writing-plans

writing-plans is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sergeyklay/.agents. It costs 183 tokens per session (3,901 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An implementation-planning skill that turns a technical request into a small, ordered list of coding tasks with dependencies and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating detailed Markdown plans for implementing features, including where to make changes and how to verify them.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent a precise sequence to follow when a feature request or specification is too broad or ambiguous.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

writing-plans 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_plan.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Writing Implementation Plans

Transform a Technical Specification (or equivalent input) into an atomic, dependency-ordered Implementation Plan. The plan is the contract between architect and implementer: it removes ambiguity about WHAT changes, WHERE it changes, in WHAT ORDER, and HOW each step is verified. The coder agent executes the plan verbatim; ambiguous or oversized steps each produce a class of implementation defect.

This skill is stack-agnostic and project-agnostic. Concrete phase catalogs, layering rules, banned patterns, and verification commands come from the project's architecture document and agent-instruction files, not from this skill. Read those documents first; design within them; flag every deviation explicitly.

Running scripts bundled with this skill

Script paths in this document (e.g. scripts/) are resolved relative to this SKILL.md file, not to your current working directory. If a relative command fails to resolve, prefix it with the path your platform loaded this SKILL.md from.

Fallback. If python3 cannot be located, analyze the script's purpose and logic and execute its intent with available tools, but warn the user that python is not available and the logic was executed with a fallback approach that may not be perfect.

Project context: reading order

These documents are the authority every plan must conform to. Read in this order; skip tiers the project does not ship; do not load files that do not exist.

  1. Agent-instruction files: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md. Boundary rules (often "Always / Ask First / Never"). Quote the rules that constrain this feature.
  2. Documentation index: if docs/ exists, read docs/README.md (or the closest equivalent: docs/index.md, docs/SUMMARY.md, docs/DIGEST.md). Use it as a map.
  3. Architecture and product docs named by the index: architecture.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, design.md, PRD.md, product.md, or whatever name the project uses.
  4. Decision records: docs/decisions/, docs/adr/, adr/, ADR/. Read the index first; read individual records only when they constrain this feature. Accepted decisions are architectural law.
  5. Language and style rules: .agents/rules/, .github/instructions/, .copilot/instructions/, .claude/rules/. Plan-prose requirements (RFC 2119 keywords, banned vocabulary, comment style, naming).
  6. Codebase structure: list the relevant package or module directories. Identify entry points, existing abstractions to reuse, and where new code belongs.

What ships with it

5 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.

writing-plans is a skill published in the GitHub repository sergeyklay/.agents (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 183 tokens to every session and 3,901 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
