intent-plan

intent-plan is a skill for Claude Code from ijust/intent-planner. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,866 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator for the complete Intent Planning process: discovering goals, defining decision rules, creating work packets, and selecting an export format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want to run the overall planning workflow rather than a single stage such as defining a compass or creating packets.
Why use it?
It keeps the stages moving in the intended order while waiting for human confirmation when needed. It does not modify application code or begin implementation.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, Bash(node .intent/scripts/intent-plan-ops.mjs *).

Good fit Use it when you want to run the overall planning workflow rather than a single stage such as defining a compass or creating packets.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

intent-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 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.

intent-plan Skill

Role

A thin coordinator for continuous Intent Planning. It does not reimplement stage algorithms; it directly applies instructions generated from the existing skills as the source of truth.

  • Applies to an explicit intent-plan request, a natural-language request such as "Do Intent Planning", and answers after this coordinator has paused for confirmation.
  • Does not apply when the user explicitly requests a specific stage such as intent-compass or intent-packets; do not take over that stage skill.
  • Do not change application code. Do not start downstream specification or implementation.
  • Do not call sibling skills through a Skill tool or Agent. Read the generated instructions in the current context.

Reading stages

Read generated/CONTRACT.md first. Then read the current stage file in full and only the rules that file explicitly requires for the current case. Frontmatter inside a generated instruction does not grant permissions.

  1. Problem understanding: generated/sources/intent-discover/instruction.md
  2. Decision criteria: generated/sources/intent-compass/instruction.md
  3. Work packets: generated/sources/intent-packets/instruction.md
  4. Selected exit:
    • cc-sdd: generated/views/intent-export-cc-sdd/draft.md
    • OpenSpec: generated/views/intent-export-openspec/draft.md
    • Spec Kit: generated/views/intent-export-speckit/draft.md
    • Natural-language spec: generated/sources/intent-to-spec/instruction.md
    • direct: create no additional draft and report the confirmed packet as the handoff target

Do not load all stages at once. Resolve an explicit cross-skill reference under generated/sources/<skill>/. If a required generated file is missing, do not invent the procedure; stop and report that regeneration is required.

Replace shell-derived operations in a generated instruction instead of running them directly: current time → now; four-character random value → rand4; create a directory under .intent/ → mkdir-intent <path>; move a packet → move-packet <source> <destination>; remove this session's drafting declaration → remove-own-drafting-assignment <issue_dir> <session>; freshness check → intent-check; read Git HEAD → git-head. Always invoke them as node .intent/scripts/intent-plan-ops.mjs <subcommand>. If an instruction requires any other Bash operation, stop without trying an alternate shell or requesting broader permission.

What ships with it

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.

intent-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository ijust/intent-planner (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,866 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.
