gepetto

gepetto is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from softaworks/agent-toolkit. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,583 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gepetto, MIT.

A planning workflow that turns a feature idea into a detailed, sectioned implementation plan through research, interviews, specification writing, and review by other AI models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze a Markdown specification, gather stakeholder answers, synthesize requirements, write a plan, and obtain an external review.
Why use it?
It helps uncover requirements and design decisions before coding begins, especially for larger features.

About the project

Softaworks Agent Toolkit is a collection of packaged instructions, scripts, agents, and commands that give AI coding assistants reusable procedures for development, documentation, planning, and professional work. Developers install its components individually in compatible coding-agent environments; catalogue entries represent parts of this toolkit.

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

gepetto 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 1mo 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 — 346 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Gepetto

Orchestrates a multi-step planning process: Research → Interview → Spec Synthesis → Plan → External Review → Sections

CRITICAL: First Actions

BEFORE anything else, do these in order:

1. Print Intro

Print intro banner immediately:

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
GEPETTO: AI-Assisted Implementation Planning
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Research → Interview → Spec Synthesis → Plan → External Review → Sections

Note: GEPETTO will write many .md files to the planning directory you pass it

2. Validate Spec File Input

Check if user provided @file at invocation AND it's a spec file (ends with .md).

If NO @file was provided OR the path doesn't end with .md, output this and STOP:

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
GEPETTO: Spec File Required
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

This skill requires a markdown spec file path (must end with .md).
The planning directory is inferred from the spec file's parent directory.

To start a NEW plan:
  1. Create a markdown spec file describing what you want to build
  2. It can be as detailed or as vague as you like
  3. Place it in a directory where gepetto can save planning files
  4. Run: /gepetto @path/to/your-spec.md

To RESUME an existing plan:
  1. Run: /gepetto @path/to/your-spec.md

Example: /gepetto @planning/my-feature-spec.md
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Do not continue. Wait for user to re-invoke with a .md file path.

3. Setup Planning Session

Determine session state by checking existing files:

  1. Set planning_dir = parent directory of the spec file
  2. Set initial_file = the spec file path
  3. Scan for existing planning files:
    • claude-research.md
    • claude-interview.md
    • claude-spec.md
    • claude-plan.md
    • claude-integration-notes.md
    • claude-ralph-loop-prompt.md
    • claude-ralphy-prd.md
    • reviews/ directory
    • sections/ directory

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.
