plannotator-compound

A research report workflow that reviews denied coding plans from Plannotator, a planning tool, or from Claude Code transcripts when Plannotator data is unavailable. It produces an HTML dashboard of patterns and improvements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse denial reasons, track how feedback changes over time, identify common problems, and create a polished dashboard report.
Why use it?
It turns rejected plans and their feedback into recurring themes, a feedback classification, and practical changes to future prompts and planning.

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

plannotator-compound 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/extract_exit_plan_mode_outcomes.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 576 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Compound Planning Analysis

You are conducting a comprehensive research analysis of a user's Plannotator plan archive. The goal: extract patterns from their denied plans, reduce them into actionable insights, and produce an elegant HTML dashboard report.

This is a multi-phase process. Each phase must complete fully before the next begins. Research integrity is paramount — every file must be read, no skipping.

Source Selection

Before starting the analysis, determine which data source is available.

  1. Plannotator mode (first-class) — Determine the Plannotator data directory: use $PLANNOTATOR_DATA_DIR if set, otherwise ~/.plannotator. Check the plans/ subdirectory there. If it exists and contains *-denied.md files, use this mode. The entire workflow below is written for Plannotator data.

  2. Claude Code fallback mode — If the Plannotator archive is absent or contains no denied plans, check ~/.claude/projects/. If present, read references/claude-code-fallback.md before continuing. That reference explains how to use the bundled parser at scripts/extract_exit_plan_mode_outcomes.py to extract denial reasons from Claude Code JSONL transcripts. Every phase below has a short note explaining what changes in fallback mode — the reference file has the details.

  3. Neither available — Ask the user for their Plannotator plans directory or Claude Code projects directory. Do not guess.

Phase 0: Locate Plans & Check for Previous Reports

Use the mode chosen in Source Selection above.

Plannotator mode: Verify the plans directory contains *-denied.md files. If none exist, fall back to Claude Code mode before stopping.

Claude Code fallback mode: Run the bundled parser per the fallback reference to build the denial-reason dataset. Create /tmp/compound-planning/ if needed.

In either mode, proceed to Previous Report Detection below.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
