What it does

Feature Boundary Planner is an agent skill from BytePioneer-AI/codex-host. Trace a codexhost feature change across UI surfaces, Host routing, Harness capabilities, state ownership, persistence, and validation. Use for impact analysis, design planning, or implementation handoff.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/case-planning-template.md` and `references/impact-brief-template.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Run Pi and Claude Code directly in Codex Desktop. 在 Codex Desktop 中直接运行 Pi 和 Claude Code。 The licence is LGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Impact analysis
  • Design planning
  • Implementation handoff

Example prompts

  • “/feature-boundary-planner”

  2. Classify the change as presentation, option source, draft/default, validation, command effect, persistence, or recovery.
  3. Trace each affected surface to its authoritative owner: Renderer/Desktop binding → Host request routing → Adapter/native operation →…
  4. Use $dep-refs for callers and re-exports. Imports alone do not prove a product dependency. Start with direct relationships, expanding when…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08c7d65. 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

Feature Boundary Planner loads about 755 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 333 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~755
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.4k

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.

Feature boundary planner

Choose the scope implied by the request: impact-only reads and reports; planning establishes behavior and acceptance cases; implementation-handoff identifies concrete code and validation work. Respect existing user decisions and preserve unrelated work.

Trace the current implementation

  1. Use source discovery and the repository documentation index to locate the relevant current contracts and entrypoints. Verify paths and symbols in this checkout.
  2. Classify the change as presentation, option source, draft/default, validation, command effect, persistence, or recovery.
  3. Trace each affected surface to its authoritative owner: Renderer/Desktop binding → Host request routing → Adapter/native operation → confirmed event → projection. Some features end earlier; follow only the relevant path.
  4. Use $dep-refs for callers and re-exports. Imports alone do not prove a product dependency. Start with direct relationships, expanding when ownership or a caller remains unresolved.
  5. Distinguish official Codex Threads from external Harness Threads; local and remote Hosts; Native Session facts from Host metadata; capabilities from UI affordances. Use the repository terminology.

For stateful changes, show the event order and owner in a concise diagram. Identify cancellation, duplicate input, stale results, reconnect and recovery where they can affect behavior.

Plan and validate

In impact-only mode, report findings without changing implementation or specifications. In planning modes, maintain the relevant feature document for substantial behavior changes as required by AGENTS.md. Minor changes do not need a new documentation hierarchy.

Select representative high-risk cases rather than every combination of Harness, platform and state. Classify cases as accepted, undefined, pruned, ignored, or bug-candidate, giving evidence for exclusions. Use case planning for complex changes and impact brief for a structured handoff; fill only useful sections.

Inspect actual test files and package scripts before recommending commands. Distinguish planned coverage, existing tests, executed checks and runtime evidence. Missing source or a planned independent-client feature is not evidence of current capability.

Complete with the affected surfaces, owners, contracts, verified code references, native capability constraints, required checks and unresolved decisions. Ask only for decisions that cannot be resolved from authorized scope or current evidence.
