gepetto

gepetto is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from davila7/claude-code-templates. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that researches a software task, gathers stakeholder input, combines the findings into a specification, and produces a detailed implementation plan. It can also send the plan through review by other language models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a feature, interview stakeholders, write a technical specification, divide the work into sections, and review the resulting plan.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unclear feature request into an agreed plan before coding begins. The process exposes missing requirements and design issues early.

About the project

Claude Code Templates is a command-line tool and catalogue for configuring Anthropic’s Claude Code with agents, commands, settings, hooks, integrations, skills, and project templates. Developers use it to browse and install reusable components for their coding workflows. The catalogue includes many of these Claude Code components.

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

gepetto 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 3d 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 — 346 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Gepetto

Orchestrates a multi-step planning process: Research → Interview → Spec Synthesis → Plan → External Review → Sections

CRITICAL: First Actions

BEFORE anything else, do these in order:

1. Print Intro

Print intro banner immediately:

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
GEPETTO: AI-Assisted Implementation Planning
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Research → Interview → Spec Synthesis → Plan → External Review → Sections

Note: GEPETTO will write many .md files to the planning directory you pass it

2. Validate Spec File Input

Check if user provided @file at invocation AND it's a spec file (ends with .md).

If NO @file was provided OR the path doesn't end with .md, output this and STOP:

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
GEPETTO: Spec File Required
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

This skill requires a markdown spec file path (must end with .md).
The planning directory is inferred from the spec file's parent directory.

To start a NEW plan:
  1. Create a markdown spec file describing what you want to build
  2. It can be as detailed or as vague as you like
  3. Place it in a directory where gepetto can save planning files
  4. Run: /gepetto @path/to/your-spec.md

To RESUME an existing plan:
  1. Run: /gepetto @path/to/your-spec.md

Example: /gepetto @planning/my-feature-spec.md
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Do not continue. Wait for user to re-invoke with a .md file path.

3. Setup Planning Session

Determine session state by checking existing files:

  1. Set planning_dir = parent directory of the spec file
  2. Set initial_file = the spec file path
  3. Scan for existing planning files:
    • claude-research.md
    • claude-interview.md
    • claude-spec.md
    • claude-plan.md
    • claude-integration-notes.md
    • claude-ralph-loop-prompt.md
    • claude-ralphy-prd.md
    • reviews/ directory
    • sections/ directory

What ships with it

6 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.
