A planning approach that breaks significant work into small vertical slices, where each slice delivers a complete part of the change. It can also plan a program that reduces system mechanisms and organise the work as independent or stacked pull requests.

Use it to turn already-split stories or new significant work into implementation plans. It helps order slices across one or more repositories and choose an independent or stacked pull-request structure.

It makes large changes easier to implement, review, and validate incrementally. A stacked pull request is a sequence where each change builds on the previous one.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00160	$0.05890
Opus 5.5	$0.00064	$0.02356
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00032	$0.01178
Haiku 4.5	$0.00016	$0.00589

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2mo 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
