ralplan

ralplan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zereight/gitlab-mcp. It costs 28 tokens per session (340 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A consensus-based planning process in which planner, architect, and critic roles review a proposed plan in several rounds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning complex coding tasks, comparing implementation options, reviewing architecture, preparing tests, and producing a decision record.
Why use it?
It helps turn vague development requests into decisions, alternatives, risks, and testable steps before work begins.

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

ralplan 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 4d 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

Ralplan (Consensus Planning)

Shorthand for /plan --consensus. Triggers iterative planning with Planner, Architect, and Critic agents until consensus is reached.

Flags

  • --deliberate: Forces deliberate mode for high-risk work. Adds pre-mortem (3 scenarios) and expanded test planning.

Workflow

  1. @planner creates initial plan with RALPLAN-DR summary:
    • Principles (3-5)
    • Decision Drivers (top 3)
    • Viable Options (>=2) with pros/cons
  2. @architect reviews for architectural soundness
  3. @critic validates quality and testability
  4. Loop until critic approves (max 5 iterations)
  5. Final plan includes ADR (Decision, Drivers, Alternatives, Why chosen, Consequences)

Pre-Execution Gate

Vague execution requests (e.g., "ralph improve the app") are redirected through ralplan first to ensure explicit scope, testable criteria, and multi-agent consensus.

Passes gate (specific enough): prompts with file paths, function names, issue numbers, numbered steps, or acceptance criteria.

Gated (needs scoping): prompts with only vague descriptions and no concrete anchors.

After Approval

  • Execute via /team (parallel agents, recommended) or /ralph (sequential with verification)
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.
