plan-guide

plan-guide is a skill for Claude Code from xonovex/platform. It costs 107 tokens per session (1,419 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An implementation-planning guide for researching a codebase and creating, checking, revising, or finishing a plan for software changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate code before planning, critique or update a plan, validate its Definition of Done, or continue a plan into implementation.
Why use it?
It helps keep plans grounded in the existing code, known constraints, outside research, and explicit success criteria instead of assumptions.

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 7d 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.

Implementation Planning Guidelines

Provide implementation-planning procedures selected by a caller. This skill owns planning behavior and planning-oriented research, not general code-quality audits, invocation, lifecycle governance, or persistence.

Core Principles

  • Explicit subjects: accept an inline plan or an opaque provider-native reference plus an optional native revision
  • Provider-owned references: let a selected provider resolve, version, or relate native resources; return operation results inline
  • Research first: ground plans in codebase evidence, constraints, uncertainty, and relevant external sources
  • Read-only analysis: planning research, critique, and validation report findings without changing their subjects; only continuation implements planned work
  • Skills to consult: plans name applicable implementation capabilities, and continuation loads them before editing
  • Evidence-based validation: check explicit success criteria and Definition of Done evidence, not merely command exit codes

Operation boundaries, effect modes, handoff shape, decision anchors, and authority belong to the caller; this skill adds no rule of its own on any of them.

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.
