concise-planning

concise-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from houarnu166/skillful-agent-system-builder. It costs 29 tokens per session (346 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of concise-planning, MIT.

A method for writing short, actionable plans for coding tasks as ordered checklists of small steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a project, define what is in scope, list implementation steps, record open questions, and include validation tasks.
Why use it?
It turns a broad request into concrete work while accounting for the existing code, project constraints, and testing.

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

concise-planning 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to concise-planning — 7 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Concise Planning

Goal

Turn a user request into a single, actionable plan with atomic steps.

Workflow

1. Scan Context

  • Read README.md, docs, and relevant code files.
  • Identify constraints (language, frameworks, tests).

2. Minimal Interaction

  • Ask at most 1–2 questions and only if truly blocking.
  • Make reasonable assumptions for non-blocking unknowns.

3. Generate Plan

Use the following structure:

  • Approach: 1-3 sentences on what and why.
  • Scope: Bullet points for "In" and "Out".
  • Action Items: A list of 6-10 atomic, ordered tasks (Verb-first).
  • Validation: At least one item for testing.

## Open Questions

- <Question 1 (max 3)>

Checklist Guidelines

  • Atomic: Each step should be a single logical unit of work.
  • Verb-first: "Add...", "Refactor...", "Verify...".
  • Concrete: Name specific files or modules when possible.

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.
