plan

plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lantisprime/claude-sdlc. It costs 130 tokens per session (2,847 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning gate for coding work that classifies the request, checks its scope and technology choices, and creates a written plan before code changes begin.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of new builds, bug fixes, and changes to review project scope, estimate the work, choose compatible technologies, and save the plan.
Why use it?
It prevents work from starting without agreed requirements, a suitable technology approach, and a recorded plan.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plan (Phase 1)

Produce a plan artifact before any code is touched. The plan-gate hook blocks Edit/Write until this file exists.

Step 1 — Classify the work item

Ask (or infer from context) which of these the request is:

  • New build — a new feature or capability not previously delivered
  • Fix — a correction to existing behavior
  • Change request (CR) — a modification to previously agreed scope

The classification drives different validation downstream (Phase 4 Build).

Step 2 — Resolve scope

If .claude/sdlc/scope.md exists and is signed: read it and proceed. Run a quick re-validation check — if the plan task looks materially different from what scope.md describes, invoke scope-ingest in re-validate mode and surface the drift report before continuing.

If .claude/sdlc/scope.md does not exist: ask the human to point at source material (file path or paste text). Then invoke the scope-ingest agent, which produces a draft at .claude/sdlc/scope-drafts/<timestamp>.md. Show the draft to the human and wait for review. The human copies/renames it to .claude/sdlc/scope.md and signs it before the plan proceeds.

Fallback — no source material: if the human has no source to point at, ask for a one-paragraph scope statement and write .claude/sdlc/scope.md directly (existing behavior, preserved for minimal-friction cases).

Then validate the resolved scope against the work item:

  • New build: confirm the request is within documented scope. If not, surface a scope-delta and ask the human whether to (a) treat as a CR, (b) expand scope, or (c) defer.
  • Fix: confirm the fix addresses in-scope behavior. An out-of-scope fix is a CR in disguise.
  • CR: require a change-request ID. If missing, create one under .claude/sdlc/change-requests/CR-<n>.md using templates/change-request.md and ask the human for sign-off before continuing.

See agents/scope-ingest.md for accepted source formats and draft output spec.

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.

plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository lantisprime/claude-sdlc (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 2,847 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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.
