stelow-workflow-tech-planning

stelow-workflow-tech-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calionauta/stelow. It costs 77 tokens per session (4,127 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical-planning guide used after a product specification has been approved. For software products, it also checks whether an AI-aware testing strategy is needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn an approved product specification into a technical plan, verify approval metadata, and decide whether to include an AI-aware testing phase.
Why use it?
It prevents technical planning from proceeding on an unapproved product definition. It also distinguishes software and hybrid products from services so testing work is included only when relevant.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Tools:** See `../stelow-workflow-orchestrator/references/cli-tools/subagents.md` for subagent patterns, `../stelow-workflow-orchestrator/references/cli-tools/.

Good fit Use it to turn an approved product specification into a technical plan, verify approval metadata, and decide whether to include an AI-aware testing phase.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Agent Snooping · line 86
    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 530
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

stelow-workflow-tech-planning 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 yesterday.

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

Tech Planning Sequencing

Tools: See ../stelow-workflow-orchestrator/references/cli-tools/subagents.md for subagent patterns, ../stelow-workflow-orchestrator/references/cli-tools/goals.md for goal commands.

This skill executes the Tech Planning phase.

How to Load

Via Orchestrator (recommended)

The orchestrator reads this file directly when needed.

Standalone

This skill works standalone. Use the Input Detection section below to tell the skill what technical context to plan from. Follow the instructions inline.

Prerequisites

Security check: Read the YAML frontmatter of spec-product.md:

head -10 spec-product_{v}.md | grep "approved:"
  • approved: true → proceed
  • ❌ No approved: trueGO BACK to Gate stage (visual review visual review). Do not proceed.

This check is deterministic — does not depend on memory.

AI-Aware Testing Check

For software products, also check product_type:

head -10 spec-product_{v}.md | grep "product_type:"
  • product_type: software or product_type: hybrid → activate stelow-workflow-testing-ai-code
  • product_type: service → skip testing strategy

References Index

Read the references/ files to guide the process:

File Covers When to read
references/tech-context.md Tech planning context, prerequisites, workflow position Before starting — sets planning context
references/scopes-and-sequencing.md Scope types (feature/optimization/spike + test-*), executor routing, sequencing principles During generation — defines scope structure
references/tech-output.md Tech plan output format, frontmatter, receipts After generation — formats output
stelow-workflow-coding-standards (skill) Universal coding standards (KISS, DRY, LoB, SoC, Fail Fast, YAGNI) During generation — guides implementation

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.
