mk:validate-plan

mk:validate-plan is a skill for Claude Code from ngocsangyem/MeowKit. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for reviewing an approved software plan across eight quality areas, including scope, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and risks. Acceptance criteria are specific conditions that determine whether the work is complete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate a plan after approval and before testing or development starts.
Why use it?
It catches missing details and unresolved risks before implementation begins, when changes are less costly.

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

mk:validate-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 9d 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.

Plan Validation — 8-Dimension Quality Check

Audits an approved plan against 8 dimensions to catch gaps before implementation begins. Does NOT replace Gate 1 (human approval), modify plans, or route edits itself. If it finds an Insert or Split mutation is needed, the planner performs it and returns to Gate 1 for re-approval; Skip and Reorder changes require notification plus audit log.

For green-field harness sprints (generator↔evaluator loop), use mk:sprint-contract instead. mk:validate-plan operates on plans from mk:plan-creator (cook flow only).

When to Use

  • After Gate 1 approval, before Phase 2 (Test)
  • When /mk:cook detects a COMPLEX task (auto-suggested)
  • When user wants to stress-test a plan before committing to implementation
  • When user says "validate this plan", "check my plan", "is this plan complete"

8 Validation Dimensions

# Dimension Pass Criteria Common Failure
1 Scope Clarity In-scope and out-of-scope sections are explicit and non-overlapping Vague scope: "improve the auth system" without boundaries
2 Acceptance Criteria Every criterion is binary (pass/fail), not subjective Subjective: "should feel fast" vs binary: "response < 200ms"
3 Dependencies Resolved All external dependencies identified with status (available/blocked) Missing: needs DB migration but not listed as dependency
4 Risks Identified At least 1 risk flag with mitigation strategy No risks listed (every plan has risks; zero = not evaluated)
5 Architecture Documented Technical approach references existing patterns or includes ADR "We'll figure out the architecture during implementation"
6 Test Strategy Test approach covers acceptance criteria; edge cases identified "We'll add tests after" (violates TDD)
7 Security Considered Auth, data access, input validation addressed (or explicitly N/A) No mention of security for a feature handling user data
8 Effort Estimated Time/complexity estimate with confidence level No estimate or "it depends" without qualification

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.
