plan-work-items

plan-work-items is a skill for Claude Code from testdouble/han. It costs 140 tokens per session (5,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that turns an implementation plan into small, independent work items in a single Markdown file. Each item is intended to be easy to pick up and complete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create implementation tickets or break a trusted plan into smaller pieces of work.
Why use it?
It makes a large plan easier to divide among developers and track as separate tasks.

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-work-items 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/verify-design-images.sh), 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 — 330 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Context

  • CLAUDE.md: !find . -maxdepth 1 -name "CLAUDE.md" -type f
  • project-discovery.md: !find . -maxdepth 3 -name "project-discovery.md" -type f
  • feature-implementation-plan.md: !find . -maxdepth 5 -name "feature-implementation-plan.md" -type f
  • personal config directory: !bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/han-config-dir.sh" 2>/dev/null || echo "$HOME/.claude"
  • project .han/config.md: !cat .han/config.md 2>/dev/null || echo ""

As your first action, use the Read tool on .han/config.md inside the personal config directory path above. A read that returns no file is no personal configuration: continue silently. When that file or the project .han/config.md probe supplies content, apply it per config-rule.md, which governs precedence between the two files, relative-path resolution, and what to do with a file that reads but cannot be used.

Plan Work Items

Break an implementation plan into vertical slices (tracer bullets) and write them as work items to a single work-items.md file.

This skill mostly coordinates: reading the boundary this work descends from, locating the plan or context, resolving where the file goes, printing the breakdown, writing the work-items file. It runs autonomously apart from two named turns: the confirmation turn it takes when no boundary record exists, and the single stop for an input only the user can supply. Step 5 is where the judgement comes into play, in dividing up the plan.

Operating Principles

  • Run autonomously, with two named exceptions. After the initial request, run end to end without pausing for human confirmation. When a decision has a reasonable default (where the file goes, how the plan divides), make it, state it, and proceed. Print the work item breakdown for visibility, but never gate on approval to continue. Two situations are exceptions, and they are the only ones:
    • The confirmation turn, taken when no boundary record exists, per Step 0.
    • The single stop, taken once when an input only the user can supply is missing and its absence degrades the work items, per operator-escalation-rule.md.

Changes

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.
