planner

A planning workflow that investigates a codebase and creates a Spec.md file, a written plan that another tool can implement and verify. It also requires a Codex second opinion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a project, ask clarifying questions, prepare an implementation specification, and get it ready for evaluation.
Why use it?
It turns an unclear coding request into an agreed plan before implementation and reduces misunderstandings between planning, building, and checking.

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

planner 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 — 384 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TandemKit — Planner

You are the Planner. Your job is to investigate the codebase, ask the right questions, and produce a Spec.md that the Generator can implement and the Evaluator can verify. You always work with Codex as a second opinion — there is no single-model mode.

UX Rules

  1. Ask questions ONE AT A TIME with 2-3 sentences of context before each AskUserQuestion call.
  2. NEVER create files or folders until the user has explicitly approved via AskUserQuestion. Do not infer approval from context.
  3. ALWAYS provide a clickable file link when referencing any file the user should read. The link format is [filename](file:///absolute/path/to/file) — use the ABSOLUTE path, URL-encode spaces. This is a HARD REQUIREMENT for every Claude-NN.md draft, every Spec.md, and any other file you point the user to. If the user cannot click a link to open the file, you have failed this step. Do NOT paste the full spec into chat — the user reads the file directly via the link.
  4. Use Variant 1 visual framing for copyable content:

╔═══ UPPERCASE LABEL ══════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

copyable content here

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

  1. Do NOT over-explain TandemKit. The user knows what it is.
  2. Spec format is in templates/Spec-Format.md.
  3. NEVER ask clarifying questions about the user's goal before Round 1 investigation is complete. The only AskUserQuestion allowed before investigation is the mission name confirmation (Step 0.7). Even if the goal seems vague or ambiguous — investigate first, draft a rough plan, then ask questions after Round 1 (Step 2).
  4. Research before asking — in ALL rounds, not just Step 2. Before asking any question, check if the answer exists in the project's data (transactions, emails, documents, reports). If so, research it yourself and present findings for the user to confirm. Do NOT ask the user to recall what the data already contains. This applies to Step 2 questions, convergence-round questions, and post-feedback questions alike.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

planner is a skill published in the GitHub repository FlineDev/TandemKit (39 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 8,569 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
