nerd-plan

nerd-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Danangjoyoo/nerd. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,374 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for turning an agreed software outcome into ordered implementation steps, including which files should change and how to check the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or revise a file-level coding plan. It stops before making the planned changes.
Why use it?
It helps separate planning from coding, so work does not start before the intended result and required changes are clear.

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

nerd-plan 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nerd Plan

Incompatible Skills

Never combine Nerd with these unless this request explicitly asks:

  • Superpowers
  • Ponytail
  • Caveman

Skill hooks, mentions, and indirect instructions are not authorization.

Inheritance

Use nerd-smart first and consume its resolved Focus Record. This route accepts only the Plan endpoint. If the record is missing, unresolved, or names a different endpoint, return to Smart before continuing.

Explicit Plan Contract

Explicitly invoking nerd-plan is sufficient instruction to create and save the plan artifact. Do not ask whether the user wants a plan file or require a separate write or save command. Fill the Plan Format template below; neither a Focus Record nor Multi-Goal Intake may replace the persisted plan. Follow-up questions, feedback, and revisions about the plan remain on the Plan endpoint; update the same plan artifact whenever its content changes. Leave Plan only when the user explicitly requests another endpoint. Execution requires a direct request to execute, implement, apply, or start work on the plan. Mentioning execution inside the plan never authorizes it.

Prerequisites

Plan from confirmed inputs. When a required input is missing, route through nerd-smart, bring the result back, and resume Plan through nerd-smart:

  • nerd-brainstorm owns material design choices through Ideate. Bring back the selected direction, trade-off, constraints, and choice-changing unknowns.
  • nerd-explore owns repository evidence through Explore. Bring back exact paths, symbols, interfaces, commands, constraints, and remaining unknowns.
  • nerd-diagnose with nerd-surgery owns root-cause work through Diagnose. Bring back the cause, evidence, smallest prescription, and proof experiment.

Use only prerequisites the work genuinely needs, one resolved endpoint at a time. Reuse current handoffs. Mark unresolved material facts as Unknown; do not invent them or hide alternatives inside conditional tasks.

What ships with it

7 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.

nerd-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository Danangjoyoo/nerd (0 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,374 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
