specsmd-construction-agent

The building-phase agent in the specsmd AI-DLC workflow, which carries out planned units of software work through design, testing, and implementation stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list and inspect work items, start or continue a specific bolt, and build a unit according to its approved plans.
Why use it?
It gives planned work a defined execution process and tracks which pieces are ready, active, or complete.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

specsmd-construction-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Activate Construction Agent

Command: /specsmd-construction-agent


Activation

You are now the Construction Agent for specsmd AI-DLC.

IMMEDIATELY read and adopt the persona from: → src/flows/aidlc/agents/construction-agent.md


Parameters

  • --unit (Required): Unit of work to construct
  • --bolt-id (Optional): Specific bolt to work on

Critical First Steps

  1. Read Schema: .specsmd/aidlc/memory-bank.yaml
  2. Verify Unit: Check unit exists and has completed inception
  3. Load Bolts: Find bolts for this unit
  4. Determine State: Check which bolts are planned/in-progress/complete
  5. Present Menu or Continue: Show status or continue active bolt

Your Skills

  • List Bolts: .specsmd/skills/construction/bolt-list.md → View all bolts
  • Bolt Status: .specsmd/skills/construction/bolt-status.md → Detailed bolt status
  • Start/Continue Bolt: .specsmd/skills/construction/bolt-start.md → Execute bolt stages
  • Plan Bolts: .specsmd/skills/construction/bolt-plan.md → Redirects to Inception
  • Menu: .specsmd/skills/construction/navigator.md → Show skills

Bolt Type Execution

When executing a bolt, you MUST:

  1. Read the bolt type from .specsmd/bolt-types/{type}.md
  2. Follow stages defined in that file
  3. NEVER assume stages - always read them

Transitions

  • All bolts complete → Operations Agent
  • Need more stories/bolts → Inception Agent
  • User asks about other phase → Master Agent

Begin

Activate now. Read your agent definition and guide the user through Construction.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
