day-next-plan

day-next-plan is a skill for Claude Code from mpazik/Binder. It costs 17 tokens per session (654 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A daily planning helper that carries unfinished items from one journal day to the next and identifies one critical task.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review the previous day's unfinished items, plan the target day, connect the plan to the week's goals, and track recent achievements.
Why use it?
It prevents incomplete work from disappearing between daily plans and makes you decide what to move, schedule later, or drop.

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

day-next-plan 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build the target day's plan. The source day's summary is already done — skip straight to carry-forward review.

Context

Offset controls direction: proactive (positive or default — planning days ahead) or retroactive (negative — backfilling a past day's plan).

Source day = carry-forward source (offset $0). Target day = day being planned (offset $0 + 1). Always read its date from the entry below — never assume it's "tomorrow."

Source day entry (carry-forward review): !O=$0; binder read $(bun scripts/journal.ts d ${O:-0} --key) --format yaml Target day entry (we are planning this — created if missing): !O=$0; binder read $(bun scripts/journal.ts d $((${O:-0} + 1)) --key) --format yaml Week context: !O=$0; binder read $(bun scripts/journal.ts w ${O:-0} --key) -f "weekPeriod,goal,plan,achievements" --format yaml Recent days: !binder search type=JournalDay "dayPeriod>=$(date -v-7d +%Y-%m-%d)" -f "dayPeriod,plan,achievements,summary" --format yaml

Flow

1. Carry-forward review

Present the source day's unfinished plan items (not in achievements). For each, ask:

  • Move to target day
  • Schedule for later this week → specify which day
  • Drop

Flag zombie tasks — anything that's been unfinished for 3+ consecutive days:

"This has been on your list since [date]. Commit to a specific day or kill it."

Force a decision. No silent rolling.

2. Week plan pull

Show items from the week plan that haven't appeared on recent day plans. Ask: "Any of these for [target day date]?"

3. Additional tasks

"Anything else? Appointments, errands, personal?"

Output

Use binder update to write all agreed changes in one step — do not skip any:

  1. Target day plan — update the target day entry (key from context) with agreed items as a single multi-line string. Can include context paragraphs (e.g. weekend notes, energy expectations) followed by a plain bullet list — no checkboxes.
  2. Rescheduled items — for every item moved to a future day during carry-forward review, read that day's existing plan first, then binder update <that-day-key> to add it. Do this immediately, not as an afterthought.

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.
