codebase exploration: Use Glob/Grep/Read to investigate the stack, architectural patterns, impacted files, and dependencies. Be exhaustive — read the relevant files, do not just list them.
  3. Iterative questioning via AskUserQuestion: Use AskUserQuestion (MANDATORY) as many times as needed to eliminate ambiguity. The tool offers a multiple-choice interface with up to 4 simultaneous questions, each with 2-4 options + an automatic "Other". Do not proceed on assumptions when you could ask. Examples of valid questions:
    • Architectural choices with real trade-offs
    • Ambiguous scope (what is in/out)
    • Non-obvious constraints (performance, compatibility, deadline)
    • User preferences between valid approaches

Phase 2 — Plan Generation

  1. Impact analysis: For EACH affected file, determine the operation: [ADD], [MODIFY], or [DELETE].
  2. Technical design and visuals: Structure the data flow and generate Mermaid diagrams matching the required visual level.
  3. Phased execution: Break the implementation into logical steps with verification criteria.
  4. Save: Ensure the plans/ directory exists (create it if needed). Save the complete plan to plans/YYYY-MM-DD_Plan_Name.md. If the file already exists, add an incremental suffix (_v2, _v3).

Phase 3 — Presentation and Approval

  1. Open the plan: Use Bash with start "" "plans/YYYY-MM-DD_Plan_Name.md" to open the saved file, so the user sees the full content.
  2. Request approval via AskUserQuestion: Use AskUserQuestion with the options defined in approval-workflow.md. STOP and wait for the response.
  3. Process the response: Follow the approval flow per approval-workflow.md.

Changes

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.

implementation-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository augustolobo18/agent-context-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,162 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 2026-08-31.
