technical-planning

technical-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from richardcb/oh-my-gemini. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning a product requirements document, or PRD, into a detailed technical implementation plan. The plan is divided into phases and actionable tasks based on the existing codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down a feature, design its data layer and later phases, identify files and patterns to reuse, and prepare implementation tasks from a PRD.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of missing requirements, failure cases, shared code, or project conventions before implementation begins.

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

technical-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 9d 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.

Technical Planning Skill

Goal

Create a detailed, step-by-step technical plan in Markdown format, based on an existing Product Requirements Document (PRD). The plan must be a clear, actionable guide for implementation.

Activation Triggers

  • User has a PRD and wants to create a technical plan
  • User asks to "plan", "break down", or "create tasks" for a feature
  • After PRD creation, before implementation begins

Process

1. Receive PRD Reference

The user provides a specific PRD file or feature name.

2. Load Context

# Find the PRD
find . -name "*prd*.md" | head -10

# Read project tech stack
cat conductor/tech-stack.md 2>/dev/null || cat GEMINI.md 2>/dev/null | head -50

# Check existing patterns
find src -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" 2>/dev/null | head -20

3. Analyze PRD & Codebase

Read the PRD's:

  • Functional requirements
  • User stories
  • Business invariants
  • Failure states

Review the codebase for:

  • Architectural patterns
  • Existing similar features
  • Shared components to reuse
  • Files that need modification

4. Structure the Plan

Break down into logical phases following this order:

Phase 1: Data Layer (Foundation)
  • Database schema changes
  • Migrations
  • Shared TypeScript types
  • Why first: Data structures must exist before code references them
Phase 2: Backend API
  • API endpoints
  • Validation (Zod schemas)
  • Error handling
  • Why second: Backend must work before frontend can consume it
Phase 3: Frontend Implementation
  • React components
  • State management
  • UI integration
  • Why third: Connect UI to working APIs
Phase 4: Review & Finalize
  • Verification against PRD
  • Testing (unit, integration, E2E)
  • Documentation updates

5. Apply AI Guardrails

Every plan must include mitigations for common AI-generated issues:

Resource Efficiency

For any data-fetching task, include sub-tasks for:

  • Batching multiple requests
  • Pagination for large datasets
  • Caching where appropriate
  • Avoiding N+1 query patterns

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.

technical-planning is a skill published in the GitHub repository richardcb/oh-my-gemini (16 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 2,093 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
