What it does

Rewrite Plan is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Author a long-running multi-file rewrite plan that subsequent patch-edit + diff-review + build-test stages will execute, with explicit ownership boundaries and patch-safety guarantees.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `open-design.json`).

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: 🎨 Best DeepSeek Harness Design Plugin. The open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Local-first desktop app. 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Frontend & Design work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/rewrite-plan”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d9dd6fe. 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

Rewrite Plan loads about 511 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 189 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~511

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.

Rewrite plan

Spec §20.3 / §21.3.2: scenario 4 (design → deliverable production code) requires a contract-shaped rewrite plan before the agent starts editing files. The plan is the audit trail every subsequent stage references; without it the patch path slides into "refactor everything that looks wrong" and the build breaks in unreviewable ways.

Inputs

  • code/index.json from code-import.
  • token-map/*.json from token-map.
  • The active design system DESIGN.md (already in prompt).
  • The user's tune intent (typically a short brief).

Output

text
project-cwd/
└── plan/
    ├── plan.md           # human-readable narrative
    ├── ownership.json    # { file: '...', layer: 'leaf' | 'shared' | 'route' | 'shell' }
    ├── steps.json        # ordered { id, files[], rationale, risk: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high' }[]
    └── meta.json         # { generatedAt, atomDigest, tokenMapDigest }

steps.json is the input patch-edit reads one entry per iteration. ownership.json is the source of truth for "which files belong to a single component vs. shared infrastructure"; patch-edit refuses to touch a shell-tier file unless the matching step has risk: 'high' and the user explicitly confirmed.

Convergence

The atom completes when plan.md is non-empty AND steps.json contains at least one step.

Anti-patterns the prompt fragment forbids

  • Plans that include "rewrite the whole component library" as a single step. Break into per-component steps.
  • Plans that don't classify ownership.
  • Plans that don't list a build-test step at the end.

Status

Implemented by the daemon runner in apps/daemon/src/plugins/atoms/rewrite-plan.ts. It classifies ownership and writes plan.md, steps.json, and ownership.json.
