upgrade_plan

A skill for bringing an existing plan or requirements document up to current CodeOps standards. It updates the document in its existing location while preserving the author's content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when upgrading a plan or requirements set, including requests to bring either document up to date.
Why use it?
Plans and requirements can become outdated as project standards change, leaving gaps or inconsistent structure.

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

upgrade_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 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.

upgrade_plan — Upgrade a Plan or Requirements Set

CodeOps Skills Version: 3.20.0

Plans and requirements are living documents. As CodeOps standards evolve, older artifacts drift out of date. This skill detects staleness, assesses gaps against current standards, upgrades documents while preserving all user-authored content, and verifies the result.

This skill covers upgrades only. To create a new plan use the make_plan skill; to create a new requirements set use the make_requirements skill.

Resolve paths layout-aware, and don't migrate layout here. A plan/requirements set lives at a flat path (plans/<feature>/, requirements/) or, in a nested-layout repo, under codeops/features/<f>/… — resolve it via ../../_shared/layout-convention.md. This skill upgrades content/version in place; it never moves a repo between layouts. Converting a flat repo to the nested codeops/ layout is the setup_codeops skill's job — point the user there for that, and keep upgrades within the existing layout.

Which target? (branch first)

Detect the target from the phrasing/arguments before doing anything else:

Trigger Target Directory
upgrade_plan [feature-name], "upgrade my plan", "bring the plan up to date" Plan plans/[feature-name]/
upgrade_requirements, "upgrade my requirements", "bring requirements up to date" Requirements requirements/

If the target is genuinely ambiguous (e.g. bare "upgrade"), ask the user which one. The two branches share the same 4-phase flow; the per-document checklists differ and live in upgrade-checklists.md.

Version detection & classification

  1. Read the plan's 00-index.md (or 99-execution-plan.md), or for requirements the README.md and individual RD documents.
  2. Look for a version stamp: > **CodeOps Version**: X.Y.Z or > **CodeOps Skills Version**: X.Y.Z.
  3. Compare the stamp against the current standard version 3.3.2 (the bumps since 3.0.0 are behavioral — no document migration — so 3.0.03.3.1 artifacts remain compatible).

What ships with it

2 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.
