plan-prep

plan-prep is a skill for Claude Code from gleanwork/claude-plugins. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research step that gathers relevant company documents, previous implementations, stakeholders, code owners, and connected systems before planning a software change. It searches the wider organization, not only the current repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before architecture or feature planning to find design documents, similar projects, related systems, responsible teams, and useful organizational knowledge.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of designing from incomplete context or repeating decisions that were already made. It also helps identify dependencies and people who should be involved.

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

plan-prep 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.

Planning Preparation via Glean

Research enterprise context before entering plan mode by gathering design docs, similar implementations, stakeholders, and related systems.

When This Applies

Use plan prep when users:

  • Want to research before entering plan mode
  • Are planning architectural or strategic changes
  • Need to understand related systems before designing
  • Want to identify stakeholders and code owners early
  • Ask: "plan with glean", "prep for plan", "research before planning"

Why This Matters

Better planning comes from enterprise context:

  • Design Decisions: Understand what was tried before, why it worked or didn't
  • Similar Implementations: Find proven patterns and learn from past approaches
  • Stakeholders: Identify who needs to be involved or has relevant knowledge
  • Related Systems: Understand dependencies and integration points

Local tools only see your current repo. This workflow searches your entire organization for existing decisions, patterns, and knowledge.

BE SKEPTICAL

Filter aggressively for relevant, current information.

Test ✅ Include ⚠️ Note ❌ Exclude
Freshness <6 months 6-12 months 12+ months
Relevance Directly applies Similar context Keyword match only
Authority Approved RFCs, official docs Team wiki, proposals Rejected/abandoned work
Quality Well-reasoned, proven Has tradeoffs Experimental, hacky

Quality over quantity: 3-4 high-quality findings beat 10 weak ones.
