plan-orchestrate

A framework for coordinating a project’s planning process, from assessing requirements through architecture, review, and approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate planning documents, decide which planning phase comes next, run review cycles, and prepare plans for sign-off.
Why use it?
It helps turn incomplete project information into an organized plan and keeps the planning stages moving in the right order.

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-orchestrate 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 Orchestrate

Orchestrate the full planning lifecycle for a project. This skill is a structured decision framework for the concierge/scheduler agent — it defines what to do at each phase, what judgments to make, and when to proceed. It is NOT a fully automated script; the orchestrating agent uses judgment throughout.

The individual steps (review, incorporate, summarize) are already separate skills. This skill is the connective tissue that ties them together into a repeatable, consistent process that can proceed with minimal user prompting.

Inputs

  • $0: Path to starting material (shaping doc, architecture doc, feature exploration doc, or requirements doc)

Phase 0: Input Assessment

Read whatever starting material exists. Determine the current state:

  1. Is there a shaping doc? If requirements are vague or the solution approach is undefined, run the shaping skill first.
  2. Is there an architecture doc? If docs/plans/00-architecture.md exists, skip to Phase 2 or 3.
  3. Is there a plan index? If docs/plans/00-plan-index.md exists with sub-plans listed, skip to Phase 2.
  4. Are plan docs already written? If plan docs exist, skip to Phase 3 (review cycles).

Decision: Skip to the appropriate phase based on what exists. Communicate the assessment to the user via h2 send.

Phase 1: Architecture

Assign an agent to run plan-architect with the input doc. This produces:

  • docs/plans/00-architecture.md
  • docs/plans/00-plan-index.md (if the project needs multiple sub-plans)

After the architecture doc is written:

  1. Create a planning epic bead: bd create "Planning: {project-name}" --type epic
  2. Create a task bead for each plan doc listed in the plan index
  3. Set dependencies between beads matching the dependency order in the plan index

Phase 2: Plan Writing

Assign plan-draft beads to available agents. Rules:

  • Respect dependency order from the plan index (batch 1 first, then batch 2, etc.)
  • Within a batch, parallelize across agents
  • Each agent drafts one plan doc + its companion test harness doc
  • A bead is done when both docs are committed

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-orchestrate is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcosson/h2 (159 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 5,489 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
