At a glance

Structures plan.md files for parallel, non-overlapping agent work.

  • Works in 5 steps: Worktree section (top) — path, branch,… → Task overview — one line: tasks are… → Task sections — each with the template… → …
  • Editing execution plans
  • SKILL.md covers Required plan.md Structure, Task Template, Task Independence Rules and Task Granularity, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Make Plans is an agent skill from GetStream/stream-chat-react. Structures plan.md files for parallel, non-overlapping agent work. Use when creating or editing execution plans, task lists for multiple agents, or when the user asks how to structure plans or split work into tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Task breakdown. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: React Chat SDK ➜ Stream Chat 💬.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing execution plans
  • Task lists for multiple agents
  • The user asks how to structure plans
  • Split work into tasks

Example prompts

  • “Use the make-plans skill to structure plan.md files for parallel, non-overlapping agent work”
  • “/make-plans”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Worktree section (top) — path, branch, base branch. See worktrees skill.
  2. Task overview — one line: tasks are self-contained; same-file tasks have dependencies.
  3. Task sections — each with the template below.
  4. Execution order — phases showing what can run in parallel.
  5. File ownership summary — table: Task | Creates/Modifies.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1af035e. 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 markdown).

    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

Make Plans loads about 764 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 309 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
~764

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 309 words (~764 tokens).

“Plans enable parallel, non-overlapping work. Each task must be independent; agents work in a dedicated git worktree (see worktrees skill).”
