Getting it into your agent
There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00056 | $0.01994 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00997 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00399 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00199 |
Grade A, and why
planning-with-files 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 9d 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.
This is a copy
89% identical to planning-with-files — 16 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 257 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Planning with Files
Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."
FIRST: Check for Previous Session (v2.2.0)
Before starting work, check for unsynced context from a previous session:
# Linux/macOS
$(command -v python3 || command -v python) ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"
# Windows PowerShell
& (Get-Command python -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Source "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\planning-with-files\scripts\session-catchup.py" (Get-Location)
If catchup report shows unsynced context:
- Run
git diff --statto see actual code changes - Read current planning files
- Update planning files based on catchup + git diff
- Then proceed with task
Important: Where Files Go
- Templates are in
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/ - Your planning files go in your project directory
| Location | What Goes There |
|---|---|
Skill directory (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/) |
Templates, scripts, reference docs |
| Your project directory | task_plan.md, findings.md, progress.md |
Quick Start
Before ANY complex task:
- Create
task_plan.md— Use templates/task_plan.md as reference - Create
findings.md— Use templates/findings.md as reference - Create
progress.md— Use templates/progress.md as reference - Re-read plan before decisions — Refreshes goals in attention window
- Update after each phase — Mark complete, log errors
Note: Planning files go in your project root, not the skill installation folder.
The Core Pattern
Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
→ Anything important gets written to disk.
File Purposes
| File | Purpose | When to Update |
|---|---|---|
task_plan.md |
Phases, progress, decisions | After each phase |
findings.md |
Research, discoveries | After ANY discovery |
progress.md |
Session log, test results | Throughout session |

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.

planning-with-files is a skill published in the GitHub repository tdimino/claude-code-minoan (41 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,994 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to planning-with-files, differing in 16 lines, and is treated as a copy.

weekly-retro
A structured weekly retrospective for a one-person business run with AI agents. It gathers evidence from code, project tools, and canonical business files, then records findings and outcomes.
idea
Use when capturing ONE new idea the user voices and wants recorded — "save this idea", "I have an idea", "log this idea", "/idea", "idea: ...". Creates a provenance-tracked folder (one folder per idea) in your ideas repo, dedups against an index, optionally mirrors to a GitHub Project view filtered by label:idea. NOT…

Use when preparing for, running, or closing a live meeting with an AI assistant dashboard. Triggers on "meeting copilot", "live copilot", "prepare for a call", "update copilot", "close the session", or requests to turn transcript chunks into meeting questions, topic maps, decisions, and follow-ups.
