limps: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/limps-plan-operations/SKILL.md

limps-plan-operations is a skill for Claude Code from paulbreuler/limps. It costs 37 tokens per session (3,726 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of shared instructions for finding, loading, and managing Limps feature plans. Limps is a planning system that stores work plans and related files for coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to locate a plan, read its supporting files, create concise agent instructions, or follow the plan through its lifecycle.
Why use it?
It prevents each command from handling plan paths, files, and lifecycle rules differently. It also adds safeguards for secrets and unsafe document processing.

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

limps-plan-operations 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 1mo 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.

Limps Plan Operations

Purpose

Provide reusable patterns for working with limps feature plans across commands. Handles plan identification, path resolution, loading plan artifacts, and shared distillation/lifecycle guidance for planning and agent execution.

LLM Execution Rules

  • Use limps MCP tools for all reads/writes when available; do not edit plan files directly.
  • Do not include secrets, tokens, or credentials in plan content.
  • Only run process_doc / process_docs with code you authored or reviewed.

Scope

  • identify-plan: Resolve a plan name or path to a canonical plan directory name and base path
  • load-artifacts: Load all plan artifacts (plan file, interfaces.md, README.md, gotchas.md, agent files) using limps MCP tools
  • resolve-path: Convert plan name/path input to canonical plans/NNNN-descriptive-name/ format
  • distill-agent-files: Apply distillation rules and size guidance for *.agent.md generation
  • lifecycle: Provide standard lifecycle and command usage context

MCP Tool Usage

All operations use limps MCP tools with server "limps":

Document & Plan Tools

  • list_plans - List available plans
  • list_agents - List agents for a plan
  • process_doc - Read and analyze a single document
  • process_docs - Read and analyze multiple documents (e.g., all agent files)
  • create_plan - Create a new plan structure
  • create_doc - Create a new document
  • update_doc - Update an existing document
  • search_docs - Full-text search across documents

Health & Integrity Tools

  • check_staleness - Report stale plans/agents based on modification time
  • check_drift - Verify agent file references match actual filesystem
  • infer_status - Suggest status updates based on dependency completion

Proposals & Scoring Tools

  • get_proposals - List update proposals from staleness, drift, and inference
  • apply_proposal - Apply a single proposal with confirmation
  • configure_scoring - Update scoring weights, presets, and biases

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.

limps-plan-operations is a skill published in the GitHub repository paulbreuler/limps (10 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 3,726 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
