deepworkplan

A router and methodology for preparing repositories for coding agents and managing multi-step work plans. It covers repository onboarding, planning, execution, refinement, resuming, status checks, and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when making a repository AI-ready or when creating, running, refining, resuming, checking, or verifying a structured work plan.
Why use it?
It provides shared project context, guardrails, and durable plan files so agents can handle longer tasks consistently across sessions.

Getting it into your agent

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

deepworkplan 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to visual-excellence — 194 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

DeepWorkPlan — Methodology Skill (Router)

Models matter; context matters more. The DeepWorkPlan skill turns any repository into a structured environment — context, guardrails, and a durable plan — where any coding agent executes reliably on long-horizon work. It makes the repository "AI-first" — AGENTS.md + docs/ + per-module docs + .agents/ (with the .claude → .agents and .cursor → .agents symlinks) — and runs structured Deep Work Plans: multi-task plans an AI agent drafts, refines, executes task-by-task, and resumes. All plan and draft outputs land in a gitignored .dwp/ directory at the repo root (.dwp/plans/, .dwp/drafts/).

Start here (first run)

This skill is a self-sufficient entry point: whether a developer arrives from https://deepworkplan.com/init.md or simply installs this skill, the setup plan is the same — and it lives here, so no network is required.

If the repository is not yet AI-first — there is no root AGENTS.md and no .agents/ directory — the recommended first action is to onboard it, even if the developer's request was vague ("set this up", "make this repo AI-first", or a plain install). Before routing anywhere else:

  1. Read the standard locally. Read spec/ (five RFC-2119 documents) and shared/adaptation.md. The overriding rule is REASON, do not copy-paste: this skill is the reusable engine; what you produce must be adapted to this repository, never templated.
  2. Run onboarding. Read onboard/SKILL.md and execute it. It is non-destructive: detect existing AGENTS.md, docs/, .agents/, or CLAUDE.md, reconcile rather than overwrite, and ask the developer before replacing anything. The result: AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md symlink, a reasoned docs/ tree, per-module docs, a .agents/ kit, and a gitignored .dwp/ — the repository becomes the agent harness.
  3. Verify conformance. Read verify/SKILL.md and run it to confirm, objectively, that the repository now meets the standard (AGENTS.md with real commands, the .agents/ catalog, the gitignored .dwp/, and so on).
  4. Then plan and execute. With the harness in place, create and execute Deep Work Plans (below) — long-horizon, gated, resumable work an agent can run autonomously for hours.

What ships with it

60 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.

deepworkplan is a skill published in the GitHub repository DailybotHQ/deepworkplan-skill (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 1,659 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to visual-excellence, differing in 194 lines, and is treated as a copy.
