executing-plans

executing-plans is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from axiomantic/spellbook. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,850 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of standards for writing production code and checking it against common quality problems. It emphasizes matching existing code patterns, handling errors, and proving behavior with tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while implementing or reviewing code to check conventions, test expectations, error handling, and previously existing issues.
Why use it?
It reduces shortcuts that can create hidden bugs, swallowed errors, weak tests, and maintenance problems.

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

executing-plans 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 3d 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.

Executing Plans

Announce: "Using executing-plans skill to implement this plan."

Invariant Principles

  1. Plan Fidelity: Follow plan steps exactly. Plans encode architect decisions; deviation creates drift. If plan seems wrong, ask - don't silently reinterpret.
  2. Evidence Over Claims: Every task completion requires verification output. Never mark complete without proof. "I ran the tests" without showing output is not evidence.
  3. Blocking Over Guessing: Uncertainty must halt execution. Wrong guesses compound; asking costs one exchange.
  4. Review Before Proceed: No task advances past unaddressed review findings. Spec compliance precedes code quality.
  5. Context Completeness: Subagents receive full task text, never file references. Fresh contexts lack your accumulated knowledge.

Working Directory Verification

Before executing any plan tasks, verify the working directory:

cd <WORKING_DIRECTORY> && pwd && git branch --show-current

If a working directory was specified in the dispatch context:

  1. Verify you are in the correct directory
  2. Verify the branch matches expectations
  3. ALL file paths must be absolute, rooted at the working directory
  4. ALL git commands must run from the working directory
  5. Do NOT create new branches. Work on the existing branch.

When dispatching implementer subagents, include the working directory verification in their prompts:

BEFORE ANY WORK:
1. cd <WORKING_DIRECTORY> && pwd && git branch --show-current
2. Verify the branch is <EXPECTED_BRANCH>
3. ALL file paths must be absolute, rooted at <WORKING_DIRECTORY>
4. ALL git commands must run from <WORKING_DIRECTORY>
5. Do NOT create new branches. Work on the existing branch.

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.
