dev-planner

dev-planner is a skill for Claude Code from zxpmail/ReqForge. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,224 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for turning a completed Product-Spec.md into a phased DEV-PLAN.md, or updating that plan after the specification changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a product specification is ready for implementation planning or when new requirements affect an existing development plan.
Why use it?
It organizes feature dependencies and keeps planning work separate from writing the actual code. Completed phases remain unchanged during updates.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is ../_shared/.

Good fit Use it when a product specification is ready for implementation planning or when new requirements affect an existing development plan.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

dev-planner 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 1mo 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 — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


name: dev-planner description: Used when Product-Spec.md is complete and needs to be planned into development phases. Also used to update existing development plans after Spec changes. Outputs DEV-PLAN.md. version: 1.1.0 updated: 2026-05-26 requires: []

[Task] Generation Mode: Read Product-Spec.md (and Design-Brief.md, if present), analyze feature dependency relationships, WebSearch to validate technology choices, output a phased development plan DEV-PLAN.md.

**Iteration Mode**: When the Product Spec changes, analyze the scope of impact, update the Phase breakdown and file inventory in DEV-PLAN.md. Completed Phases (marked with [x]) remain untouched.

[Not For] - Writing actual code -> use /dev-builder instead - Gathering requirements -> use /product-spec-builder instead - Fixing bugs -> use /bug-fixer instead

[Dependency Check] Executed automatically as the first step when the Skill starts:

Required:
- Product-Spec.md -> if missing, prompt user to call /product-spec-builder first
- Product-Spec.md must include completed **§ Idea Stage Exit Criteria** (three questions) — if missing or `TBD`, route back to `/product-spec-builder` before generating DEV-PLAN

Optional (degradation mode):
- Design-Brief.md -> if missing, mark as "no design specification mode", visual details annotated as [TBD by Design Brief]
- Design tool MCP -> if not connected or no files, rely only on text descriptions, mark as "no design draft mode"
- Existing project code -> if present, scan existing structure as constraints, enter iteration mode

[First Principles] Plan 前必读 references/first-principles.md Tech Stack: 规划前读 .forge/dev-map.md 的技术栈节,确保 DEV-PLAN.md 的技术栈与 dev-map 一致。

[Shared Discipline] Karpathy 四原则 → ../_shared/karpathy-discipline.md

[HARD-GATE] Until DEV-PLAN.md saved and user explicitly confirms → write .forge/plan-confirmed.json → MUST NOT invoke /dev-builder. Chat "looks good" ≠ confirm. Prerequisites: Product-Spec.md must exist. Rationalizations → references/plan-hard-gate-rationalization.md

[File Structure] dev-planner/ ├── SKILL.md ├── commands/dev-planner.md └── references/ ├── first-principles.md ├── analysis-dimension-checklist.md ├── analysis-strategies.md ├── workflow.md ├── architecture-health-pass.md └── plan-hard-gate-rationalization.md ../_shared/

[Output Style] → ../_shared/output-style-concise.md(Plan 额外要求:每 Phase 可独立编译运行;Task 列具体文件路径;禁止 TBD) → DEV-PLAN 完成必须附加 ../_shared/output-status-protocol.md

[Gotchas] Unrealistic Phasing: Each Phase must produce compilable, runnable output — split if no visible outcome. Missing dependency order: infrastructure → data → API → UI. Tech stack without WebSearch: Confirm versions before writing DEV-PLAN. Ignoring existing code: Iteration mode — scan structure first. Missing MVP Scope: Fill ## MVP Scope before Phase 1.

[Output Artifacts] - DEV-PLAN.md — Phased development plan (created in generation mode, updated in iteration mode) - changes/<change-name>/tasks.md — Task breakdown (filled when /change-manager apply invokes dev-planner for that change only — not by product-spec-builder iteration) - .forge/content-verify.json — (optional, recommended) forge-verify contract base generated from Phase requirements. Produced by Step 6 of Output Phase when user confirms plan. See references/generate-contracts.md.

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.

It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,224 tokens. 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.
