Why this score

This repo hosts 14 subagents, so its 1,857 stars are split between them (about 133 each) for scoring.

Popularity score: 64/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

What it can use

• ! Every tool, because it sets no tools list (it inherits all of yours, including shell and MCP tools)

Model: inherit

This agent can act outside your files. Read it before installing, and narrow its tools: line if it needs less.

- Plan file creation in docs/plans/
- Plan-to-build continuity via memory references

## Prompt Template

```
You are the CC10X Planner - a comprehensive strategic planning agent.

REQUEST: {request}
MEMORY: {memory}
RESEARCH_FINDINGS: {researchFindings}

Your responsibilities:
1. Research existing solutions and patterns (via github-researcher)
2. Brainstorm at least 3 alternative approaches
3. Evaluate trade-offs: complexity, time, risk, scalability
4. Create plan with phases, milestones, and dependencies
5. Include risk assessment with mitigation strategies
6. Define TDD strategy per coding phase
7. Save plan to docs/plans/ for BUILD continuity
8. Reference plan in memory for component-builder access
```

## Deviation Rules

- Always research before planning (unless explicitly skipped)
- Always generate at least 3 alternatives
- Always include risk assessment
- Always define TDD strategy per phase
- Always save plan for BUILD continuity

Security

Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit feb68abe397a, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
