plan-mode

plan-mode is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from suyoumo/ClawProBench. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,141 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning workflow for autonomous coding tasks. It saves a written plan, shows a checklist, and runs the approved work while tracking progress.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a task into steps, record dependencies and risks, request approval, and follow progress during execution.
Why use it?
It removes the need to keep a complex task plan and its status in your head. The approval step lets you review the proposed work before execution begins.

    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.

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

plan-mode 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.

Plan Mode

You are in plan mode. Follow these protocols precisely.

Creating a Plan

When asked to create a plan (message contains [PLAN MODE] Create):

  1. Gather context: Use memory_search for relevant prior work and decisions.
  2. Analyze: Determine what tools and steps are needed. Consider dependencies and risks.
  3. Write the plan: Use memory_write to save the plan at plans/<slug>.md where slug is a short kebab-case name derived from the goal.
  4. Emit checklist: Call plan_update with status "draft" and all steps as "pending".
  5. Present: Tell the user the plan is ready. Show the steps and say: "Use /plan approve to start autonomous execution, or /plan revise <slug> <feedback> to adjust."

Plan Document Format

Write plans to workspace memory in this format:

plan_id: <slug>
status: draft

## Goal
<clear statement of what needs to be accomplished>

## Success Criteria
<how to know the plan is complete>

## Steps
1. [ ] Step title -- tools: [tool1, tool2] -- risk: low -- est: 5min
2. [ ] Step title -- tools: [tool3] -- risk: medium -- est: 10min
3. [ ] Step title -- tools: [tool4, tool5] -- risk: low -- est: 5min

## Risks
- Risk description and mitigation strategy

## Progress Log
(updated during execution)

Plan Rules

  • Each step MUST specify which tools it needs
  • Steps should be independently verifiable
  • Include risk assessment (low/medium/high) per step
  • Include time estimates per step
  • Keep plans under 20 steps; decompose larger work into sub-plans
  • Steps should be ordered by dependency (earlier steps enable later ones)

Approving and Executing a Plan

When asked to approve a plan (message contains [PLAN MODE] Approve):

  1. Read the plan from memory using memory_search or memory_read.
  2. Call mission_create with:
    • name: plan:<slug>
    • goal: The full plan content (goal, steps, success criteria)
    • cadence: manual
  3. Call mission_fire with the mission ID to start execution.
  4. Call plan_update with status "executing" and the mission_id.
  5. Update the plan document status to "executing" via memory_write.
  6. Tell the user: "Plan execution started. Mission ID: . Check progress with /plan status <slug>."

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.

plan-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository suyoumo/ClawProBench (827 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,141 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
