voice-first-planning

voice-first-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mlopscommunity/Coding-Agents-Conference-skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,759 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning method that turns a spoken stream of ideas into an organized feature brief, specification, or architecture discussion using speech-to-text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start features, brainstorm designs, write product documents, or explain bugs that are difficult to describe in writing.
Why use it?
Speaking freely often captures more context than typing and avoids getting stuck while trying to phrase an early idea perfectly.

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

voice-first-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.

Voice-First Planning

Overview

Use speech-to-text tools to dictate your initial specs, feature ideas, and architectural thoughts instead of typing them. Speaking naturally produces longer, more context-rich input because people self-edit heavily when typing but ramble freely when talking. That rambling is gold — LLMs are excellent at extracting structured meaning from unstructured speech.

Core principle: Speaking freely captures intent that is hard to express in typed text. Don't self-edit — ramble and let the LLM find the structure.

Dependency: A speech-to-text tool (WhisperFlow, macOS Dictation, or similar).

When to Use

  • At the start of a new feature when you have a rough idea but haven't formalized it
  • During brainstorming when you want to explore multiple approaches quickly
  • When writing specs, PRDs, or design documents from scratch
  • When you catch yourself staring at a blank prompt, unsure how to phrase what you want
  • When explaining a bug or problem you understand intuitively but struggle to articulate in text

When NOT to Use

  • During active implementation (typing precise code instructions is faster)
  • For short, well-defined commands ("fix the typo on line 42")
  • When you are in a shared/quiet workspace without a private space to speak
  • For editing or refining an already-written spec (just edit the text directly)

Common Mistakes

Mistake Why it's wrong
Editing yourself while speaking The whole point is to capture raw, unfiltered intent. Self-editing while speaking defeats the purpose — you lose the same context you lose when typing. Just talk.
Skipping the transcription review Speech-to-text makes errors. Quickly scan the transcript for mangled names, technical terms, or homophones before pasting it in. A 10-second scan prevents confused output.
Using voice during implementation Voice shines during planning and ideation. Once you are writing code, typed instructions are more precise. Don't force voice where typing is better.
Pasting the transcript without a framing prompt Claude Code needs to know what to do with the wall of text. Always prepend a short instruction like "Structure this into a feature spec" or "Extract the requirements from this transcript."
Speaking in short, clipped sentences You are not typing. Speak in full, natural paragraphs. Explain the why, the context, the constraints, the edge cases. Longer is better — the LLM will compress 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.
