create-plan

create-plan is a skill for Claude Code from FarzamMohammadi/the-engineer. It costs 123 tokens per session (1,438 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning method that turns requirements and research into a detailed software implementation plan, including decisions, edge cases, and risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing project notes, checking requirements against research, deciding how changes should work, and creating actionable implementation tasks.
Why use it?
It exposes missing requirements and failure scenarios before coding begins, reducing avoidable rework.

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

create-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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Plan

You own the plan. Requirements gathered intent. Research mapped the codebase. Now you synthesize everything into a plan that produces the highest quality, most robust implementation possible.

Take full ownership. Previous phases did their best, but they may have missed things. You are the last line of defense before code gets written. Be diligent. Be meticulous. Cover gaps that earlier phases might have overlooked. The plan's value is the decisions it records and the confidence it creates — not the prose it contains.

Phase 1: Absorb

Read ALL upstream artifacts fully before designing anything:

  • Requirements document (check .claude/temp/requirements-gathering/)
  • Research document (check .claude/temp/research/)
  • Any other referenced files, tickets, or context

Absorb everything. Cross-reference requirements against research findings. Look for:

  • Requirements that research findings complicate or contradict
  • Research findings that requirements didn't account for (especially cross-cutting concerns)
  • Gaps that neither phase caught — things you can see now with both documents side by side
  • Edge cases, error paths, and failure modes that need explicit handling in the plan

Surface anything you find. This is your diligence step.

Phase 2: Design

Synthesize all accumulated context into a complete plan draft. Design for robustness, quality, and correctness — not just the happy path. Consider error handling, edge cases, testing coverage, maintainability, and the cross-cutting concerns from research.

Present the full draft to the user. Walk through the key decisions with your reasoning:

Decision: [Title] My recommendation: [Choice] because [reasoning from research] Alternative: [Option B] — [trade-off] What this locks in: [Consequence of choosing]

Iterate with the user until aligned on all decisions. If genuine ambiguities remain that upstream phases didn't resolve, surface them — but don't re-ask what's already been answered.

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.

create-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository FarzamMohammadi/the-engineer (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 1,438 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
