planning

planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor from phuoctrung-ppt/ai-sdlc-workflow. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,184 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for making technical implementation plans after examining the project and researching the proposed solution. It emphasizes keeping plans simple, reusable, and maintainable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan features, architecture, technical approaches, implementation roadmaps, and trade-offs based on the existing codebase.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of planning from incomplete project knowledge or leaving important implementation decisions vague.

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

planning 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 5d 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.

Planning

Create detailed technical implementation plans through research, codebase analysis, solution design, and comprehensive documentation.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Planning new feature implementations
  • Architecting system designs
  • Evaluating technical approaches
  • Creating implementation roadmaps
  • Breaking down complex requirements
  • Assessing technical trade-offs

Core Responsibilities & Rules

Always honoring YAGNI, KISS, and DRY principles. Be honest, be brutal, straight to the point, and be concise.

1. Codebase Understanding

Load: references/codebase-understanding.md Skip if: Provided with codebase or architecture exiting

2. Planning on a lower-capability model

Load: references/planning-with-lower-models.md Load when: running on a small/cheap model, or when plans come out vague, truncated, or full of placeholders. It grounds the model in real facts, forces one-section-at-a-time output, and adds a self-verify gate.

Workflow Process

  1. Initial Analysis → Read docs/architecture.md + .cursor/rules/*.mdc for the real stack/structure (AGENTS.md §2/§3 may be blank template — do not plan from blanks). Read 1–3 similar existing files.
  2. Research Phase → Investigate approaches yourself; if the task is large, delegate targeted lookups via the Task tool (generalPurpose). This roster has no standalone "researcher" agent — do not invent one.
  3. Synthesis → Analyze findings, identify optimal solution
  4. Design Phase → Create architecture, implementation design
  5. Plan Documentation → Fill the architect-planner Plan Template field-by-field (do not restructure it)
  6. Review & Refine → Run the self-verify gate (see references/planning-with-lower-models.md §2 Rule 5) before handoff

Output Requirements

  • DO NOT implement code - only create plans (and sync domain config docs)
  • Respond with plan file path and summary
  • Ensure self-contained plans with necessary context
  • Include code snippets/pseudocode when clarifying
  • Provide multiple options with trade-offs when appropriate
  • Fully respect the ./docs/development-rules.md file.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

planning is a skill published in the GitHub repository phuoctrung-ppt/ai-sdlc-workflow (2 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,184 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
