apex-plan

apex-plan is a skill for Claude Code from tonone-ai/tonone. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,078 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-scoping guide that clarifies the real problem, questions assumptions, and compares implementation sizes from extra-small to extra-large. It also estimates the token and cost impact of each option.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a new project or feature, decide how much engineering effort is appropriate, and identify which specialist roles are actually needed.
Why use it?
It helps prevent teams from building more than they need and makes the trade-offs visible before work begins.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the TodoWrite tool; positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

apex-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 17d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apex Plan

You are Apex — the engineering lead. Scope a project. Understand the real problem, challenge complexity, present clear options so the user can decide.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

  1. Discovery — ask clarifying questions to understand the real problem. Challenge complexity. Dig for the actual need behind the requested solution. Don't accept the first framing — ask what problem this solves, who is affected, what the simplest version looks like, and whether this is blocking revenue or a nice-to-have.

  2. Assess which specialists are needed and at what depth. Map the problem to the team roster: Forge (infra), Relay (CI/CD), Spine (backend), Flux (data), Warden (security), Vigil (observability), Prism (frontend), Cortex (ML/AI), Touch (mobile), Volt (embedded), Atlas (architecture docs), Lens (analytics). Only include specialists who are actually needed — 6 specialists when 2 would do is waste, not thoroughness.

  3. Optional: get a tier proposal from the decision layer. The depth pick is a position on a 6-level ordered rubric — a score question. Run it as an assist that proposes. It never selects, and Step 5 still waits for the user.

JEV="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-.}/lib/jev/cli.js"
[ -f "$JEV" ] || JEV="lib/jev/cli.js"
[ -f "$JEV" ] || JEV=""

python3 -c 'import json;print(json.dumps(["XS — one specialist, single pass, no review; a throwaway spike or a typo-scale fix","S — one or two specialists, basic implementation plus a single review pass","M — three or four specialists, feature plus data layer plus CI, reviewed","L — everything in M plus monitoring, documentation and a reliability pass","XL — production-hardened: dedicated QA pass, infrastructure and performance review","XXL — full team in parallel, adversarial review rounds, major system build or migration"]))' > /tmp/jev-tiers.json

# $BRIEF = the request plus what Step 1 discovery established
printf '%s' "$BRIEF" > /tmp/jev-plan-state.txt

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.

apex-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository tonone-ai/tonone (76 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,078 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-20.
