ss-plan

ss-plan is a skill for Codex from bonnguyenitc/specship. It costs 86 tokens per session (2,274 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide that turns a confirmed feature description into an ordered implementation plan before coding begins. The plan names files, steps, checks, tradeoffs, and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a feature into coding tasks, choose between implementation approaches, identify files to change, and record unresolved blockers.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of starting with an unclear approach or missing important work. Each step can be checked independently as the feature is built.

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

ss-plan scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Plan

Goal: turn an understood spec into a concrete, ordered implementation plan — small steps, each independently verifiable — before any code is written.

When to use

  • The spec is understood (ideally via the ss-spec skill) and you're ready to design.
  • You're asked to break a feature into steps or weigh implementation approaches.
  • Second stage of the workflow: spec → plan → coding → review (+ debug).

Shared task state

Part of the task pipeline — see ../WORKFLOW.md for the full contract.

  • Hydrate: resolve the active TASK-<ID>, read tasks/TASK-<ID>/task.md + spec.md, plus docs/onboarding/{source-structure,how-to-code}.md if present. If spec.md is missing or status: draft with open blockers, run ss-spec first.
  • Checkpoint: write plan.md, then update task.md — set stage: plan, plan artifact draftapproved, bump updated:, append a Pipeline Log line carrying your agent label (format: ../WORKFLOW.md → Agent handoff).
  • Blocked? If planning can't be finalized because of an unresolved blocker Q# or an external dependency (an API/data/decision the plan hinges on), set status: blocked, note it in Blocked by:, and log it; flip back to active when it clears. blocked is involuntary — to set the task aside by choice, use ss-pause-task. See ../WORKFLOW.md → Status values.
  • Lessons: read tasks/LESSONS.md at hydrate and apply its rules; if you detect a process mistake, fix it and append an L# entry there (see ../WORKFLOW.md → Lessons).

Method

1. Read the inputs

  • Read tasks/TASK-<ID>/spec.md (produced by ss-spec) — every step must trace to a requirement or acceptance criterion in it, and its Assumptions can decide the design, so read them too. If it's missing, run ss-spec first.
  • Know where the code will live and the patterns to follow: reuse docs/onboarding/source-structure.md and how-to-code.md if present, or run ss-explore-source if the project is unfamiliar.
  • Open the actual files the plan will touch — confirm the functions, signatures, and patterns the steps rely on really exist as you believe. A plan referencing imagined code doesn't fail now; it fails at coding, where it's more expensive.
  • Delegate wide reads to a subagent. If confirming the plan's assumptions requires broad exploration (an unfamiliar area, many candidate files), spawn the ss-explorer agent if your platform can spawn it (ships with specship for Claude Code), else the built-in Explore agent, for the fan-out and keep only its conclusions in this thread - but still open the specific files the steps touch yourself, and verify any path or symbol an agent reports before the plan relies on it. If your platform can't spawn subagents, do the exploration inline in this thread instead (../WORKFLOW.md → In-stage subagents: delegation is an optimization, never a precondition).

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.
