p4-plan-pipeline

p4-plan-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from perforce/p4plan-mcp. It costs 81 tokens per session (3,995 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to P4 Plan pipelines, which turn stages in a workflow into child work items under a parent item. It explains how to read those stages, break work down, record defects, and move the work forward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect pipeline stages, create or understand pipeline tasks, break backlog work into smaller items, log defects, and advance pipeline work.
Why use it?
It prevents pipeline-created tasks from being confused with ordinary breakdown items or status changes. That distinction matters when deciding which actions and fields apply.

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

p4-plan-pipeline 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 24d 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.

Pipelines in P4 Plan

A pipeline (PipelineWorkflow) is a template of stages. Unlike a status workflow, which moves a single item through states, a pipeline materialises real child items — one per stage — under the item it is set on. Several stages can be active at once.

Those children are called pipeline tasks. They are ordinary items in the item tree, not a separate item type, which is why most tools work on them normally and why nothing in a tool response labels them as "pipeline tasks".

The three item roles

get_tasks answers this directly. createdFromWorkflow is the authoritative test for a pipeline task — do not infer the role from which fields happen to be null.

Role createdFromWorkflow canHaveWorkflowType workflow
Carrier — the item the pipeline is set on false Both the PipelineWorkflow {id, name}
Pipeline task — an auto-created stage true StatusWorkflowOnly or None null, unless a workflow was set on it
Breakdown child — created under a stage false Both the stage's configured StatusWorkflow

createdFromWorkflow is the authoritative test: it is true only when the item has a linked pipeline task and the workflow object that created it is still valid.

canHaveWorkflowType is a corroborating signal, not an equivalent one. It branches on the creating workflow object alone, without the linked-pipeline-task condition, so the two can disagree — an item whose linked pipeline task is gone but whose creating workflow object is still valid reports createdFromWorkflow: false and a non-Both canHaveWorkflowType. When they disagree, believe createdFromWorkflow for the role and canHaveWorkflowType for whether a workflow can be set.

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.
