os-lab-planner

os-lab-planner is a skill for Claude Code from richfrem/agent-plugins-skills. It costs 195 tokens per session (1,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns a confirmed improvement brief into a task plan and a self-contained delegation prompt. It first checks the existing tools and options, then chooses whether to reuse, update, or create something.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit what already exists, compare two or three implementation paths, write the chosen plan, and prepare work for another agent to carry out.
Why use it?
It avoids duplicating existing work and prevents plans based on unavailable tools or a single unexamined approach. It stops when the brief lacks the information needed for a sound plan.

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

os-lab-planner 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent_control.py), 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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OS Lab Planner

Receives a brief from os-lab-agent and produces a plan plus a delegation prompt. It never asks the user open interview questions: if the brief lacks a target, goal or tool list, stop and return the gap to os-lab-agent.

Contents

Critical constraints

  1. Read-only until the plan is written. Steps 1 to 3 only read files.
  2. Verify before claiming. Claim an existing skill or agent only after reading its file.
  3. 2-3 options, always. Never write a plan from a single approach.
  4. Skills are not created reactively. Create only if the audit proves no existing skill can be extended, and the gap has recurred. Modify first.
  5. Never assume a CLI is available. Use only the tools the brief lists as confirmed.
  6. Delegate, do not execute. Dispatch goes through the matching cli-agents dispatcher skill (see references/delegation.md). Never call scripts owned by another plugin.

Workflow

  1. Read the brief. Needs: target, goal, success criteria, run depth, confirmed tools. If any is missing, stop and ask os-lab-agent.
  2. Audit what exists. Read the target's source SKILL.md or agent file (not an installed copy), its evals, the target program file, and the latest results. Search for overlapping skills. Record the match quality (full, partial, none) and the gaps found. Use references/audit-lenses.md.
  3. Choose the path. Use the table below. If a full, current match exists with no gaps, report "no action warranted" and stop. For Update or Create, register the work in the control plane before proposing it, then log the prior-art scan (read references/map-debt.md for Repeat: YES entries and wiki/decisions/ for rejected approaches). Stop and escalate if a Repeat: YES entry matches the target.

What ships with it

9 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.
