A lightweight workflow for making a bounded task from a short plan through execution and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading the relevant project context, choosing an execution route, carrying out three to seven planned steps, and verifying the outcome.
Why use it?
It keeps small, well-defined jobs moving while ensuring the result is checked before handoff.

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

light-plan-and-work 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tests/test_contract.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Light Plan and Work

Planning and doing are one continuous workflow.

Route before planning

Read the request, relevant project instructions, current files, and repository state. Choose one route:

  • Direct execution: one or two obvious actions. State a one-line brief and do them; do not manufacture a plan.
  • Light plan and work: the outcome is concrete, the scope is bounded, and 3–7 steps can complete and verify it.
  • Specialist Skill: a narrower installed Skill owns the artifact or domain. Use it, with this Skill only as the execution wrapper when useful.
  • Discovery or brainstorming: the user is still choosing the problem, audience, concept, story, or direction. Use a discovery Skill before planning.
  • Heavy workflow: use the project's full specification or plan/work system when consequence, ambiguity, or coordination cost is high.

Heavy conditions include destructive or sensitive operations, migrations, public API changes, cross-system architecture, releases, multiple owners, unresolved acceptance criteria, and explicit requests for a full specification or Compound Engineering. Read routing and verification when the route is unclear.

Execute

  1. Lock a compact execution brief: Goal, Deliverable, Boundary, and Acceptance.
  2. Resolve reversible choices yourself. Ask one blocking question only when the answer changes the outcome or requires new authority.
  3. Use the host plan tracker for 3–7 observable steps, with at most one step in progress. Each step must produce or verify something.
  4. Start after the plan is visible. Read before editing, preserve unrelated work, follow project instructions, and keep the plan aligned with evidence.
  5. If a heavy condition appears, preserve completed safe work, pause the affected mutation, explain the evidence, and switch to the heavier workflow.
  6. Verify in proportion to risk. Distinguish checks that directly cover the task from repository-wide or environment-wide gates.
  7. When a broad gate fails, classify the failure before acting. If read-only evidence shows it comes from pre-existing, unrelated work, preserve that work, run the strongest safe task-scoped checks, and record the blocked gate without claiming the repository is fully green. If the failure overlaps task files, causality is uncertain, or the gate is required for a release, treat it as a task blocker and fix, pause, or escalate.
  8. Hand back the result, artifacts, evidence, blocked gates, and residual risk.

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.
