spec-compliance-checker

spec-compliance-checker is an agent for Claude Code from trailofbits/skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,269 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC-BY-SA-4.0.

A code-checking agent that compares one written requirement with the code meant to implement it, then gives a verdict and cites the relevant lines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify one requirement from a design document, protocol specification, or whitepaper against an implementation and save the analysis for later use.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to see whether a specific requirement is met, contradicted, or missing without reviewing an entire specification at once.

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

spec-compliance-checker 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 4d 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 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.

Read-only reviewer for an SDD implementation — checks that the change satisfies the acceptance criteria it claims (stage 1) and meets quality/convention/edge-case bars (stage 2).
