write-plan

write-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from duthaho/claudekit. It costs 95 tokens per session (2,695 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide that turns an approved software specification into a numbered implementation task list.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for multi-file, multi-day, collaborative, or handoff work; skip it for trivial one-line changes.
Why use it?
It makes each task's file, change, test, and proof of completion explicit before coding begins.

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

write-plan 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 4d 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.

Write Plan

Overview

A workflow for converting a spec into an executable plan: a numbered list of tasks, each with a file path, an exact change, a test command, and an acceptance check. The skill exists because the most common implementation failure is starting from a plan that says "implement the cache" and discovering at code-review time that "implement" hid four sub-decisions nobody made. A plan written through this skill makes those decisions visible up front. Each task is small enough that a different engineer could pick it up cold; the entire plan is small enough that the spec's acceptance criteria are obviously reachable from it. Used after shape-spec, before code or plan-review.

When to Use

  • A spec has been approved and you're about to start coding
  • The work will span more than one PR or take more than a day
  • More than one person will work on the change
  • You're handing the work off to a teammate and need them to start without you in the room
  • You ran plan-review and the reviewer said the plan is too vague to evaluate

When NOT to Use

  • The change is Trivial (one-line / single-file / describable in one sentence) — skip planning, make the change, run verification-gate
  • A plan exists; you should be running plan-review against it, not rewriting it
  • You don't have a spec yet and the change is Standard — go to shape-spec first

Process

Effort tier: planning is for Small and Standard changes. A Small change (≤ ~3 files, obvious design) needs only a lightweight inline plan — the task list and per-task acceptance check below, skipping the spec that fed it. A Standard change gets the full plan and then plan-review. Trivial changes skip this skill entirely. Either way verification-gate and code-review-loop still run — planning scales, the gate does not. (Full tier table: README "Sizing the work".)

Step 1: Confirm the spec is sufficient

Goal: Avoid planning against a spec that itself is incomplete.

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.

write-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository duthaho/claudekit (97 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 2,695 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
