crispi-planning

crispi-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mlopscommunity/Coding-Agents-Conference-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (2,553 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A staged planning process for coding tasks that separates background research, design, and implementation planning before code is written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a task, decide how it should work, and produce a written implementation plan for a feature, bug fix, or refactor.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion and rework on changes involving several files, unclear requirements, or unfamiliar code.

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

crispi-planning 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 10d 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.

CRISPI Planning

Overview

A multi-stage planning pipeline that separates research, design, and implementation into distinct context windows. Each stage produces a written artifact that feeds the next, preventing context window pollution and ensuring alignment before code is written.

CRISPI stands for: Context, Research, Implementation design, Structured plan, Implementation.

Core principle: Don't use prompts for control flow -- use actual control flow. Each stage runs in a fresh context window with fewer than 40 instructions, producing a document that becomes the input for the next stage.

When to Use

  • Before starting any feature, bug fix, or refactor that touches more than one file
  • When a ticket is ambiguous and needs research before you can estimate scope
  • When you need alignment with stakeholders before writing code
  • When working on unfamiliar parts of the codebase
  • When a previous attempt failed due to context window exhaustion

When NOT to Use

  • One-line fixes or typo corrections
  • Changes where the implementation is already obvious and self-contained
  • Purely mechanical refactors (rename a variable, update an import path)
  • When you are already inside an implementation stage with a validated plan

Common Mistakes

Mistake Why it's wrong
Combining research and implementation in one context window Research context pollutes implementation. Separate them so the agent doing research doesn't anchor on a specific solution, and the agent writing code doesn't waste tokens on exploration. (Dex [05:44:35])
Writing a plan that reads like a horizontal layer cake ("first do all the models, then all the routes, then all the tests") Horizontal plans break at integration boundaries. Build vertically -- one working slice at a time, each independently testable. (Dex [05:58:16])
Skipping the plan and jumping straight to code "Always start with a plan before coding." The plan is both your roadmap and your recovery mechanism when the context window resets. (Rafael [03:16:14], Sid [00:34:14])
Writing the plan only in your head or in plan mode UI Write plans to a file (docs/plan.md or docs/plans/). Files persist across context windows; plan mode state does not. (Rob [03:29:27], Sid [00:41:44])
Letting the plan go stale during implementation Keep the plan file updated with current task status -- check off completed items, note deviations. It is your context recovery mechanism. (Josh [03:28:11])
Asking the research agent leading questions that reveal your preferred solution Hide intent from research context. Frame as neutral questions so the agent explores broadly rather than confirming your bias. (Dex [05:44:35])

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.

crispi-planning is a skill published in the GitHub repository mlopscommunity/Coding-Agents-Conference-skills (37 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 2,553 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
