plan-release

A release-index builder that turns already-defined product work into an ordered release plan and detailed epic files. WSJF, or Weighted Shortest Job First, is a way to rank work by value, urgency and effort.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after the feature has been specified and scoped to create release-plan.yaml, epic manifests, story specifications, task checklists and execution-status data.
Why use it?
It provides a shared, versioned view of which epics belong in a release and what each one contains. It does not define a vague problem or replace the earlier work of scoping and writing the feature specification.

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

plan-release 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 — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plan Release

HARD GATE — Do NOT run this skill unless elaborate-spec has produced a clear spec or the user has already defined the feature in detail. If the problem is still fuzzy, run elaborate-spec first. HARD GATEspecs/product/SCOPE_LATEST.yaml (or legacy specs/product/SCOPE_LATEST.yaml) must exist. If missing, run scope-work first.

Synthesize the conversation context into specs/release-plan.yaml (index) and shard detail under specs/epics/. No new interview — only clarify if something is genuinely ambiguous.

Outputs

File Content
specs/release-plan.yaml release.version, semver bump hint, WSJF-ordered epic list with id, capsule_dir, wsjf, bcpsno story status
specs/epics/eNN-<slug>/epic.yaml Epic manifest: id, title, wsjf, total_bcps, status, stories[] list
specs/epics/eNN-<slug>/eNNsYY-<slug>.md Story spec in countable-story-format.md with 20 sections and Gherkin acceptance criteria
specs/epics/eNN-<slug>/eNNsYY-tasks.yaml Decoupled task checklist with verify: commands per task
specs/execution-status.yaml Flat key-value store for story status (eNNsYY: todo)

Epic Capsule Structure

All epics use capsule directories (no flat/folder distinction):

specs/epics/e01-auth-system/
├── epic.yaml              # Epic manifest
├── adr/                   # Epic-local ADRs (created lazily)
├── e01s01-login.md        # Story spec (countable-story-format)
├── e01s01-tasks.yaml      # Decoupled task checklist
├── e01s02-jwt.md          # Story spec
└── e01s02-tasks.yaml      # Decoupled task checklist

Rationale: Capsule dirs achieve change isolation (C9), enable archive pruning (C2/C6), and enforce SRP by decoupling spec .md from execution -tasks.yaml (C1).

Process

1. Draft epics and stories

From the conversation context, define:

  • Epicse01, e02, … (stable IDs; WSJF order in release-plan.yaml only)
  • Storiese01s01, e01s02, … with Gherkin acceptance criteria

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.

plan-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielvm-git/bigpowers (156 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 1,679 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
