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.
Analyze task complexity and route to a mode by artifact: direct fix for clear-scope changes, or a plan file when the approach needs to be written down.

What it does
Turboplan is an agent skill from tobihagemann/turbo. Analyze task complexity and route to a mode by artifact: direct fix for clear-scope changes, or a plan file when the approach needs to be written down. Use when the user asks to "turboplan", "run turboplan", "plan this task", "turbo plan mode", "plan and implement", or "use turboplan instead of plan mode".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/direct-mode.md` and `references/plan-mode.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning. The repository describes itself as: Reusable workflows for planning, building, reviewing, and shipping with Claude Code and Codex. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to turboplan
- Turbo plan mode
- Plan and implement
- Use turboplan instead of plan mode
Example prompts
- “turboplan”
- “run turboplan”
- “plan this task”
- “/turboplan”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 931eda5. 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
Turboplan loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 569 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.

- description
- Analyze task complexity and route to a mode by artifact: direct fix for clear-scope changes, or a plan file when the approach needs to be written down. Use when the user asks to "turboplan", "run turboplan", "plan this task", "turbo plan mode", "plan and implement", or "use turboplan instead of plan mode".
Turboplan
Analyze task complexity to recommend an execution mode, then let the user set the final route.
Categorize the user-supplied task along these dimensions using subjective judgment. This analysis makes the recommendation informed:
- Scope: single feature / single subsystem vs multi-feature / multi-subsystem
- Stakes: one-off change vs long-lived project with architectural implications
- Unknowns: clear approach vs needs exploration and product decisions
Modes are named by what they produce: no plan, or a plan file.
| Mode | Criteria | Route |
|---|---|---|
| Direct | Clear scope, with any remaining decisions small enough to settle in conversation rather than write down. Aligns on the shape, then implements. | Read references/direct-mode.md and follow its steps. |
| Plan | The approach warrants writing down before implementing — to survey patterns, settle architectural decisions, or survive a fresh session. Produces a plan file, however large the work turns out to be. | Read references/plan-mode.md and follow its steps. |
Recommend and Confirm the Route
Form a recommended route from the dimensions and criteria above. Output the recommendation as text: the recommended mode and a line or two on why it fits over its neighbor.
Then use request_user_input to have the user set the final route. Offer the recommended mode first, marked "(Recommended)", alongside the other mode; the auto-appended "Other" lets the user describe a different path.
Add a third Get a second opinion option whenever committing to the wrong mode would cost a session of rework, and whenever the recommended mode does not earn "(Recommended)" with conviction. It runs the $consult-claude skill for the soundest route given the task's scope, stakes, and unknowns. Then resolve the route with that answer in hand, re-asking when the choice stays the user's.
Workflow state lives at .turbo/workflows/<slug>.md — slug from the task summary (lowercased, non-alphanumerics to hyphens, truncated to 40 characters at a word boundary). It pairs one-to-one with the thread's goal. When this run's create_goal attempt succeeds, write the file fresh: Status: active plus the confirmed route's step list from its reference file as a checkbox list. When an unfinished goal already exists, mirror into the workflow file its objective names; when it names none, continue without workflow state. Mirror every update_plan call into the file; it holds the pipeline's remaining steps and their statuses. When this run created the goal, run the terminal step in order: mark the final entry completed and mirror it, set Status: closed, mark the goal complete with update_goal, then emit any halt message.
Show full SKILL.md (171 more words)Show less
Attempt create_goal with the objective: "Carry the task '<task summary>' through the confirmed <route> route's final step; for the plan route that is the route's designed summarize-and-halt, and if the confirmed route changes, the new route's final step applies. Workflow state: .turbo/workflows/<slug>.md; mirror every update_plan call into it. Loop state lives under .turbo/loops/. After any context compaction, re-read the workflow file and any active ledger, and continue from the first unfinished entry. Mark this goal complete at the route's final step, before any designed halt message." If an unfinished goal already exists, an outer workflow owns it; continue without creating one.
Carry the confirmed route into its reference file from the table above and follow its steps. If this run created the goal, resolve it inside the route's own flow rather than after it: mark it complete with update_goal when the route's final step is reached, before emitting any designed halt message.
Rules
- Diff size, perceived task simplicity, and context window concerns are not reasons to skip the chosen mode's phases.
