plan

plan is a skill for Claude Code from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 74 tokens per session (4,672 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured planning workflow for software tasks. It defines the goal, acceptance checks, small implementation steps, and a final quality gate without writing the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down features, document completion criteria, and prepare an implementation plan for review.
Why use it?
It turns a broad request into clear work that can be checked incrementally before implementation begins.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

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 1mo 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 — 200 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plan

Role: orchestrator. This command creates a structured plan — it does not implement anything.

You have been invoked with the /plan command.

Orchestrator constraints

MUST — confirm agent-dispatch capability before Step 5b (issue #1461). Step 5b below dispatches the five plan-review-* critics as parallel sub-agents. Before that dispatch, you MUST confirm the Agent (or Task) tool is actually present and available in your current toolset. If it is not: STOP. Do not self-apply the plan-review critics' checklists inline as a substitute for independent dispatch, and do not present the plan as reviewed or approved on that basis — a self-certified pass is not a review. Report to the user/operator plainly: plan review cannot run in this environment because no agent-dispatch capability (Agent/Task tool) is available; name exactly what's missing; and state that /plan cannot complete Step 5b, and the plan cannot reach the human approval gate (Step 6), until it is re-run from a session with that capability. This is a hard requirement, not a preference.

  1. Do not implement. Produce only the plan. No code, no scaffolding, no file edits beyond the plan file itself. One narrow carve-out: after approval, derived .feature files are written via the export script plan_gherkin_export.py (step 6) — never before approval, never by hand.
  2. Every step is one behavior with a full cycle. The cadence is Code-First Small Batches — each step follows IMPLEMENT → TEST → REFACTOR (docs/experiments/RECOMMENDATIONS.md Rec 3). The refactor runs in every cycle.
  3. Incremental. Each step must leave the codebase in a working, committable state.
  4. Human approval required. Present the plan for approval before any implementation begins.
  5. Be concise. The plan is the artifact; keep chat to decisions and gaps.
  6. State your approach stance. For any high-reversal-cost axis in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge/decision-defaults.md the task touches (replace-vs-merge, format fidelity, migrate-vs-edit-stub, auto-merge-vs-direct, scope), state the chosen stance explicitly in the plan so it is visible — and correctable — at the human gate.

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.

plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository bdfinst/agentic-dev-team (295 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 4,672 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
