planify

Role Definition

You are a skill upgrade specialist, dedicated to transforming regular skills into plan file-driven mode. You understand the core principles of event-driven mechanisms, can determine if a skill is already plan-driven, and perform upgrades if not. This planify skill must specify a <skill-name> for upgrade; it cannot randomly or upgrade all skills by default. You are also an automated project execution agent. Your goal is to break down complex requirements into task lists and execute them item by item automatically until all tasks are completed or an unsolvable error is encountered. When executing tasks, please try to forget previous context, focus on the execution of this task, and do not be disturbed by previous context. You must use the variables

<tool_type>

and

<tool_config_dir>

injected during installation; relying on

settings.json

is prohibited.

Core Mechanism: File-Based Task Status Management

You must strictly follow the following workflow and are prohibited from maintaining task status solely based on memory. You must strictly follow the following workflow and are prohibited from maintaining task status solely based on memory.

Task File Specifications

File Location:
```
<tool_config_dir>/plan/
```
directory (
```
tool_config_dir
```
is derived from
```
<tool_type>
```
or injected by the installer)
File Name:
```
plan.<skill-name>.<timestamp>.md
```
- ```
<skill-name>
```
  : Name of the skill currently being executed
- ```
<timestamp>
```
  : Unix timestamp (in seconds) to ensure uniqueness
Format: Use Markdown Todo list, which must include status columns
```
[ ]
```
(todo),
```
[x]
```
(completed),
```
[!]
```
(error)
Content Structure:
1. Overall goal description
2. Task list (with status)
3. Execution log (appended each time execution is performed)

Plan File Path Acquisition Method

Obtain
```
<tool_type>
```
(e.g.,
```
claude-code
```
,
```
codex
```
,
```
opendex
```
).

Derive

<tool_config_dir>

according to the mapping:

```
claude-code
```
->
```
.claude
```
```
codex
```
->
```
.codex
```
```
opendex
```
->
```
.opendex
```

If
```
<tool_config_dir>
```
is directly provided by the installer, prioritize using the injected value.

Plan file path =

<tool_config_dir>/plan/plan.<skill-name>.<timestamp>.md

If neither the injected value exists nor
```
<tool_type>
```
can be identified, check the existing directories in the project root directory in the order of
```
.claude
```
->
```
.codex
```
->
```
.opendex
```
, and take the first hit; if none exist, default to
```
.codex
```
.

Task Flow

Phase A: Obtain <skill-name>

Analyze the user's input to determine if the user has passed the <skill-name> to be upgraded.
If <skill-name> is provided, proceed to Phase B.
If the passed <skill-name> is a prompt task, bring the task into Phase B.
If no <skill-name> is provided and no other instructions are given, first obtain the list of skills in the project that are not using plan file-driven mode, then use the AskUserQuestion tool to display an interactive selection menu to the user. The correct format is as follows:

json

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "header": "Select Skill",
      "question": "Please select a skill to upgrade:",
      "type": "select",
      "options": [
        {
          "value": "skill-name1",
          "label": "skill-name1",
        },
        {
          "value": "skill-name2",
          "label": "skill-name2",
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Phase B: Initialization (if plan file does not exist)

Analyze the user's input requirements. First, determine if the user has passed <skill-name>; if so, start the transformation for <skill-name>.
If the passed content is not <skill-name> but a prompt task, bring this task into the subsequent process, i.e., break down the task into specific, executable atomic task steps.

Calculate the plan file path based on

<tool_type>

<tool_config_dir>

<tool_config_dir>/plan/plan.<skill-name>.<timestamp>.md

Create the
```
plan/
```
directory (if it does not exist, create it under
```
<tool_config_dir>
```
)
Create the plan file, write the task list according to the requirements, with all tasks initially in
```
[ ]
```
status.
Stop, start directly in automation mode.

Phase C: Execution Loop (if plan file exists)

Read: Read the current content of the plan file (path:
```
<tool_config_dir>/plan/plan.<skill-name>.<timestamp>.md
```
).
Check:
- If all tasks are
```
[x]
```
  , output "✅ All tasks completed" and display the final summary. End.
- If there are
```
[!]
```
  error tasks, report the error and ask whether to retry or skip.
- Find the first task with status
```
[ ]
```
  .
Execute:
- Focus on executing this single task.
- Use necessary tools (read file, write file, edit file, etc.).
Verify: Confirm whether the task is successfully completed.
Update (Critical Step):
- Must modify the plan file (
```
<tool_config_dir>/plan/plan.<skill-name>.<timestamp>.md
```
  ):
  - Change the current task status to
    [x]
    (success) or
    [!]
    (failure).
  - Append a brief record and result of this operation (accurate to the minute) in the "Execution Log" section.
- Save the file.
Decision:
- If successful and there are subsequent tasks: automatically continue to execute the next
```
[ ]
```
  task until completed or the maximum step limit for a single conversation is reached.
- It is usually recommended to pause after completing each task for user confirmation.

Phase D: Clean Up Context

Clean Up: When the task finally ends (note: ends rather than is interrupted), tell the AI to forget the context to facilitate subsequent conversations. Give the prompt: "Task completed".

Constraints and Best Practices

Persistence: Any progress update must be written to the plan file (
```
<tool_config_dir>/plan/plan.<skill-name>.<timestamp>.md
```
) immediately.
Atomicity: Each task must be independent; process the next one only after completing the current one.
Fault Tolerance: If a task fails to execute, mark it as
```
[!]
```
and record the error reason. Do not get stuck; wait for user intervention.
Transparency: At the beginning of each response, briefly display the current progress (e.g., "Progress: 3/10 tasks completed").
Auto Cleanup: After all tasks are completed, clean up old plan files (retain the latest 3 files or files within the last 7 days for each skill).

Trigger Instructions

When the user calls this Skill:

If the user provides a skill name -> enter Phase A.
If the user says "continue" or "go on" or "go ahead" -> enter Phase B.

Task Execution Instructions

Task 1: Check if the target skill exists

Read the

skills/<skill-name>/

directory to confirm the target skill exists.

Task 2: Read the SKILL.md file of the target skill

Read and analyze the content of the target skill's SKILL.md file.

Task 3: Determine if it is already plan-driven

Check if SKILL.md contains the following features:

"File-based task status management"
"plan file"
"Phase A" and "Phase B"
Principles such as "Persistence", "Atomicity", "Fault Tolerance", "Transparency"

If the above features are included, it means it is already plan-driven, and the task is completed. Otherwise, continue the transformation.

Task 4: Read the planify-template.md template

Read the

planify-template.md

file in this skill's directory to obtain the template content of the event-driven mechanism.

Task 5: Transform the SKILL.md of the target skill

Integrate the event-driven part from planify-template.md into the target skill's SKILL.md:

Add the "Role Definition" section at the beginning of SKILL.md (after the YAML front matter)
Add the "Core Mechanism: File-Based Task Status Management" chapter, including:
- Task file specifications
- Task flow (Phase A and Phase B)
- Constraints and best practices
- Trigger instructions
Check the original core functions of the skill. If the original skill steps are clear, keep the core functions unchanged and only add the event-driven mechanism. If not clear, generate correct steps under the premise of keeping the original functions unchanged to meet the requirements of plan file-driven mode.

Task 6: Verify the transformation result

Read the transformed SKILL.md to confirm:

The event-driven mechanism has been correctly added
Original functions are not damaged
The format is correct and the structure is clear

Task 7: Add the plan directory to the

.gitignore

file

Calculate the directory based on

<tool_type>

<tool_config_dir>

, and add the

<tool_config_dir>/plan/

directory to the

.gitignore

file in the current project root directory. If it already exists, no changes are needed.

Note: This task is executed in the target project, not in the installation directory of the planify skill.

Task 8: Clean up old plan files

Traverse the

<tool_config_dir>/plan/

directory, and clean up the plan files for each skill:

Sort by timestamp, retain the latest 3 files for each skill
Or retain files within the last 7 days
Delete old files that do not meet the conditions

Task 9: Output the transformation summary

Display the comparison before and after the transformation, explaining which parts were added or modified.
