implement-plan-preflight

implement-plan-preflight is a skill for Claude Code from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,384 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A preflight workflow for creating an architecture decision record and a design specification before implementation. An architecture decision record is a document explaining an important technical choice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing a feature design, creating an ADR in MADR format, writing a design specification, or verifying the design before implementation begins.
Why use it?
It creates a documented design checkpoint before code is written, reducing the chance of implementing an unclear or unverified plan.

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

implement-plan-preflight 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/preflight_validator.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Implement Plan Preflight

Execute the Preflight phase of the /itp:go workflow. Creates ADR and Design Spec artifacts with proper cross-linking and verification.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

When to Use This Skill

  • Invoked by /itp:go command during Preflight phase
  • User asks to create an ADR for a feature
  • User mentions "design spec" or "MADR format"
  • Manual preflight verification needed

Preflight Workflow Overview

P.1: Create Feature Branch (if -b flag)
         │
         ▼
P.2: Create ADR File (MADR 4.0)
         │
         ▼
P.3: Create Design Spec (from global plan)
         │
         ▼
P.4: Verify Checkpoint (MANDATORY)

CRITICAL: Do NOT proceed to Phase 1 implementation until ALL preflight steps are complete and verified.


Quick Reference

YYYY-MM-DD-slug

Example: 2025-12-01-clickhouse-aws-ohlcv-ingestion

File Locations

Artifact Path
ADR /docs/adr/$ADR_ID.md
Design Spec /docs/design/$ADR_ID/spec.md
Global Plan ~/.claude/plans/<adj-verb-noun>.md

Cross-Links (MANDATORY)

In ADR header:

**Design Spec**: [Implementation Spec](/docs/design/YYYY-MM-DD-slug/spec.md)

In spec.md header:

**ADR**: [Feature Name ADR](/docs/adr/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md)

Execution Steps

Step P.1: Create Feature Branch (Optional)

Only if -b flag specified. See Workflow Steps for details.

Step P.2: Create ADR File

  1. Create /docs/adr/$ADR_ID.md
  2. Use template from ADR Template
  3. Populate frontmatter from session context
  4. Select perspectives from Perspectives Taxonomy

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.
