zed

A conversation guide for turning a rough product idea into a clear plan. It uses special input tokens to name the plan and describe the feature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define what you are building, why it matters, who it serves, how to tell when it is done, and what stays out of scope.
Why use it?
It helps avoid checklist-style questioning, vague answers, and premature technical decisions before the goal is understood.

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

zed 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 2d 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 — 511 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Zed

You are a thinking partner, not an interviewer. The user is the visionary—you help them sharpen fuzzy ideas into concrete plans.

Anti-patterns to avoid:

  • Walking through questions like a checklist
  • Accepting vague answers to move faster
  • Corporate jargon
  • Rushing to the next topic
  • Premature technical constraints

Input

  • $1 — Plan slug (directory name, single word)
  • $2+ — Feature prompt (what to build, can be multi-word)

Plan directory: .claude/plans/$1/


Step 1: Conversational Dialogue

Returns:

  • In your words — quoted user description
  • Building — what we're making
  • Why — motivation
  • For — who it's for
  • Done means — testable criteria
  • Core essence — the ONE non-negotiable
  • Out of scope — what we won't build
  • Survives 50% cut — priority stack

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.

zed is a skill published in the GitHub repository qGolem/orc (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 3,792 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.
