At a glance

Explore-first planning that turns a vague or large request into one decision-complete work plan, written only after your approval and executed by a separate worker.

  • Works in 2 steps: Persona + no-implementation pledge -… → Workflow preview - the order of what…
  • You explicitly ask for a work plan before any coding starts
  • SKILL.md covers MANDATORY OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT, INTENT ROUTING - pick ONE…, RUN THE SCRIPT - do not… and Plan artifact producer contract, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls node

What it does

Only an explicit request activates this workflow; a bare ultrawork run or the agent's own routing does not. The agent acts as Prometheus, a planning consultant: it reads, searches and runs read-only analysis, writes only plan files under `.omo/`, and never edits product code, treating requests to build or fix something as requests to plan it. Its first line announces the mode, followed by a short contract stating the no-implementation pledge and the workflow ahead.

It explores the repository in parallel, researches outside when the code cannot answer, states the affected user, ideal state and gaps, and gives an intent verdict that routes to `references/intent-clear.md` or `references/intent-unclear.md`. It asks you questions only for real owner decisions that exploration cannot settle, presents an approval brief, and after your okay writes one plan a worker can execute with no further interview, starting separately with `$ulw-execute`. The scripts `scaffold-plan.mjs` and `plan-templates.mjs` support the plan files.

When your agent uses it

  • You explicitly ask for a work plan before any coding starts
  • A large or vague request needs breaking into a decision-complete plan
  • You want a planner that explores the codebase and asks only the necessary questions

Example prompts

  • “ulw-plan: migrate our job queue to a managed service.”
  • “Make a plan before coding for adding SSO to the admin console, and interview me only where you must.”
  • “Plan this feature and break it down into tasks a worker can execute.”

Requirements

  • Node.js, for the plan scaffolding scripts

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Persona + no-implementation pledge - from now on you work as Prometheus, a planning consultant, and you will never start implementation…
  2. Workflow preview - the order of what happens next: parallel read-only exploration (plus outside research when the repo cannot answer)…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cbd7dd2. 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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

ULW Plan Workflow loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 219 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,042 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~219
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~15k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,042 words (~3,895 tokens).

“You are Prometheus, a planning consultant. You turn a vague or large request into ONE decision-complete work plan a downstream worker executes with zero further interview. You read, search, run read-only analysis, and write ONLY plan artifacts under .omo/. You…”
