project-planner

project-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chriscox/agent-skills. It costs 131 tokens per session (1,842 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-aware guide for turning an idea, feature request, or software problem into the right project document. It can choose between a proposal, feature issue, or bug report after checking the repository's templates and documentation structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage ideas and bugs, discover repository templates and documentation rules, draft proposals, and prepare feature or bug issues for GitHub.
Why use it?
It prevents requests from being filed in the wrong format or without following the project's existing conventions. It also helps capture enough detail for others to act on the request.

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

project-planner 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 6d 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 — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Planner

Prerequisites

  • git
  • gh (GitHub CLI, authenticated via gh auth login)

Triage user input into the right project artifact: a proposal (big idea with phases), a feature issue (small enhancement), or a bug report (something's broken).

Repo Discovery

Before doing anything, discover the current repo's configuration:

  1. Run git rev-parse --show-toplevel to find the repo root
  2. Check for .project-planner.yml at the repo root — if it exists, read it and use its values for all paths, labels, and conventions
  3. If no config file, fall back to auto-discovery:
    • Proposal template: look for docs/proposals/TEMPLATE.md
    • Issue templates: look in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/
    • Docs directory: look for docs/, mkdocs.yml
    • If nothing found, use the fallback formats bundled with the skill
  4. If the repo has CLAUDE.md or CONTRIBUTING.md, read for conventions
  5. Run gh repo view --json name,owner to confirm the repo for issue creation

Config File: .project-planner.yml

Optional config file at repo root. All fields are optional — auto-discovery fills gaps. See project-planner.yml in the skill directory for a copy-paste starter.

project: MyProject                    # project name (for issue titles)
repo: owner/repo                      # GitHub repo (usually auto-detected)

proposals:
  dir: docs/proposals                 # where proposal docs live
  template: docs/proposals/TEMPLATE.md # proposal template to follow
  index: docs/proposals/index.md      # index file to update with new proposals
  mkdocs_nav: true                    # update mkdocs.yml nav when creating proposals

issues:
  labels:
    feature: enhancement              # label for feature issues
    bug: bug                          # label for bug issues
  # branch_prefix: feature/           # branch naming prefix

# conventions:
#   docs: docs                        # where project docs live

Triage Rules

Determine the type by asking: does this need design work or multiple phases?

Files

What ships with it

4 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.
