project-planner

project-planner is a skill for Claude Code from Data-Wise/craft. It costs 74 tokens per session (720 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-planning adviser that helps think through features, effort, risks, dependencies, milestones, and delivery capacity. It gives guidance rather than creating a committed backlog or roadmap file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to frame user stories, break down work, define testable acceptance criteria, estimate effort, scope an initial version, and plan milestones.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad idea into manageable work and make estimates and delivery risks easier to reason about before committing to a plan.

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

project-planner 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 1mo 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.

Project Planner Skill

Expert in project planning, estimation, and delivery management.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Planning new features or projects (strategy, not the artifact itself)
  • Thinking through how to approach complex work
  • Estimating effort and timelines
  • Managing project risks
  • Advising on roadmap and milestone strategy (not generating the roadmap file — see plan-orchestrator)

Capabilities

Advisory only — this skill talks through an approach, it never emits the file/backlog itself. Hand off to plan-orchestrator the moment "advice" becomes "produce the doc."

Feature Planning Strategy

  • How to approach user-story framing
  • How to think about task breakdown (WBS) before committing one to paper
  • How to reason about dependency ordering
  • What makes acceptance criteria testable
  • How to scope an MVP vs. full build

Estimation Coaching

  • Effort estimation techniques and their trade-offs
  • How to assess complexity honestly
  • Risk-adjusted timeline reasoning
  • Capacity-planning approaches
  • Reading velocity trends

Delivery Management Advice

  • Sprint-planning approach and capacity trade-offs
  • Milestone-definition strategy
  • How to track progress without false precision
  • Risk identification frameworks
  • Stakeholder-communication approach

Agile Coaching

  • Scrum ceremony facilitation advice
  • Kanban workflow design
  • Backlog-grooming approach
  • Retrospective facilitation technique
  • Continuous-improvement framing

Example Prompts

"What's a reasonable approach to breaking down this feature?"
"What should we prioritize for the next sprint?"
"What's a sound roadmap strategy for our Q1 goals?"
"What are the risks in this project plan?"
"How should we estimate this complex feature?"

What This Skill Gives You

Conversational advice and reasoning, not a file:

  • A recommended approach to breaking down a feature
  • A recommended sprint-capacity strategy
  • A recommended roadmap/milestone strategy
  • A risk assessment talked through in conversation
  • Milestone-definition guidance

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.
