improve-a-plan

improve-a-plan is a skill for Claude Code from kimgoetzke/coding-agent-configs. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,058 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reviewer for an existing software implementation plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect and improve a saved plan when you want to review its approach or test whether it is ready to implement.
Why use it?
It finds gaps, weak reasoning, and missing details so the plan is more useful before coding starts.

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

improve-a-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 2d 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Persistence

This skill belongs to the plans skill group. A persistence implementation decides where and how plans are stored. Before locating the plan, find the setting:

R="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)/.ai/config.properties"; { cat "$R" ~/.ai/config.properties | grep '^persistence\.plans[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*[^[:space:]]'; cat "$R" ~/.ai/config.properties | grep '^persistence[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*[^[:space:]]'; } 2>/dev/null | head -1 | tr -d ' \t\r'
  • No output: use local-ai-folder-markdown, the default for this skill group
  • persistence.plans={value} or persistence={value}: use {value}. If ../planning/persistence/{value}.md does not exist, tell the user the plans skill group has no {value} implementation and use local-ai-folder-markdown

Read ../planning/persistence/{implementation}.md and follow it whenever this skill lists or opens a plan, or reads, writes or updates a planning document.

Phase 1: Locate the plan

Resolve the target plan using the first matching strategy:

  1. Context inference — check your conversation context for a plan location from a prior planning-mode or planning skill invocation in this session. If found, use it directly and confirm with the user (e.g. "Improving plan 2026-03-24 auth refactor — correct?"). Proceed on confirmation; if the user says no, fall through to the next strategy.
  2. User argument — if the user provided an argument, resolve it as a number or plan name against the listed plans e.g. 2026-01-20 improve-mfa-flow. Do not read any plan documents until the plan has been resolved.
  3. Single plan — if only one plan exists, select it automatically.
  4. Multiple plans — list plans newest first in a numbered list and ask the user to choose. Do not read any plan documents until the plan has been resolved.
  5. No plans — tell the user no plans were found and suggest creating one with the planning-mode or planning skill.
