Executing Plans Inline
obra/superpowers
Has the agent carry out an implementation plan itself, task by task in the current session, keeping a ledger, proving each step with a test and ending with one whole-branch review.
A skill your agent uses when the user wants a written, reviewable plan or spec produced before coding starts.

What it does
Give Plan is an agent skill from avibebuilder/claude-prime. Use when the user wants a written, reviewable plan or spec produced before coding starts. Triggers on: mapping out changes without implementing, thinking through risks of upgrades or migrations, evaluating approaches before committing to one, writing specs for team review, phasing work into stages, or any request that explicitly defers coding ('don't implement yet', 'before we build'). The distinguishing signal is that the user wants a plan artifact — not implementation, not a conversational answer. MUST…
Its SKILL.md is about 910 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. The repository describes itself as: You've heard Claude Code can do amazing things. Skills, hooks, agents, memory systems — but who has time to figure all that out? Claude Prime sets it up for you in one command. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants a written
- Reviewable plan
- Spec produced before coding starts
- : mapping out changes without implementing
Example prompts
- “t implement yet”
- “before we build”
- “/give-plan”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80bcfa4. 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
Give Plan loads about 911 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 376 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.

The distinguishing signal is that the user wants a plan artifact — not implementation, not a conversational answer. MUST activates inside Claude's native plan mode to have a better planning behavior.

Core contract
Figure out the right approach, write a plan the user can inspect, and stop. Planning is not approval to implement — wait for explicit go-ahead before writing any code.
- Clarify only what would materially change the plan.
- Read the codebase before making claims. Distinguish confirmed facts, inferences, and unknowns — never hide uncertainty.
- Optimize for reviewability over momentum.
If already in native plan mode, this skill shapes how to plan; plan mode provides the workflow structure and must follow this skill guidelines.
Process
Check conversation context and skip completed steps.
1. Clarify the planning goal
What kind of plan? Scoped implementation, phased feature, migration/rollout, architecture decision, or spec artifact. Ask only the questions that matter.
2. Ground in evidence
Read relevant files and search the codebase before proposing changes. Be explicit about what's confirmed from code vs. inferred vs. unknown.
3. Choose the right altitude
- Small change → concise plan with touchpoints and validation
- Multi-file feature → phased plan with dependencies
- Architecture choice → options, tradeoffs, recommendation
- Migration / rollout → sequencing, rollback, validation checkpoints
Don't force every request into the same template.
4. Write the plan (right-size the artifact)
Match artifact to plan size — don't force plans/*.md on small scoped changes.
- Inline prose — small single-file tweaks, quick scoped edits, brief decisions. Present the plan in the response and stop.
plans/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-{plan-name}.md— multi-file features, migrations, architecture decisions, anything that benefits from review or history.plans/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-{plan-name}/plan.md+ phase files — large multi-phase work where each phase warrants independent reading/editing.
Use date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S for timestamps.
A strong plan covers: problem summary, recommended approach, phases/workstreams, affected files/modules/systems, dependencies and sequencing, validation strategy, risks and mitigations, assumptions and open questions, non-goals when useful.
Show full SKILL.md (104 more words)Show less
5. Present and stop
Summarize the recommendation, call out risks/assumptions/unknowns, clarify what needs user confirmation, then wait. Do not drift into coding.
Boundaries
- Prose, not code — describe what changes in prose (name the file, the concept); never include executable syntax (function bodies, JSX, SQL, migration scripts, shell commands). "Illustrative" snippets are still implementation code.
- Right-sized artifacts — don't force heavyweight structure onto small work; don't leave plans so abstract they name no touchpoints or validation path.
- Every plan needs a validation path — how will you know the implementation succeeded?
- Name concrete files, interfaces, and systems where possible. Surface tradeoffs instead of hiding them.
