al-plan-guidance

al-plan-guidance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/BCQuality. It costs 47 tokens per session (955 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Preview. Enrich an existing Business Central AL development plan with applicable BCQuality guidance before implementation, without changing the plan or repository. Use when the caller supplies a plan file or plan text for an AL change.

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

al-plan-guidance 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 today.

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.

AL plan guidance (preview)

This is BCQuality's host-native adapter for applying knowledge to an existing AL development plan. It is a preview: the underlying contract may change based on pilot feedback. It is not a BCQuality action skill and contains no routing or knowledge-selection policy. Its only responsibility is to translate the caller's request into an Entry task context and execute the resulting dispatch.

The adapter is read-only. It never creates or rewrites the plan, edits source, writes generated files into the caller's repository, runs tests, or implements the change.

Execute

  1. Resolve PLUGIN_ROOT to the directory containing this plugin's root plugin.json. This file is PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/al-plan-guidance/SKILL.md; when the host does not expose the plugin root, resolve it two levels above this file.
  2. Identify the caller's existing plan: a plan file path, plan text in the request, or a plan the caller explicitly identifies in the conversation. If no plan is available, ask the caller for one. Do not generate a plan; this skill enriches an existing one.
  3. Build the task-context required by PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/entry.md:
    • Copy the caller's actual request verbatim into goal.
    • Set inputs-available to development-plan, plus repository when the caller's AL repository or app folder is readable. Pass the complete plan content as development-plan and the repository path as repository; for a request in the caller's working directory, use that directory.
    • Set technologies: [al].
    • Pass bc-version, countries, and application-area only when supplied or reliably determined from the plan or repository.
    • If BCQUALITY_ENABLED_LAYERS is set, split its comma-separated value and pass the trimmed, non-empty entries as enabled-layers; otherwise omit the field and let Entry apply its default.
    • If BCQUALITY_DISABLED_SKILLS is set, split its comma-separated value and pass the trimmed, non-empty entries as disabled-skills; otherwise omit the field.
  4. Read and execute PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/entry.md exactly as written, including its Preparation step. Entry is authoritative for index freshness, routing, defaults, and failure behavior; this adapter must not duplicate or weaken those rules. Resolve every repo-relative path Entry names against PLUGIN_ROOT, not the caller's working directory. Run Preparation's index build as pwsh PLUGIN_ROOT/tools/Build-KnowledgeIndex.ps1. If PLUGIN_ROOT is inside the caller's repository, pass -IndexPath to a location outside that repository and supply the resulting index path to the dispatched skill. If pwsh is unavailable or the build fails, continue with READ's path-based discovery; a failed build is not empty knowledge.
  5. Follow Entry's How the agent uses the dispatch instructions. Invoke only the returned action skills, pass each dispatch entry's exact input subset, and read PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/read.md and PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/do.md on demand.
  6. Return each dispatched development guidance report unchanged. If Entry returns no-match or failed, return its dispatch record unchanged.

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.
