trace-first-starter: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/tfw-plan/SKILL.md

tfw-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from saubakirov/trace-first-starter. It costs 45 tokens per session (246 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning command for Trace-First Workflow tasks, which use written high-level and technical planning documents before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or revise task plans and phase specifications when a repository contains the required .tfw workflow files.
Why use it?
It makes the agent load the repository’s required context and stop at the planning stage, preventing unapproved research, coding, or review work.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is saubakirov/trace-first-starter's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on trace-first-starter itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything trace-first-starter configures →

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

tfw-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 2d 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.

What it actually says

/tfw-plan

This repository skill implements the /tfw-plan command.

Contract

  • Treat literal /tfw-plan input as a command. Also accept tfw-plan and matching natural-language requests.
  • Confirm the repository contains .tfw/.
  • Enforce the Coordinator role lock: permit HL and TS; forbid ONB, RF, RES, REVIEW, and code.
  • Read .tfw/workflows/plan.md completely and follow its Read Contract and gates. Root instructions are already active; do not independently preload AGENTS.md or any full common library.
  • Open .tfw/templates/HL.md and .tfw/templates/TS.md only at their workflow gates.
  • Stop when the workflow routes to research, handoff, execution, or review.

When the workflow routes onward, name the exact next command, such as /tfw-research or /tfw-handoff.

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.
