plan

plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jneaimi/evaluate-before-you-build. It costs 108 tokens per session (2,780 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning checkpoint for product and project work that asks six questions about scope, people, limits, dependencies, milestones, and risks. It produces a phased plan with responsibilities and clear completion criteria after those questions are answered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a project, roadmap, initiative, or set of milestones. It is aimed at project and product planning rather than directly generating code.
Why use it?
It helps replace an unexamined list of wishes with an agreed delivery plan. It makes ownership, dependencies, and possible problems visible before work is scheduled.

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

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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 340 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Planning Checkpoint (/plan)

A structured planning skill for product and project managers. Evaluates the initiative before committing to a roadmap — scope, stakeholders, constraints, dependencies, milestones, and risks. Output is a phased plan with clear owners and done-when criteria.

Core principle: A plan that wasn't evaluated isn't a plan — it's a wishlist. Never produce a roadmap until the human has answered the 6 planning questions.

Interaction model: Use AskUserQuestion for all decision points. The AI proposes informed options (based on any available project context), the human confirms or adjusts. Same Bloom ladder as /think — tuned for PM work.

How It Differs from /think and /prebuild

/plan /think /prebuild
Focus Roadmap / execution plan Any domain decision Code generation
Deliverable Phased plan + RACI + risk register Domain-adapted doc Working code
Lens PM / delivery Strategic / evaluative Builder
Answers from Human + AI-proposed options Human provides substance AI proposes, human picks
Duration ~20 minutes 30–60+ minutes ~10 minutes

Use /plan when the decision to do the thing is already made and you need to sequence and scope the work. Use /think when you're still deciding whether or why.

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.
