ds-plan-loop

Write a numbered plan with an acceptance check for each step, critique it once in a fresh pass, revise it, then execute one step at a time. Use when a task touches more than one file, has unclear scope, or failed before because steps were missed. Invoke as /ds-plan-loop.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by aicodeking on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Ds Plan Loop AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/aicodeking/deepseek-stack/tree/main/skills/ds-plan-loop
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/aicodeking/deepseek-stack.git /tmp/deepseek-stack
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/deepseek-stack/skills/ds-plan-loop .claude/skills/ds-plan-loop

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ds Plan Loop in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Ds Plan Loop on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Ds Plan Loop is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

ds-plan-loop

Plan before coding, check the plan once, then build the task one verified step at a time.

Steps

Restate the goal in one sentence. List the files and commands you expect to touch. Read those files before you plan. Do not plan from memory.
Write a numbered plan. Each step gets one action and one acceptance check that a command or a direct observation can confirm, for example "npm test -- auth passes" or "GET /health returns 200". Keep each step small enough to verify in a single diff.
Write the plan to a file (PLAN.md, or the PROGRESS.md from ds-context-reset) so later steps and fresh sessions can read it.
Critique the plan in a fresh pass. Reread only the goal and the plan, as a reviewer who did not write it. If you can, run the critique in a subagent or new session. Answer three questions:
- Which step is missing (setup, migration, config, tests, cleanup)?
- Which assumption has not been checked against the code or docs?
- Is there a simpler path that reaches the same goal with fewer steps?
Revise the plan. Check each risky assumption now by reading code or running a command. Do not carry it forward as a guess.
Execute step 1 only. Run its acceptance check and read the real output. Use ds-verify-loop when the check fails.
Mark the step done in the plan file, along with the evidence (command and result). Then move to the next step.
If a step shows that the plan is wrong, stop and revise the remaining steps before continuing. Do not improvise around it.

Stop when

Every step is marked done and its check passed, and the original goal holds when you check it end to end.
You have done 2 critique rounds. A third round almost never finds anything new, so execute.
A step fails its check twice in a row. Switch to ds-unstick.

Rules

No step without a check. "Looks right" is not a check.
Do one step per diff. Do not batch steps to save time.
Do not add steps that the goal does not need.
Keep the plan short: about 3-10 steps. Split bigger work into separate plans.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ds Plan Loop AI skill do?

Why use Ds Plan Loop on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ds Plan Loop is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Ds Plan Loop in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/aicodeking/deepseek-stack/tree/main/skills/ds-plan-loop. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Ds Plan Loop?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Ds Plan Loop?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Ds Plan Loop with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Ds Plan Loop AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by aicodeking under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
