delivery-plan

delivery-plan is a skill for Claude Code from rpraharaj/forward-deployed-engineer. It costs 95 tokens per session (1,979 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning method for deciding the order of software work after feasibility and estimates exist. It puts uncertain or high-risk work first and divides the result into independently shippable pieces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Sequence releases, surface dependencies on other teams, plan around deadlines, replan after changes, and state what would cause the proposed order to change.
Why use it?
It exposes facts that could invalidate the plan early, when changing course is cheaper. It also makes dependencies and conditions for replanning explicit.

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

delivery-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 8d 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.

Delivery plan

The order of work, and what would change it.

Why this exists

Most plans are sequenced by convenience: easiest first, or in the order the requirements were written. That feels productive and it systematically defers the moment you discover the plan was wrong.

The alternative is to sequence by risk, so the things most likely to invalidate the plan happen first. It feels slower in week one and it is dramatically cheaper, because a plan that breaks in week one can be re-planned while everyone still has options. The same break in week six is a crisis.

For an FDE there's a second reason. Your credibility rests on being predictable. Delivering something small early, then re-planning honestly when a fact changes, builds more trust than a confident plan that holds until it collapses.

When this applies

  • Feasibility and estimation exist and someone wants a sequence
  • Replanning after a slip or a changed fact
  • A plan exists but nobody has said what would invalidate it
  • Work spans multiple teams or a release window

When it doesn't

  • A single change with no meaningful sequencing decision
  • Feasibility hasn't been done — the plan would be fiction
  • The question is sizing, not order — that's estimation

Prerequisites

  • .fde/04-feasibility.md — shapes, sites, deceptive costs
  • .fde/05b-estimate.md — sizing, if it exists
  • .fde/06-blast-radius-*.md — coordination needs
  • .fde/00b-access.md — blocked access is a dependency with a lead time
  • .fde/08b-change-control.mdthe calendar and gates. If missing, offer change-control-navigation; do not invent CAB dates. If you proceed anyway, every window is [unverified].

Procedure

1. Rank by what could invalidate the plan

For each piece of work, ask: if this goes badly, how much of the rest changes?

Highest-risk-first means putting these early, regardless of size:

  • Every [unverified] item from feasibility
  • Anything depending on another team's answer or work
  • Anything touching a published contract or shared data
  • Anything you've never done in this organization — including the first deploy, which is a risk in itself
  • Anything with a long lead time, even if it's needed late

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.
