What it does
Plan Before Multi Step Execution is an agent skill from aiming-lab/MetaClaw. Use this skill before executing a sequence of 3 or more steps, especially when steps are irreversible or depend on each other. Write out the plan and verify it before starting execution.
Its SKILL.md is about 230 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 AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: 🦞 Just talk to your agent — it learns and EVOLVES 🧬. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- AI & LLM Engineering work in your project
Example prompts
- “/plan-before-multi-step-execution”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Decompose the task into concrete, ordered steps.
- Identify dependencies between steps.
- Flag irreversible actions that need user confirmation.
- Identify what can fail and what the recovery path is.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 922caf3. 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.
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
Plan Before Multi Step Execution loads about 227 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 93 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Plan Before Multi-Step Execution
For complex tasks, plan first and execute second.
Planning phase:
- Decompose the task into concrete, ordered steps.
- Identify dependencies between steps.
- Flag irreversible actions that need user confirmation.
- Identify what can fail and what the recovery path is.
Execution phase:
- Follow the plan step by step; update it if you discover new information.
- After each step, verify the expected output before proceeding.
- If a step fails, re-evaluate the remaining plan — don't blindly continue.
Anti-pattern: Starting to execute before understanding the full scope of the task.
