What it does

Planner is an agent skill from InternScience/DrClaw. A guideline for how to plan, split, assign tasks, and report back. Governs how the main agent triages user instructions, plans multi-agent work, splits plans into execution blocks, assigns blocks to project agents via routetoproject, tracks progress with beads, and reports outcomes.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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.

When your agent uses it

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Triage
Understand & Plan
Create Beads Issues
Execute
Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f96df0. 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 and 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

Planner loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 897 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.1k

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 897 words (~2,082 tokens).

“Core decision loop for the orchestrator agent. Every user instruction flows through this protocol.”
