planning-and-task-breakdown

planning-and-task-breakdown is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Djtony707/TITAN. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,651 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of planning-and-task-breakdown, MIT.

A skill for splitting a large software task into ordered, verifiable implementation tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Breaking down specifications, estimating work, identifying tasks that can run in parallel, and defining acceptance criteria for each task.
Why use it?
It clarifies scope, dependencies, risks, and completion checks before coding begins, especially when the work is too broad to tackle as one step.

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

planning-and-task-breakdown 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 11d 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.

Planning and Task Breakdown

Overview

Decompose work into small, verifiable tasks with explicit acceptance criteria. Good task breakdown is the difference between an agent that completes work reliably and one that produces a tangled mess. Every task should be small enough to implement, test, and verify in a single focused session.

When to Use

  • You have a spec and need to break it into implementable units
  • A task feels too large or vague to start
  • Work needs to be parallelized across multiple agents or sessions
  • You need to communicate scope to a human
  • The implementation order isn't obvious

When NOT to use: Single-file changes with obvious scope, or when the spec already contains well-defined tasks.

The Planning Process

Step 1: Enter Plan Mode

Before writing any code, operate in read-only mode:

  • Read the spec and relevant codebase sections
  • Identify existing patterns and conventions
  • Map dependencies between components
  • Note risks and unknowns

Do NOT write code during planning. The output is a plan document, not implementation.

Step 2: Identify the Dependency Graph

Map what depends on what:

Database schema
    │
    ├── API models/types
    │       │
    │       ├── API endpoints
    │       │       │
    │       │       └── Frontend API client
    │       │               │
    │       │               └── UI components
    │       │
    │       └── Validation logic
    │
    └── Seed data / migrations

Implementation order follows the dependency graph bottom-up: build foundations first.

Step 3: Slice Vertically

Instead of building all the database, then all the API, then all the UI — build one complete feature path at a time:

Bad (horizontal slicing):

Task 1: Build entire database schema
Task 2: Build all API endpoints
Task 3: Build all UI components
Task 4: Connect everything

Good (vertical slicing):

Task 1: User can create an account (schema + API + UI for registration)
Task 2: User can log in (auth schema + API + UI for login)
Task 3: User can create a task (task schema + API + UI for creation)
Task 4: User can view task list (query + API + UI for list view)
