What it does

Dough Slice Planning is an agent skill from terryyin/lizard. Plans one understood, bounded story, retrospective correction, or remaining work from an understood instruction as an executable sequence of Behavior/Structure slices with outside-in proof and safe stopping points. Use when a selected story is ready for implementation planning, an execution retrospective has one bounded correction to plan, or authorized remaining work from a sufficient instruction needs an ordinary plan. Stays within the triggering instruction's execution authority: finish after writing and…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/architectural-thinking.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Retrospectives and Planning. The repository describes itself as: A simple code complexity analyser without caring about the C/C++ header files or Java imports, supports most of the popular languages.

When your agent uses it

  • A selected story is ready for implementation planning
  • An execution retrospective has one bounded correction to plan
  • Authorized remaining work from a sufficient instruction needs an ordinary plan

Example prompts

  • “Use the dough-slice-planning skill to plan one understood, bounded story, retrospective correction, or remaining work from an understood instruction…”
  • “/dough-slice-planning”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4b57b3b. 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

Dough Slice Planning loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 221 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,923 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~221
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.4k

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 1,923 words (~3,805 tokens).

“Write one sufficient executable plan for one understood story, a bounded retrospective correction, or remaining work from an understood instruction as described below. Stay within the triggering human or parent-agent instruction's explicit execution authority. Do not implement product code or…”
