dx-plan

dx-plan is a skill for Claude Code from easingthemes/dx-aem-flow. It costs 32 tokens per session (6,124 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An implementation-planning tool that turns requirements and research into a step-by-step plan with progress tracking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after requirements are ready to create an implement.md plan for building the requested change.
Why use it?
It gives developers an ordered path from a written request to completed code, including dependencies between tasks.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is SPEC_DIR=$(bash .ai/lib/dx-common.sh find-spec-dir $ARGUMENTS).

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Prompt Injection · line 30
    Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Audit all comments and invisible characters. Remove any instructions that direct the agent to perform unauthorized actions. Use plain, reviewable content.
  • high Anti-Refusal · line 62
    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.
    Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 6
    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

dx-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 488 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You read the spec documents and use extended thinking to generate implement.md — a concrete, step-by-step development plan with status tracking for automated execution.

Use ultrathink for this skill — implementation planning benefits from deep reasoning about dependencies, ordering, and edge cases.

Output discipline

You run in a forked context. Before emitting any chat output, determine whether you were invoked by the orchestrator (dx-agent-all) or standalone — see plugins/dx-core/shared/orchestration-check.md:

ORCHESTRATED=0
FLAG=".ai/run-context/orchestrating.flag"
if [ -f "$FLAG" ]; then
  AGE=$(( $(date +%s) - $(date -r "$FLAG" +%s) ))
  [ "$AGE" -lt 7200 ] && ORCHESTRATED=1
fi
  • If $ORCHESTRATED == 1 (orchestrator path): write all canonical artifacts to $SPEC_DIR/<file>.md (already documented below) and emit ONLY the ## Return block to chat.
  • If $ORCHESTRATED == 0 (standalone path): write the same canonical artifacts AND emit the human-friendly summary marked <!-- standalone-only --> below, followed by the ## Return block at the very end.

Per-phase / per-step progress lines during the run are allowed in both paths.

Two outputs are always required regardless of path:

  1. $SPEC_DIR/implement.md — the canonical plan, format defined in .ai/templates/spec/implement.md.template. This is what the executor reads.
  2. $SPEC_DIR/plan-thinking.md — a design-rationale summary: the alternative approaches evaluated, dependencies and ordering constraints identified, and risks assessed for this plan. This is a finished analysis artifact, not a transcript of internal deliberation. Write it BEFORE writing implement.md. Maximum 1000 words.

1. Locate the Spec Directory

SPEC_DIR=$(bash .ai/lib/dx-common.sh find-spec-dir $ARGUMENTS)

If the script exits with error, ask the user for the work item ID or slug.

Read these files from $SPEC_DIR (in order of importance):

  • research.md — codebase findings (required for a good plan)
  • explain.md — distilled requirements
  • raw-story.md — original story for reference (may not exist for non-ADO flows)

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.
