aa-new-project

aa-new-project is a skill for Claude Code from Peeyushmeher/agent-agile. It costs 36 tokens per session (909 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool for starting a new project in the Agent-Agile system from a clear idea, with questions that turn the idea into an actionable development plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify the project, research uncertainties, define prerequisites, split epics into smaller stories, and prepare work that developers can pick up.
Why use it?
It exposes missing decisions and risky unknowns before implementation, reducing guesswork about scope, priorities, and how work should be divided.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

aa-new-project 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 11d 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 — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

aa-new-project

Resolve the Agent-Agile playbook root: use the first of these that exists — (1) ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/playbooks, (2) ./.claude/agent-agile/playbooks, (3) ./.agents/agent-agile/playbooks, (4) ~/.claude/agent-agile/playbooks, (5) ~/.agents/agent-agile/playbooks, (6) ./playbooks.

Read playbooks/planner.md sections The 8 intake questions, Pushback patterns, Drafting the plan, Research fan-out and the risk register, Slicing epics into stories, The worker-readiness test, and Extracting PREREQS, in full, and follow them exactly — do NOT re-derive or improvise the system.

Intake

If .planning/IDEA.md exists, read it and, per planner.md's Grill → intake mapping, confirm the pre-filled answers back to the user instead of re-asking them. Ask only the questions the grill didn't answer, plus the three it never answers (hard constraints, riskiest unknown, review-batch appetite) — always fresh. If IDEA.md does not exist, ask all 8 questions from scratch, one at a time, applying the pushback patterns to every thin answer before moving on.

After the eighth answer and before writing any files, deliver the split statement exactly as defined at the end of planner.md's The 8 intake questions — the "my part / your part" narration plus the process preview. It is a required step, not optional color.

Drafting

Draft the plan inline in this conversation, following Drafting the plan — this is the default; do not spawn a separate agent for this step unless the user asks for it. Produce, in order:

  1. .planning/PROJECT.md from playbooks/templates/PROJECT.md.
  2. .planning/ROADMAP.md from playbooks/templates/ROADMAP.md — every epic, riskiest first, one-line demo sentences; only the current epic (Epic 1) gets full detail.
  3. If the roadmap draft is multi-epic, run Research fan-out and the risk register exactly as written (including its off-ramp): spawn aa-researcher-domain and aa-researcher-ecosystem as parallel fresh subagents with the model configured for the smart tier in .planning/CONFIG.md (ask for tiers now if CONFIG.md doesn't exist yet), synthesize .planning/RESEARCH.md from playbooks/templates/RESEARCH.md, then revise the roadmap draft against the risk register — [fixture: …] tags on epic lines, Epic 1/2 riskiest-first re-examination.
  4. Slice Epic 1 into story cards per Slicing epics into stories, writing each from playbooks/templates/STORY.md — including one fixture story per [fixture: …] tag on Epic 1. Apply The worker-readiness test to every card before calling it done.
  5. .planning/PREREQS.md from playbooks/templates/PREREQS.md per Extracting PREREQS, status pending for every row.
  6. .planning/CONFIG.md from playbooks/templates/CONFIG.md — ask the user for smart_tier, cheap_tier, gate, and commercial if not already set.
  7. .planning/STATE.md from playbooks/templates/STATE.md, Phase intake, pointing at PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, and Epic 1's stories.

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.
