writing-plans

writing-plans is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from peintune/runjam. It costs 43 tokens per session (198 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning method for complex coding tasks that records the goal, approach, ordered steps, risks, and alternatives before implementation begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing a plan or specification, changing several modules, making breaking API changes, or deciding between architectural options.
Why use it?
It makes multi-file work and architecture decisions easier to organize before code changes create confusion.

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

writing-plans 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Writing Plans

For complex tasks, always plan before implementing.

Plan Structure

  1. Goal: What are we trying to achieve?
  2. Approach: High-level strategy
  3. Steps: Ordered, actionable items
  4. Risks: What could go wrong?
  5. Alternatives: What else was considered?

When to Plan

  • Task spans multiple files or modules
  • User explicitly asks for a plan
  • Architecture decisions are needed
  • Breaking changes to existing APIs

Anti-Patterns

  • Planning for trivial tasks (single-file, single-function)
  • Over-planning: more time planning than coding
  • Plan has no action items — just abstract theory
Changes

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.
