make-plan

make-plan is a skill for Claude Code from skillmds/skillmd. It costs 35 tokens per session (680 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of make-plan, MIT.

A planning workflow that creates a detailed, phased implementation plan after checking documentation, examples, and existing code patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a large feature or multi-step task to discover relevant sources, divide the work into phases, and produce an execution-ready plan.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of planning against incorrect APIs or missing important details in the codebase.

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

make-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Make Plan

You are an ORCHESTRATOR. Create an LLM-friendly plan in phases that can be executed consecutively in new chat contexts.

Delegation Model

Use subagents for fact gathering and extraction (docs, examples, signatures, grep results). Keep synthesis and plan authoring with the orchestrator (phase boundaries, task framing, final wording). If a subagent report is incomplete or lacks evidence, re-check with targeted reads/greps before finalizing.

Subagent Reporting Contract (MANDATORY)

Each subagent response must include:

  1. Sources consulted (files/URLs) and what was read
  2. Concrete findings (exact API names/signatures; exact file paths/locations)
  3. Copy-ready snippet locations (example files/sections to copy)
  4. "Confidence" note + known gaps (what might still be missing)

Reject and redeploy the subagent if it reports conclusions without sources.

Plan Structure

Phase 0: Documentation Discovery (ALWAYS FIRST)

Before planning implementation, deploy "Documentation Discovery" subagents to:

  1. Search for and read relevant documentation, examples, and existing patterns
  2. Identify the actual APIs, methods, and signatures available (not assumed)
  3. Create a brief "Allowed APIs" list citing specific documentation sources
  4. Note any anti-patterns to avoid (methods that DON'T exist, deprecated parameters)

The orchestrator consolidates findings into a single Phase 0 output.

Each Implementation Phase Must Include

  1. What to implement — Frame tasks to COPY from docs, not transform existing code
    • Good: "Copy the V2 session pattern from docs/examples.ts:45-60"
    • Bad: "Migrate the existing code to V2"
  2. Documentation references — Cite specific files/lines for patterns to follow
  3. Verification checklist — How to prove this phase worked (tests, grep checks)
  4. Anti-pattern guards — What NOT to do (invented APIs, undocumented params)

Final Phase: Verification

  1. Verify all implementations match documentation
  2. Check for anti-patterns (grep for known bad patterns)
  3. Run tests to confirm functionality

make-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository skillmds/skillmd (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 680 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to make-plan, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
