Headless implementation-plan authoring for the Foreman planning stage.

  • Works in 5 steps: Explore before you plan → Map the file structure first → Write the plan → …
  • Tasks that involve Planning
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Explore before you plan, 2. Map the file structure first, 3. Write the plan and 4. No placeholders, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Foreman Plan is an agent skill from VisionForge-OU/foreman. Headless implementation-plan authoring for the Foreman planning stage. Explore the target repo first, then write a deep, decomposition-aware plan that the grill→ADR/PRD→issues pipeline can build on — goals, seams, data/interface changes, risks, sequencing, and testing strategy. No placeholders. Writes the plan body and stops.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Planning, Architecture decision records and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: A Boris-style agentic orchestrator TUI that supervises headless Claude Code agents through a gated software-delivery pipeline — pointed at any repository.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Planning
  • Tasks that involve Architecture decision records
  • Tasks that involve PRD writing

Example prompts

  • “/foreman-plan”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Explore before you plan
  2. Map the file structure first
  3. Write the plan
  4. No placeholders
  5. Self-review before you stop

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 92d7f79. 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

Foreman Plan loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 540 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 540 words (~1,040 tokens).

“(Adapted from obra/superpowers writing-plans (MIT) — see NOTICE. Re-aimed at Foreman's planning stage: this plan is the input to the grill stage, which turns it into an ADR + PRD, which foreman-to-issues then slices — so it stays at the…”
