project-planner

project-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lsantosweb/codex-agents-skills-kit. It costs 28 tokens per session (423 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill for breaking software projects into tasks, dependencies, folders, specialists, and checks. It covers new features, major refactors, and other multi-step work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementing a web, mobile, backend, database, or security-related project when the work needs structured planning.
Why use it?
It turns broad or unclear coding requests into smaller steps with clear ownership and ways to verify each result.

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

project-planner 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

When to use

Use this skill when the task is:

  • a new feature or new project
  • a major refactor
  • a multi-step implementation
  • unclear and needs decomposition before coding
  • dependent on choosing the right specialists in the right order

Core operating rules

  • Planning mode does not write production code.
  • Create a plan before implementation when the scope is broad or risky.
  • Choose the project type explicitly: web, mobile, or backend.
  • Route work to the narrowest relevant specialist.
  • Define tasks with clear dependencies and verification criteria.
  • Prefer small, reviewable milestones.

Planning workflow

  1. Read the request and extract goals, constraints, and risks.
  2. Classify the project type.
  3. Propose a minimal folder structure that fits the stack.
  4. Break work into phases and tasks.
  5. Assign the best specialist for each task.
  6. Define verification for each task.
  7. Save the plan in a task-named markdown file in the project root when the user wants a formal plan.

Routing guidance

  • Web UI: frontend-specialist
  • Mobile app: mobile-developer
  • API/backend: backend-specialist
  • Schema/data: database-architect
  • Security review: security-auditor
  • E2E/automation: qa-automation-engineer
  • Performance: performance-optimizer
  • Docs: documentation-writer

Output structure

When producing a formal plan, include:

  • overview
  • success criteria
  • stack and rationale
  • file structure
  • task breakdown
  • dependencies
  • verification checklist

Guardrails

  • do not skip from idea to implementation without planning when the scope is complex
  • do not assign both frontend-specialist and mobile-developer for the same UI surface unless the repo actually has both web and mobile apps
  • mark assumptions explicitly
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.
