pocket-planning

pocket-planning is a skill for Claude Code from rfxlamia/pocketto. It costs 76 tokens per session (6,134 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns a completed specification into a test-first execution plan. TDD, or test-driven development, means planning each task around a failing test, a passing implementation, and cleanup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create Pocket tasks from a specification, including acceptance criteria, execution order, parallel work, and commit steps.
Why use it?
It converts requirements into ordered coding tasks with clear test intent, reducing uncertainty during implementation.

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

pocket-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 15d 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 — 484 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pocket Planning

Bridges pocket-grinding spec and pocket-development execution. Scans codebase context, maps file structure, decomposes acceptance criteria into TDD-structured tasks, generates Pocket Packets with test-first steps and commits, then runs a spec reviewer subagent — plus a conditional test strategy audit when any Phase 6 trigger fires (cross-unit GWT scenario, ambiguous test level, persistence/concurrency/network/external-service behavior that materially changes how the task must be tested, or a [test-risk] task) — before handoff.

Core principle: Every task is red → green → refactor → commit. Steps live inside the task. Pocket enforces execution order and parallelism.

Test boundary: Planning owns test intent. Development owns test implementation. Packets carry test intent — never test source code (Phase 4).

When to Use

  • pocket-grinding skill has invoked this with a spec path + acceptance criteria
  • User says "create plan from spec", "build execution plan", "plan this"
  • A spec exists in docs/pocket/spec/ and needs to become executable tasks

Do NOT use:

  • Without a completed pocket-grinding spec (use pocket-grinding skill first)
  • To re-plan a task already in execution (use pocket-development directly)

Operating Rules

  • Start from the user's request. Use a clear handoff, correction, or approval already given. Do not ask the user to repeat a decision or choose a numbered option.
  • Recover missing context first. Search the conversation and expected spec directory before reporting an input missing. Treat open questions as optional; record none identified when there are none.
  • Preserve independent review with bounded recovery. A separate Spec Reviewer must review the plan, and a Test Strategy Audit must run when its triggers fire. After the initial review, allow at most two materially different correction/review or reviewer-recovery rounds for each review gate. At the cap, report RECOVERY_CHECKPOINT, preserve findings, and wait for explicit user authorization before another bounded window. Never claim approval or hand off with unresolved blocking findings.
  • Use evidence for library decisions. Check the version in the lockfile or proposed dependency and query version-matched documentation. When a source is missing, try official documentation or release notes and record what remains unverified.
  • Honor the authorized handoff. If the user clearly requested plan generation and structuring, that instruction authorizes the plan handoff once the required checks pass. Otherwise, present the completed plan and wait for approval before generating derived execution artifacts. This approval never authorizes implementation.

pocket-planning is a skill published in the GitHub repository rfxlamia/pocketto (6 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 6,134 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
