ring:planning-large-features

ring:planning-large-features is a skill for Cursor from LerianStudio/ring. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,556 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured planning process for large features that guides a team through research, requirements, technical design, API design, data modelling, dependency choices, and an implementation plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for features that take two or more days, add dependencies or data models, connect multiple services, or introduce new architecture.
Why use it?
It gives complex work a series of reviewed decisions before coding begins, reducing missed requirements and architectural surprises.

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

ring:planning-large-features 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.

Large Track Pre-Dev Workflow (8 Gates)

When to use

  • Feature takes >=2 days to implement
  • Adds new external dependencies (APIs, databases, libraries)
  • Creates new data models or entities
  • Requires multi-service integration
  • Uses new architecture patterns
  • Requires team collaboration

Skip when

  • Feature is simple (<2 days, existing patterns) - use ring:planning-small-features instead
  • No new dependencies, data models, or architecture patterns needed

Sequence

Runs before: ring:running-dev-cycle, ring:executing-plans

Complementary: ring:planning-small-features, ring:creating-worktrees, ring:product-designer + ring:validating-ux-completeness (standalone UX step, recommended when feature has UI) Skills orchestrated:

  • ring:researching-features
  • ring:writing-prds
  • ring:mapping-feature-relationships
  • ring:writing-trds
  • ring:designing-api-contracts
  • ring:designing-data-model
  • ring:pinning-dependency-versions
  • ring:writing-plans

Running the Large Track pre-development workflow for features that take ≥2 days, add new external dependencies, create new data models, require multi-service integration, use new architecture patterns, or require team collaboration.

For simple features (<2 days, existing patterns), use ring:planning-small-features instead.

Step 1: Gather Feature Name

AskUserQuestion: "What is the name of your feature?" (kebab-case, e.g., "auth-system", "payment-processing")

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.
