development-task-planner

development-task-planner is a skill for Codex from siarhei-belavus/agent-public. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for breaking development work into small, ordered steps with clear outcomes and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning features, refactors, bug fixes, migrations, infrastructure changes, and validation work.
Why use it?
It turns unclear or risky coding tasks into work that another developer can follow and review.

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

development-task-planner 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.

Development Task Planner

Turn ambiguous engineering work into a concrete implementation plan that is safe to execute, easy to review, and easy to evolve. Optimize for low-risk sequencing, clear ownership, explicit validation, and low human cognitive load.

Assume the plan will be followed strictly during implementation unless a human explicitly amends it. Assume the implementation may be executed by a different agent in a fresh context window with no access to the prior conversation, so the plan must be self-sufficient.

Planning Workflow

  1. Establish scope.

    • Clarify the exact task, desired outcome, constraints, and what is out of scope.
    • Identify whether the ask is feature work, refactor, migration, bug fix, infrastructure work, or architecture change.
    • Prefer concrete deliverables over vague goals.
  2. Identify the true change surface.

    • Find the core modules, state transitions, APIs, persistence, and tests that the task will affect.
    • Distinguish direct change points from incidental neighbors.
    • If the task is stateful or lifecycle-heavy, treat restart, retry, cancellation, and recovery as first-class planning concerns.
  3. Define success before steps.

    • State the observable behavior that must be true when the task is done.
    • Define validation early: tests, checks, smoke paths, or user-visible outcomes.
    • Call out unknowns, assumptions, and risks before proposing execution order.
  4. Slice the work into low-risk increments.

    • Prefer increments that keep the system working after each step.
    • Isolate schema/model changes from behavior changes when possible.
    • Separate foundational refactors from product behavior unless combining them is clearly safer.
    • Favor plans that are easy to review and revert.
  5. Plan for amendment, not improvisation.

    • Make it explicit that implementation must stop if the plan becomes unsafe, impossible, or contradicted by the real codebase.
    • Require an amendment flow: surface the blocker, list options, give pros/cons, explain plan impact, and wait for a human decision.
    • If a better but non-essential design appears during implementation, require a REVIEW_NOTE rather than silent deviation.

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.
