Executing Plans Inline
obra/superpowers
Has the agent carry out an implementation plan itself, task by task in the current session, keeping a ledger, proving each step with a test and ending with one whole-branch review.
Plan mode: write markdown plan to .mateclaw/plans/, no exec.

What it does
Plan is an agent skill from mateaix/mateclaw. Plan mode: write markdown plan to .mateclaw/plans/, no exec.
Its SKILL.md is about 470 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: 🤖 MateClaw — Your second brain with Multi-Agent Orchestration, MCP Protocol, Skills & Memory, Dream, and Multi-Channel Support. Built on Spring AI Alibaba. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Planning
Example prompts
- “/plan”
Requirements

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3b5f7de. 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
Plan loads about 472 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 243 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Plan Mode
Use this skill when the user wants a plan instead of execution.
Core behavior
For this turn, you are planning only.
- Do not implement code.
- Do not edit project files except the plan markdown file.
- Do not run mutating terminal commands, commit, push, or perform external actions.
- You may inspect the repo or other context with read-only commands/tools when needed.
- Your deliverable is a markdown plan saved inside the active workspace under
.mateclaw/plans/.
Output requirements
Write a markdown plan that is concrete and actionable.
Include, when relevant:
- Goal
- Current context / assumptions
- Proposed approach
- Step-by-step plan
- Files likely to change
- Tests / validation
- Risks, tradeoffs, and open questions
If the task is code-related, include exact file paths, likely test targets, and verification steps.
Save location
Save the plan with write_file under:
.mateclaw/plans/YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS-<slug>.md
Treat that as relative to the active working directory / backend workspace. the agent file tools are backend-aware, so using this relative path keeps the plan with the workspace on local, docker, ssh, modal, and daytona backends.
If the runtime provides a specific target path, use that exact path.
If not, create a sensible timestamped filename yourself under .mateclaw/plans/.
Interaction style
- If the request is clear enough, write the plan directly.
- If no explicit instruction accompanies
/plan, infer the task from the current conversation context. - If it is genuinely underspecified, ask a brief clarifying question instead of guessing.
- After saving the plan, reply briefly with what you planned and the saved path.
