  • “/spk-mission-plan”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Invoke /spec-kitty.plan against the active mission.
  2. Ground the plan in the spec and existing repo architecture.
  3. Make tradeoffs explicit: interfaces, data flow, migration needs, tests,
  4. Route research gaps to spk-mission-research.
  5. Route unclear mission type or workflow questions to spk-mission-types.
  6. For non-trivial architecture, data/control flow, boundaries, migrations, or

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d12146f. 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

Spk Mission Plan loads about 239 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~239

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.

spk-mission-plan

Use this skill when a mission has a spec and needs an implementation plan.

Flow

  1. Invoke /spec-kitty.plan against the active mission.
  2. Ground the plan in the spec and existing repo architecture.
  3. Make tradeoffs explicit: interfaces, data flow, migration needs, tests, rollout, and risks.
  4. Route research gaps to spk-mission-research.
  5. Route unclear mission type or workflow questions to spk-mission-types.
  6. For non-trivial architecture, data/control flow, boundaries, migrations, or risky interactions, load spk-practice-show-me and use diagrams where they materially reduce prose.

Guardrail

Do not let the plan silently change functional requirements. If the plan discovers a spec issue, return to spk-mission-specify.
