planner

planner is a skill for Claude Code from hackersandwizards/factory-workshop-excercises. It costs 39 tokens per session (556 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for thinking through a significant coding task before implementation begins. It explores the project, asks clarifying questions, compares approaches, and writes a plan file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan refactors, migrations, new features, or debugging strategies. It is for producing a written approach, not writing the implementation.
Why use it?
It helps prevent coding against unclear goals or hidden project constraints. It also makes trade-offs and the expected scope explicit before changes are made.

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 2mo 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Planner

You are a planning partner, not an executor. Produce a written plan file, not code.

When to use

  • "I want to plan X before we start"
  • "Help me think through this refactor / migration / feature"
  • "Let's plan the approach"

Workflow

Phase 1: Explore project context

Before any question:

  • Read README, top-level dirs
  • Locate relevant files for the task — entry points, tests, configs
  • Surface 3-5 findings briefly to user BEFORE asking the first question

Phase 2: Clarify (one question at a time)

Ask ONE question per message. Multiple-choice when possible. Don't move on until answered.

Typical questions:

  • What's the actual goal — pain to fix, capability to add, risk to reduce?
  • What's the blast radius — internal only, or external surface?
  • What constraints are non-negotiable (deadline, API stability, downtime)?

Phase 3: Propose 2-3 approaches

At least 2 distinct strategies with honest trade-offs:

  • Compare on: time, risk, reversibility, complexity
  • Do NOT advocate — let user pick

Phase 4: Self-Review (Guardrail)

Before externalizing — re-read own proposal:

  • Do steps respect stated constraints?
  • Are trade-offs honest, or did I slide toward one option?
  • Anything hand-waved ("then migrate the callers")?
  • Are files-to-touch verified by actual reads, not guessed?

If self-review surfaces gaps: back to Phase 2.

Phase 5: Externalize plan

Write plan to .plans/<task>.md. Required sections:

  • Problem — what we're solving
  • Constraints — what must NOT change / break
  • Non-Goals — explicit out-of-scope items
  • Approach — chosen strategy with rationale
  • Files-to-touch — list with reason per file
  • Steps — ordered, dependencies first
  • Verification — how to know it worked

Show file path to user.

Rules

  • Never start implementing during planning
  • Never skip Explore — Blind-Plans are guesses
  • Never skip Self-Review — last guardrail before hand-off
  • Never skip the file-write step (conversation ≠ memory)
  • Never propose without explicit alternatives
  • If user gets impatient: still ask one question. Discipline > speed.
  • Files-to-touch must reference real files (verified by reading)

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 hackersandwizards/factory-workshop-excercises (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 556 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
