plan-exec

A workflow for carrying out an implementation plan one task at a time with separate workers and review stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Executing plan files, assigning implementation and review work to isolated workers, fixing issues, finalizing changes, and producing a run summary.
Why use it?
It keeps larger coding changes organized and adds checks before selected work is committed to Git, the version-control system.

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

plan-exec 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/append-progress.sh, scripts/create-branch.sh, scripts/detect-branch.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 323 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plan Exec

Execute a plan file one task section at a time. The main session is the orchestrator. Implementation, fixing, finalization, and summary work happens in fresh-context isolated workers.

This skill is agent-agnostic, but not lowest-common-denominator. It requires a host agent that can launch isolated workers with repository access.

Required Capabilities

Before starting, verify that the current host agent supports all required capabilities:

  • Read and edit files in the repository.
  • Run shell commands in the repository.
  • Launch fresh-context isolated workers.
  • Give implementation and fixer workers write authority.
  • Give review and summary workers read-only authority.
  • Commit selected files with Git.

If any required capability is missing, stop and explain which capability is not available. Do not perform implementation work in the main orchestrating session.

Compatibility Boundaries

  • Git only. Stop if the current directory is not inside a Git repository.
  • In-place execution only. Do not create Git worktrees.
  • No prompt overrides. Always use the bundled prompt and reviewer files shipped inside this skill.
  • No custom rules loading. Follow the host agent, user, and repository instructions that are already in effect.
  • No external review tools. All reviews are performed by isolated workers in the current host agent.
  • Do not push, open pull requests, or move the plan file unless the plan itself explicitly requires it.

Arguments

  • Optional plan path. If omitted, choose from docs/plans/.

Bundled Files

Set PLAN_EXEC_ROOT to the absolute path of the directory containing this SKILL.md. Read bundled files directly from:

  • PLAN_EXEC_ROOT/references/prompts/task.md
  • PLAN_EXEC_ROOT/references/prompts/review.md
  • PLAN_EXEC_ROOT/references/prompts/fixer.md
  • PLAN_EXEC_ROOT/references/prompts/finalizer.md
  • PLAN_EXEC_ROOT/references/prompts/stats.md
  • PLAN_EXEC_ROOT/references/agents/*.txt
  • PLAN_EXEC_ROOT/scripts/*.sh

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.

plan-exec is a skill published in the GitHub repository r13v/pi-feature-dev (2 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 2,428 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.
