topology-planning

topology-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sarveshtalele/mcp-skills-registry. It costs 50 tokens per session (482 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns a summary of an old system into a proposed architecture and a step-by-step migration plan. Migration means moving toward the new design gradually instead of replacing everything at once.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan modernization as microservices, a modular monolith, or serverless systems, including architecture decisions, phases, risks, and mitigations.
Why use it?
It provides an incremental route from the current system to the target design, with decisions and risks documented along the way.

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

topology-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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/main.py, tests/test_skill.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.

What it actually says

topology-planning

Turn a discovery summary into a target architecture and a phased, low-risk migration plan with ADRs.

When to use

After legacy-discovery, when defining the target state. Triggers: target architecture, migration plan, topology, modernization plan.

Inputs

  • discovery_summary (string, required) — summary of the current system.
  • target_style (string, optional) — microservices | modular-monolith | serverless.

Outputs

  • migration_plan_markdown — principles, ADRs, phased plan, risk table.
  • phases — ordered phase objects {id, name, goal}.

How it works

Selects a principle set for the chosen style and assembles a strangler-fig migration across four phases with a risk/mitigation table.

User stories

  • As an architect, I get a defensible target architecture and an incremental path, not a big-bang rewrite.

Edge cases

  • Unknown target_style → defaults to microservices.
  • Empty summary → plan still renders with prompts to fill in.

Files

See DOCS.md.

Files

What ships with it

7 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.
