plan

A planning workflow for turning a software request into an actionable work plan. It can ask focused questions for broad requests, create a plan directly when the request is detailed, or use additional review modes for collaborative planning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gather requirements, plan software changes, create a direct plan from a detailed request, review an existing plan, or run a planner–architect–critic planning process.
Why use it?
It helps uncover missing requirements and organize decisions before implementation begins. The workflow can also inspect the codebase and have planning roles review a proposed approach.

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 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 3d 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

Plan

Creates comprehensive, actionable work plans through intelligent interaction. Auto-detects whether to interview (broad requests) or plan directly (detailed requests).

Modes

Mode Trigger Behavior
Interview Default for broad requests Interactive requirements gathering
Direct --direct, or detailed request Skip interview, generate plan directly
Consensus --consensus, "ralplan" Planner → Architect → Critic loop
Review --review Critic evaluation of existing plan

Interview Mode (broad/vague requests)

  1. Classify request: broad triggers interview
  2. Ask ONE focused question at a time for preferences, scope, constraints
  3. Gather codebase facts via @explore BEFORE asking user
  4. Consult @analyst for hidden requirements
  5. Create plan when user signals readiness

Direct Mode (detailed requests)

  1. Optional brief @analyst consultation
  2. Generate comprehensive work plan immediately

Consensus Mode (--consensus / "ralplan")

  1. @planner creates initial plan with RALPLAN-DR summary (Principles, Decision Drivers, Options)
  2. @architect reviews for architectural soundness (sequential, NOT parallel with critic)
  3. @critic evaluates quality criteria (after architect completes)
  4. Re-review loop (max 5 iterations) if critic rejects
  5. Apply improvements on approval
  6. Final plan includes ADR (Decision, Drivers, Alternatives, Why chosen, Consequences)

Review Mode (--review)

  1. Read plan from .omc/plans/
  2. @critic evaluates
  3. Return verdict: APPROVED / REVISE / REJECT

Output

Plans saved to .omc/plans/. Include:

  • Requirements Summary
  • Testable Acceptance Criteria
  • Implementation Steps (with file references)
  • Risks and Mitigations
  • Verification Steps

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.

plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository zereight/gitlab-mcp (1,939 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 462 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
