What it does
Plate Plan is an agent skill from udecode/plate. Define or update Plate editor-behavior specs with a pass-gated, evidence-scored plan. Use for behavior law, authority maps, protocol rows, parity gates, research-backed winner shifts, editor chrome contracts, and implementation-roadmap changes.
Its SKILL.md is about 10k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Rich-text editor with AI and shadcn/ui.
When your agent uses it
- Research-backed winner shifts
- Editor chrome contracts
- Implementation-roadmap changes
Example prompts
- “/plate-plan”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Standards
- Readable Law
- Protocol Rows
- Parity Gate
- Roadmap
- Audit
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f3815d. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Plate Plan loads about 10k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,150 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: warnings
The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

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.
