What it does

Plan is an agent skill from av/mi. Write a strategy doc before starting multi-step, multi-file, or unclear work. Use when asked to "plan out", "figure out the approach", or before any task needing more than one step.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: self-extending sandboxed agentic harness. a loop, two tools and an llm.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to plan out
  • Figure out the approach
  • Before any task needing more than one step

Example prompts

  • “plan out”
  • “figure out the approach”
  • “/plan”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2bf50c9. 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 loads about 484 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~484

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 190 words (~484 tokens).

“Skip entirely for trivial one-step work (single edit, single command, single read).”
