superpowers-sage:plan-generator

superpowers-sage:plan-generator is a skill for Claude Code from hekivo/superpowers-sage. It costs 84 tokens per session (773 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns an approved software design into a step-by-step implementation plan. It organizes work into phases, dependencies, owners, and completion checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a software architecture document into implementation tasks, show which tasks depend on others, assign work to suitable skills, and define acceptance criteria.
Why use it?
It prevents coding from starting with an unclear or unapproved design. It also makes missing dependencies and differences from the approved design easier to catch.

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

superpowers-sage:plan-generator 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 8d 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.

Plan Generator

Generate implementation plans from approved architecture specs.

Announce at start: "I'm using plan-generator to transform the approved architecture into an executable implementation plan."

Input

$ARGUMENTS

HARD GATES

  • Do not generate a plan without an approved architecture spec.
  • Do not implement code in this skill.
  • Do not mark the plan complete if dependencies are ambiguous.

Procedure

1) Resolve and validate spec input

Accept one of:

  • Direct spec path from arguments
  • Most recent approved file in docs/superpowers/specs/

Reject if spec approval is missing.

2) Preflight — handoff payload validation

Before generating any plan files, validate the architecture spec against its claimed sources (git refs, external APIs, content models). See references/anti-drift.md for the full preflight protocol.

If the spec's "chosen approach" is "zero-migration port from legacy schema", emit an AD-2 byte-for-byte gate per ported component. See references/anti-drift.md.

3) Parse architecture into implementation units

Extract:

  • Components and responsibilities
  • Data model decisions
  • Integration points
  • Quality constraints

Translate each into concrete implementation units.

4) Build dependency graph

Classify every unit:

  • parallel: independent work
  • sequential: depends on prior unit output
  • gated: requires user/reviewer checkpoint

Document graph in the plan.

5) Assign execution strategy and skill routing

For each unit, define:

  • Strategy: autonomous, interactive, or mixed
  • Suggested skill(s): superpowers-sage:building, superpowers-sage:modeling, superpowers-sage:designing, superpowers-sage:verifying, and reference skills (acorn-*, wp-*) as needed
  • Acceptance criteria

6) Generate plan directory and files

Create the directory and file structure as defined in references/plan-format.md.

What ships with it

2 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.
