A guide for carrying out a task plan stored in a Markdown file, a plain-text document format, while tracking each task's status.

In plain words

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

execute-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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Execute Plan

Execute structured task plans with automatic status tracking and progress updates.

Commitment to Completion

When a plan is provided, all tasks in the plan must be completed. Before starting execution, recite:

"I will execute this plan to completion. All the 20 tasks will be addressed and marked as DONE."

Execution Steps

STEP 1: Recite the commitment to complete all tasks in the plan.

STEP 2: Read the entire plan file to identify pending tasks based on task_status.

STEP 3: Announce the next pending task and update its status to IN_PROGRESS in the plan file.

STEP 4: Execute all actions required to complete the task and mark the task status to DONE in the plan file.

STEP 5: Repeat from Step 3 until all tasks are marked as DONE.

STEP 6: Re-read the plan file to verify all tasks are completed before announcing completion.

Task Status Format

Use these status indicators in the plan file:

[ ]: PENDING
[~]: IN_PROGRESS
[x]: DONE
[!]: FAILED

Example Usage

  1. User provides: "Execute plan at plans/2025-11-23-refactor-auth-v1.md"
  2. Recite commitment: "I will execute this plan to completion..."
  3. Read the plan file
  4. Find first [ ] (PENDING) task
  5. Update to [~] (IN_PROGRESS)
  6. Execute the task
  7. Update to [x] (DONE)
  8. Move to next PENDING task
  9. Repeat until all tasks appear DONE
  10. Re-read plan file to verify completion
  11. Announce completion

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.
