plan

plan is a skill for Claude Code from rjmurillo/ai-agents. It costs 89 tokens per session (3,840 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning step that turns an approved software specification into milestones, dependencies, and ways to reduce risk. A specification is a written description of what should be built and how success will be checked.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a specification to plan implementation milestones for a feature or project.
Why use it?
It prevents work from being broken into tasks before the problem and acceptance criteria are clear. It also checks existing code before proposing new work.

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 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 4d 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.

Plan

Turn a gated spec into milestones and atomic tasks: what ships in what order, what blocks what, what fails first, and what is explicitly out of scope.

Migrated from .claude/commands/plan.md under ADR-064, which makes skills the single user-invocable surface.

Triggers

plan how to build this, break this into milestones, decompose this spec, plan this work

If you arrived here without a spec, run the front-gate first

Planning a spec that was never gated manufactures work. If there is no /spec output for this work (no requirement, no design, no testable acceptance criteria), do not decompose it into milestones yet. Run spec first: it applies the front gate (the six forcing questions, the front-gate-before-pipeline pattern) and confirms a named blocked user, a documented status quo, and a concrete observation before any downstream step runs. Return here once the spec exists.

Skip this only when the user explicitly asks to plan an ungated idea and accepts that trade-off.

Plan: $ARGUMENTS

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, check for recent spec output in the conversation. If none is found, ask what to plan rather than inferring it.

Process

  1. Read the spec or issue.

  2. Map sub-problems to existing code. What already exists? Use Grep and Glob to verify rather than assuming.

    Bound the search. If three tool calls have not surfaced anything useful, stop searching and switch to first-principles reasoning. Document what you tried (which tool, what query, what came back) so the user can extend the search if the answer matters more than your time budget suggests.

  3. Task(subagent_type="milestone-planner"): You are a project planner. Break the spec into milestones with clear exit criteria. Each milestone is independently shippable. Sequence by dependencies. Flag parallel opportunities.

  4. Task(subagent_type="task-decomposer"): You are a work breakdown specialist. Decompose each milestone into atomic tasks. Each task is independently verifiable with a clear done definition. Size by complexity (S/M/L), not time.

  5. Skill(skill="execution-plans") to persist the plan as a versioned artifact.

  6. Task(subagent_type="analyst"): You are a risk analyst. Run a pre-mortem on this plan. What fails first? What dependencies are fragile? What assumptions are untested?

  7. Task(subagent_type="critic"): You are a plan reviewer. Validate: is scope complete? Can tasks execute in the stated sequence? Are estimates credible? Is anything missing?

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository rjmurillo/ai-agents (48 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 3,840 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-05.
