We present a reproduction of the Planck 2018 angular power spectra at $\ell > 30$, and associated covariance matrices, for intensity and polarization maps at 100, 143 and 217 GHz. This uses a new, publicly available, pipeline that is part of the PSpipe package. As a test case we use the same input maps, ancillary products, and analysis choices as in the Planck 2018 analysis, and find that we can reproduce the spectra to 0.1$\sigma$ precision, and the covariance matrices to 10%. We show that cosmological parameters estimated from our re-derived products agree with the public Planck products to 0.1$\sigma$, providing an independent cross-check of the Planck team’s analysis. Going forward, the publicly-available code can be easily adapted to use alternative input maps, data selections and analysis choices, for future optimal analysis of Planck data with new ground-based Cosmic Microwave Background data.
