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-guide 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Skill: plan-guide

The complete, canonical contract for this skill is the paste-prompt it wraps, inlined here — follow it in full:

!cat "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/prompt.md"

(If the block above came back empty or errored, read prompt.md in this skill folder — it sits beside this SKILL.md — and follow that.)

As you follow it, adapt for the fact that you're a Claude Code skill, not a pasted prompt:

  • You're already invoked — skip its "How to use / paste this" preamble and its {{IDEA}} placeholder. The idea is $ARGUMENTS below (plus any attached files, repo path, or link).
  • The deliverable is the plan — produce it inline as your reply and, once you've settled it, write it to guide/PLAN.md (creating the guide/ folder). That single file is the only thing you write now — do not scaffold README.md, foundation/, milestones, or any other guide content yet; that's /scaffold-guide's job after approval.
  • Where the prompt hands off to another prompt by name (e.g. draft-milestone), use the sibling skill of the same name instead (/draft-milestone).

The idea:

$ARGUMENTS

Gate: run the Phase 0 interview and stop and wait for answers before producing any plan (unless the user said "no questions"); then stop again for plan approval before any drafting.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
