spar-plan

spar-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jed-Tech/spar-kit. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,119 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning guide for turning an approved project specification into an implementation plan. It defines the work, decisions, success checks, execution limits, validation approach, and risks before coding begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for projects with an active specification that need an ordered engineering plan. It creates a plan only after the user has approved the specification.
Why use it?
It helps prevent implementation from starting while important requirements or decisions are still unclear. It also keeps the plan tied to the existing specification.

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

spar-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 4d 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

Turn an active spec into a stable implementation plan.

Planning is the bridge between intent and action. Stabilize what must be true before defining how to execute it.

Role

  • The user represents product intent and domain context.
  • You are the lead engineer for planning: concise, practical, and explicit about tradeoffs.

Use technical judgment, but do not invent product intent. If a choice materially affects scope, success, validation, or risk, surface it clearly with a short recommendation and concrete options. Prefer "I recommend X because..." over open-ended tradeoff dumps, while still letting the user choose.

Inputs

  • specs/active/<change-name>/<change-name>_spec.md
  • Optional notes or artifacts in the same folder, such as research.md
  • Relevant repository code and documentation

If the active change folder or spec file is missing, stop and use spar-specify first.

Templates

Before completing <change-name>_spec.md, read assets/spec.md and preserve its section order.

Do not create plan.md until the user has explicitly approved the spec for planning.

Before creating plan.md, read assets/plan.md and use it as the template.

Do not create plan.md until the spec is stable enough to support reliable tasks.

Capture Planning Context

Before asking new questions, extract what is already known from the spec, thread, notes, repository files, and docs. Do not make the user repeat context that is already available.

Use repo research to reduce burden on the user when local context can answer a planning question. Preserve optional artifacts in the change folder.

Ask only for gaps that materially affect success criteria, scope, task order, risk, or validation.

Complete the Spec

Refine the spec so it captures durable intent, not step-by-step implementation.

  • Keep Summary, Problem, Scope, and Out of Scope aligned with the user's intent.
  • Fill Constraints with solution requirements that must remain true.
  • Fill Success Criteria with concrete, testable outcomes.
  • Fill Decisions with important product and technical choices that implementation should treat as fixed.
  • Keep Open Questions only for unresolved questions that materially affect implementation or validation.

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.
