principle-plan-present-wait

principle-plan-present-wait is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bostonaholic/team. It costs 24 tokens per session (198 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for handling changes that need approval. The planned mutations are written down, each important choice has one recommendation, and only approved items are executed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for code edits, data changes, deployments, configuration updates, or other mutations that require user approval.
Why use it?
It separates deciding from doing, so the exact changes and their blast radius can be reviewed before anything is modified. Unanswered items remain unchanged.

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

principle-plan-present-wait 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.

What it actually says

Plan, Present, Wait

Write mutation plans before presenting one question and one recommendation per consequential choice; Nothing changes before the user answers, and no answer means no mutation outside the verified-confidence carve-out.

  • Keep ask and act in separate turns; execute only answered items from partial answers.
  • Persist plans that may survive a turn or compaction, then re-read them before execution; use conversation lists only for same-session punch lists.
  • Present irreversible mutations as exact output text, one consequential choice per question.
  • Approve reversible classes only with stated undo; name every target and its evidence.
  • Re-validate each step against the approved class; approval never relaxes hard rules.
  • Skip waiting only above a verified confidence bar and within every hard rule; always present below-bar or carve-out items.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
