task-plan

task-plan is a skill for Claude Code from shawnclybor/clybor-claude-tooling. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,088 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for breaking an accepted product requirements document, or PRD, into a sequenced checklist of implementation tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a PRD is accepted to create a task list before implementation begins.
Why use it?
It turns broad requirements into small, focused pieces of work linked to the conditions for success.

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

task-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 4d 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.

Task Plan

Turn an accepted PRD into a flat, sequenced task list with checkboxes. The plan is the contract between the PRD and the implementation. Tasks too big = invisible progress; tasks too small = ceremonial overhead. Aim for one-focused-pass per task.

When to use

  • Right after a PRD is written and accepted
  • When picking up an existing PRD that lacks a plan
  • When re-planning after a Stage 6 evaluation surfaces structural issues

Input

  • prd_path — path to the PRD (e.g., docs/PRDs/oauth-token-refresh.md)

Output

docs/PRDs/<feature_slug>-plan.md, copied from templates/plan-template.md and filled in. Sections:

  1. Tasks — checkbox list with Touches, Verifies, Check, Notes per task
  2. Parallelizable groups — which tasks can run concurrently
  3. Risks per task

Sizing rules

Each task should pass these checks:

  1. One-pass completable — ≤ 2 hours of focused work
  2. Single responsibility — advances one concern; does not bundle unrelated changes
  3. Independent where possible — runs in parallel with siblings when safe
  4. Tied to a criterion — advances at least one PRD success criterion
  5. Testable in isolation — there is a check (unit test, integration test, smoke) that confirms this task alone is done

If a task fails any of these, split it.

Parallelizable-group analysis

After the flat task list is drafted, invoke task-distributor to produce the parallelizable-group section. It applies the safety rules:

  • No shared write target between parallel tasks
  • No read-after-write dependencies between parallel tasks
  • No contended shared resources (DB row, rate limit, file lock)

Take the task-distributor output verbatim into the plan's "Parallelizable groups" section. The ralph-implement skill at Stage 4 reads this section to spawn parallel work.

Common decomposition patterns

PRD shape Plan shape
New feature Schema → API → client → tests → docs
Refactor Add new path → migrate callers in batches → remove old path
Integration Contract / types → happy path → error paths → retries → observability
Bug fix Reproduce → narrow → fix → regression test
Migration Backup → write new state alongside old → verify equivalence → switch reads → drop old

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.
