prd-to-plan

prd-to-plan is a skill for Claude Code from softspark/ai-toolkit. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,214 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning process that turns a product requirements document, or PRD, into phased implementation steps built around complete, working slices of the feature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a codebase, identify lasting architecture decisions, draft vertical-slice phases, and save the plan as a Markdown file.
Why use it?
It helps connect product requirements to the existing architecture and makes a large project easier to implement in stages.

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

prd-to-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 7d 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.

PRD to Plan

$ARGUMENTS

Break a PRD into a phased implementation plan using vertical slices (tracer bullets). Output is a Markdown file in ./plans/.

Usage

/prd-to-plan [PRD issue number or description]

What This Command Does

  1. Loads the PRD (from GitHub issue or conversation)
  2. Explores the codebase to understand architecture
  3. Identifies durable architectural decisions
  4. Drafts vertical slices (tracer bullets)
  5. Quizzes user on granularity
  6. Writes plan file to ./plans/

Process

1. Confirm PRD is in Context

If not provided, ask for the PRD GitHub issue number or content. Fetch with gh issue view <number> if needed.

2. Explore the Codebase

Use Agent (subagent_type=Explore) to understand current architecture, existing patterns, and integration layers.

3. Identify Durable Architectural Decisions

Before slicing, identify decisions unlikely to change:

  • Route structures / URL patterns
  • Database schema shape
  • Key data models
  • Authentication / authorization approach
  • Third-party service boundaries

4. Draft Vertical Slices

Break PRD into tracer bullet phases. Each phase is a thin vertical slice cutting through ALL layers end-to-end.

Rule Description
Complete path Each slice delivers narrow but COMPLETE path through every layer (schema, API, UI, tests)
Demoable A completed slice is demoable or verifiable on its own
Thin over thick Prefer many thin slices over few thick ones
Durable Do NOT include file names, function names, or implementation details likely to change
Include decisions DO include durable decisions: route paths, schema shapes, data model names

5. Quiz the User

Present breakdown as numbered list. For each phase show:

  • Title: short descriptive name
  • User stories covered: which stories from the PRD

Ask:

  • Does the granularity feel right? (too coarse / too fine)
  • Should any phases be merged or split?

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.
