planning

planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from srstomp/pokayokay. It costs 42 tokens per session (819 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide that turns product requirements documents, which describe what a product should do, into an implementation plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize work into epics, stories, and tasks, identify unclear requirements, and track the plan with project and kanban files.
Why use it?
It breaks broad requirements into smaller work items and records their dependencies and estimates.

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

planning 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.

PRD Analyzer & Implementation Planner

Transform product requirements into actionable implementation plans with visual kanban tracking.

When NOT to Use

  • Revising an existing plan — Use plan-revision for modifying task hierarchies or scope changes
  • Starting implementation — Use work-session to begin executing tasks from a plan
  • Quick one-off tasks — Use /quick for tasks that don't need epic/story/task hierarchy
  • Investigating feasibility — Use spike for time-boxed technical investigation before committing to a plan

Key Principles

  • Plan state lives in ohno (.ohno/, epics → stories → tasks managed via MCP tools/CLI); .claude/PROJECT.md holds the project overview
  • Break work into epic → story → task hierarchy (tasks ≤ 8h each)
  • Assign skills to features based on type (api-design, database-design, etc.)
  • Flag ambiguities before planning — don't assume unclear requirements

Quick Start Checklist

  1. Read the full PRD/brief document
  2. Extract goals, features, constraints, and dependencies
  3. Classify priorities (P0-P3) and flag ambiguities
  4. Break features into epics → stories → tasks with estimates
  5. Create the epic/story/task hierarchy in ohno via MCP tools and write .claude/PROJECT.md
  6. Identify first skill to run and hand off

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.
