Plannotator Compound
by backnotprop · 11K installs
The skill
Plannotator compound reads a planner's archive of denied plans, sorts the feedback into a taxonomy, and builds an HTML dashboard with corrective prompt instructions.
Only when you ask.
The habit
Fewer denied plans each month.
↻ Runs by itselffirst day each month
How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one report per run; re-launches a failed extraction batch at most once.
- 01
Pick the source
Use the Plannotator plans folder, or fall back to Claude Code ExitPlanMode denial reasons, or ask you for a folder.
- 02
Find last report
Find the highest compound-planning-report version and ask you whether to run incremental or full.
- 03
Count the archive
Count approved and denied files, the date range and the revision rate, and warn you if fewer than 3 new denials exist.
- 04
Extract each denial
Haiku agents read every in-scope denied file and write structured notes to /tmp/compound-planning/.
- 05
Reduce to patterns
A Sonnet agent builds the denial taxonomy, recurring phrases, evolution over time and numbered prompt instructions.
- 06
Build the dashboard
Write a self-contained HTML report with seven sections in the plans folder under the next version name.
- 07
Summarize
Tell you the top three patterns, the share of denials the instructions cover and where the report lives.
- 08
Offer the hook
Ask whether to write the instructions to enterplanmode-improve-hook.txt, and replace, merge or keep an existing one.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only in~/.plannotator/plans/compound-planning-report*.html, ~/.plannotator/hooks/compound/enterplanmode-improve-hook.txt, /tmp/compound-planning/**

Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.
Read both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Plannotator Compound skill helps.
Use it when
- ✓ you deny many agent plans
- ✓ you want your feedback patterns in numbers
- ✓ you want a prompt fix from your own words
Skip it when
- – you have no denied plans yet
- – you never review agent plans
Plannotator Compound skill, answered.
Do I need Plannotator?
No. Without a Plannotator archive the skill reads denial reasons from Claude Code ExitPlanMode transcripts instead.
Does each run re-read everything?
Only if you pick a full run. An incremental run reads denied files dated after the last report.
What does the hook do?
It saves the corrective instructions to a file that Plannotator injects into future planning sessions.
How do I install the Plannotator Compound skill?
Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from backnotprop/plannotator and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add backnotprop/plannotator --skill plannotator-compound.
