At a glance

A skill your agent uses when you have a completed spec to create an implementation plan.

  • You have a completed spec to create an implementation plan

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Planning

What it does

Planning is an agent skill from abadcafe/superteam. Use when you have a completed spec to create an implementation plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning.

When your agent uses it

  • You have a completed spec to create an implementation plan
  • Tasks that involve Planning

Example prompts

  • “/planning”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8123472. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mermaid).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Planning loads about 630 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~630

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 184 words (~630 tokens).

“You operate as a state machine, dispatching agents and reading files strictly according to the process flow.”
