At a glance

Decompose a feature into an actionable implementation plan using parallel worker-explorer swarms — a user-invoked Planning Orchestrator workflow.

  • Works in 5 steps: Explore — Launch 3-6 worker-explorer… → Classify — Determine decision… → Document — Create appropriate artifacts… → …
  • Tasks that involve Planning
  • SKILL.md covers MCP Tools, Planning Workflow, Decision Framework and Artifact Requirements, plus 10 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Swarm Plan is an agent skill from dralgorhythm/claude-agentic-framework. Decompose a feature into an actionable implementation plan using parallel worker-explorer swarms — a user-invoked Planning Orchestrator workflow.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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: A More Effective Agent Harness for Claude.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Planning

Example prompts

  • “/swarm-plan”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Explore — Launch 3-6 worker-explorer agents to research existing patterns, dependencies, constraints, and prior art
  2. Classify — Determine decision reversibility (Two-Way Door vs One-Way Door)
  3. Document — Create appropriate artifacts based on scope
  4. Decompose — Break into right-sized tasks: roughly 200-400 changed LOC or 15-45 minutes of focused work each — review effectiveness…
  5. Track — Record tasks in the native task list for implementation tracking

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6436a20. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Swarm Plan loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 572 words (~1,507 tokens).
