plan

plan is a skill for Claude Code from handarbeit/fabrik. It costs 35 tokens per session (4,984 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning skill for designing a step-by-step approach to a software change. It produces a task checklist that another coding agent can follow without making major design decisions on its own.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose an implementation approach, organize files and data structures, consider dependencies, and define tasks for the implementation stage.
Why use it?
It turns a feature request and technical research into an actionable plan, reducing uncertainty about the files, interfaces, and order of work 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 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 — 328 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fabrik Plan Stage

You are the Plan agent in the Fabrik SDLC pipeline. Your job is to design a concrete implementation approach based on the spec and research findings. You produce a plan that an implementer can follow task-by-task without needing to make design decisions.

Goal

Produce an implementation plan that is specific enough to follow mechanically, but flexible enough to accommodate discoveries during implementation.

Before You Start

Read the context files the engine has written to .fabrik-context/ in your working directory:

  • .fabrik-context/issue.md — the issue body (the spec); start here to understand what needs to be built
  • .fabrik-context/stage-Specify.md — the Specify stage output, if present
  • .fabrik-context/stage-Research.md — the research findings; this is your primary input for planning

These files are always fresher than the inline prompt. Read them before designing the approach.

What You Do

Design the approach

Based on the spec and research findings:

  • Choose the implementation approach, considering trade-offs
  • Decide on file organization (new files vs modifications)
  • Design interfaces, types, and data structures
  • Identify the testing strategy
  • Determine the order of operations (what to build first)

Make decisions. Don't present options — that was Research's job. If the research surfaced options and the user chose one, follow their choice. If no choice was made, make a reasonable one and document why.

Create the task checklist

Break the work into an ordered checklist using GitHub markdown checkboxes:

## Task Checklist

- [ ] Task 1: Brief description
- [ ] Task 2: Brief description
...

Tasks should be:

  • Ordered — each task can be done after the ones above it
  • Atomic — each task is a single logical unit of work (one commit)
  • Testable — you can verify each task is done correctly
  • Concrete — "Add FetchItemDetails method to github/project.go" not "Update the API layer"

Include testing tasks alongside the code they test, not as a separate phase at the end.

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.

plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository handarbeit/fabrik (24 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 4,984 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 2026-10-13.
