write-deviations

write-deviations is a skill for Claude Code from feO2x/guided-coding. It costs 34 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for deciding whether completed Guided Coding work needs a Plan Deviations document and writing one when required. Such a document records important differences between the plan and the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementation to inspect plans, branches, commits, and changes, then create a dated deviations document or report that none is needed.
Why use it?
It preserves decisions future maintainers need when the implementation materially changed the plan or follow-up plans were added.

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-deviations 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 1mo 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 Deviations

Your goal is to decide whether the completed implementation needs a Plan Deviations document and, if so, to write it into the ai-plans/ folder at the repository root. After writing, report the document path and stop.

A Plan Deviations document summarizes how the completed implementation differs from the original plan. Reading the initial plan together with this document should be enough to understand the complete work.

1. Inspect the Plans and the Implementation

Read all plans for the current ticket in ai-plans/, oldest first. Identify them by the <ticket-id> or <short-title> in their file names, or by the plans mentioned in the conversation. Ask the user if the set of plans is unclear.

Determine the implementation range. Use the PR/MR if there is one. Otherwise, use the merge base between the target branch and the implementation branch. Inspect the commits in that range, all committed, staged, and unstaged changes, and any relevant earlier history. Verify every document and source-file reference you rely on.

2. Decide Whether a Document Is Needed

Write a Plan Deviations document in either of these cases:

  • Follow-Up Plans exist. Summarize the changes from the first plan so that the first plan and this document explain the complete work.
  • The implementation materially changes or rejects an explicit plan decision. This applies to decisions about at least one Acceptance Criterion, a public contract or data model, an architectural or component boundary, a security or performance constraint, or another design decision future maintainers need to know about.

Routine choices the plans left open are not deviations. An Acceptance Criterion that is documented but not met remains incomplete; it does not count as a deviation unless an accepted Follow-Up Plan explicitly supersedes it.

If there is only one plan and no material deviations, report that conclusion to the user, create nothing, and stop.

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-deviations is a skill published in the GitHub repository feO2x/guided-coding (6 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 906 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
