planning

planning is a skill for Kiro from ihatesea69/kiro-kit. It costs 32 tokens per session (270 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to turning a technical goal into an actionable implementation plan. It covers breaking work into phases, identifying dependencies and risks, and defining rollback steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare technical approaches, split features into tasks, estimate work, define success criteria, track unresolved questions, and plan safer releases.
Why use it?
It reduces uncertainty before coding and makes large or complex changes easier to execute and review.

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

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 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.

What it actually says

Planning

Activate this skill when planning features, evaluating approaches, or creating implementation strategies.

When to Use

  • Starting a new feature or project
  • Evaluating multiple technical approaches
  • Decomposing complex requirements into tasks
  • Assessing risks and dependencies
  • Creating time-boxed implementation plans

Process

  1. Define success criteria and constraints
  2. Research relevant patterns and prior art
  3. Decompose into phases (3-7 typical)
  4. Identify dependencies and critical path
  5. Assess risks and define mitigations
  6. Create actionable task list with time estimates
  7. Document unresolved questions

Output Format

Plans go in plans/YYYYMMDD-HHmm-plan-name/:

  • plan.md: overview, phase list, status tracking
  • phase-XX-name.md: detailed phase specifications

Rules

  • Every task should be completable in 30 min to 2 hours
  • Plans must be actionable, not aspirational
  • Include rollback strategy for risky phases
  • Apply YAGNI: plan only what is needed now
Files

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.

planning is a skill published in the GitHub repository ihatesea69/kiro-kit (19 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 270 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 2026-09-03.
