plan-orchestrator

A planning tool that turns specifications and feature requests into implementation plans, task breakdowns, sprint backlogs, roadmap files, or visual roadmaps. A sprint is a short, planned period of development work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate ORCHESTRATE files, break features into tasks with estimates, plan sprints, and create roadmap artifacts.
Why use it?
It converts broad requirements into concrete planning documents and ordered tasks that a team can use to organize implementation.

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-orchestrator 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.

Plan Orchestrator Skill

Produces concrete planning artifacts from specs and feature requests. Where project-planner advises on strategy ("how should we estimate?"), this skill emits files and structured backlogs ready to drive implementation: ORCHESTRATE-<topic>.md, feature task trees, sprint commitments, and visual roadmaps.

When to Use

Activate when the user wants a deliverable (file, backlog, milestone list), not just guidance:

  • "Generate ORCHESTRATE from docs/specs/SPEC-auth-*.md"
  • "Break this feature into tasks with estimates"
  • "Plan next sprint, 80 hours capacity"
  • "Generate a 6-month roadmap as mermaid"
  • "Turn this brainstorm into a planning doc"

Do not use for: routing a single task to a command (use task-analyzer), saving session state (use session-state), or general "how do I plan?" advice (use project-planner).

Differentiation Map

Need Skill
"What command should I run for X?" task-analyzer
"Save / resume my orchestrator session" session-state
"Coach me on estimation / agile practices" project-planner
"Generate the actual plan file" plan-orchestrator (this)

Four Planning Modes

This skill consolidates four commands. The user's phrasing selects the mode:

1. Spec → ORCHESTRATE (orchestrate:plan)

Trigger: spec file mentioned, or "implementation plan from SPEC".

Flow:

  1. Discover specs in docs/specs/SPEC-*.md (and BRAINSTORM-*.md lacking specs).
  2. Parse selected spec: title, phases/increments, acceptance criteria, key files, cross-repo references.
  3. Detect cross-repo work (paths under ~/projects/<other>/); enforce same branch name across repos.
  4. Confirm plan with user (ORCHESTRATE+worktree / ORCHESTRATE-only / modify / cancel).
  5. Generate ORCHESTRATE-<topic>.md with sections: Objective, Phase Overview, Phase 1..N, Friction Prevention, Acceptance Criteria, Commit Strategy, Verification, Session Instructions.
  6. Create worktree at ~/.git-worktrees/<project>/feature-<topic> from dev if selected.
  7. Update .STATUS and .gitignore.
  8. Branch on output:
    • orchestrate-worktree (default) or orchestrate-only → instruct the user to cd into the worktree and start a new session — do NOT begin implementation (STOP-new-session mode).
    • orchestrate-dispatch → skip the STOP instruction; instead run the confirm-before-dispatch gate (below), then dispatch a background Agent call from this same live session. See "orchestrate-dispatch mode" below for the full flow.

plan-orchestrator is a skill published in the GitHub repository Data-Wise/craft (4 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 138 tokens to every session and 4,338 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
