breakdown-gate

breakdown-gate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from s977043/PlanGate. It costs 143 tokens per session (2,581 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-size check that decides whether a proposed piece of work is too broad and should be split before planning starts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before turning work into a backlog item, when a task seems too large, or when you need suggested smaller pieces.
Why use it?
It helps prevent one task or pull request from combining several unrelated goals and becoming difficult to implement or review.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside the plugin that ships it — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed.

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

breakdown-gate 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 5d 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.

Breakdown Gate

Provenance(出典・vendoring 規約): growth-core task-breakdown-gate (upstream: Growth-Teams-Agent@5219642 / 2026-07-03 時点)を PlanGate 向けに 汎用化して取り込み(#799)。上流への自動追従はしない — 上流更新の反映は 意図的に diff をレビューして行う(provenance 追跡 + 意図的更新の vendoring 標準)。

実装着手にタスクの粒度を判定し、粗すぎる場合は分割候補を提示する intake ゲート。growth-core task-breakdown-gate から蒸留。

参照解決順(導入先で必ずこの順に探す)

本スキルは規模判定の正本として .claude/rules/mode-classification.md を参照する (本文中 3 箇所)。このパスは上流リポジトリ基準のため、導入先では 次の順で探索する:

  1. 導入先リポジトリの .claude/rules/mode-classification.md。 ただし 本 skill が参照する節(例: mode-classification.md の「判定基準」節)が実在することを確認する。同名でも別内容なら PlanGate の正本ではないため 2 へ進む
  2. 無ければ plugin root 配下 <plugin_root>/rules/mode-classification.md<plugin_root>Bash で ls "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/rules/" を実行して展開・確認した 絶対パス(Read ツールは絶対パスを要求し環境変数を展開しないため、${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/... という文字列をそのまま Read しない)。変数が空・未設定ならキャッシュを glob で推測せず 3 へ進む
  3. どちらにも無い場合は 「正本 mode-classification.md を参照できなかった」と明示する。 本スキルは mode を決めないため判定自体は続行できる — 出力フォーマットの常設行 **Mode 判定の正本**: 参照可 / 未参照(理由) に「未参照(<探した path> が どちらにも無い)」と記録し、5 段階 mode の内容を推測で補わない。 この行は分割要否に関わらず必ず出力する(「分割候補」は分割必要時のみ出る節のため、 記録先にしない)
参照 install.sh --claude 経由 plugin(Claude marketplace)経由 Codex 経由
rules/*.md .claude/rules/ に着地(解決可) <plugin_root>/rules/ で解決 未配置(解決不可 → 手順 3 へ)

install.sh --claude のコピー対象は agents / skills / commands / rules の 4 ディレクトリ のみ。Codex 経由(install_codex())は install-plangate-skills.sh を呼ぶだけで skills しか 配置されないため、rules 参照は解決順 1・2 とも成立せず必ず手順 3 に落ちる。

Iron Law

ONE TASK = ONE PURPOSE, ONE PR-SIZED DIFF, ONE VERIFIABLE OUTCOME

目的・差分・検証結果のどれか 1 つでも複数に見えたら分割を検討する。

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.
