Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00015 | $0.00464 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00232 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00093 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
speckit.companion.after-specify 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
Capture Spec Context
Record the active feature's current pipeline step into .spec-context.json so the
SpecKit Companion GUI re-renders with the correct step and status. This command
runs as the after_specify lifecycle hook — state-writing only; the spec
directory and files are created by the core speckit.specify workflow.
Prerequisites
- Verify Python is available by running
python3 --version. - If
python3is not available, warn the user and skip the capture:[companion] Warning: python3 not detected; skipped .spec-context.json capture. Do not fail the host command.
Execution
Run the writer script from the repository root:
python3 .specify/extensions/companion/scripts/write-context.py --step specify --status specified --by extension
The script resolves the active feature directory on its own, in this order:
--feature-dir → SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY env → SPECIFY_FEATURE env →
.specify/feature.json → current git branch prefix.
If you already know the feature directory (e.g. the one speckit.specify just
created), pass it explicitly so resolution is unambiguous:
python3 .specify/extensions/companion/scripts/write-context.py --feature-dir specs/<NNN>-<slug> --step specify --status specified --by extension
Graceful Degradation
The script is best-effort and never fails the host command:
- If
python3is missing, skip with the warning above. - If the active feature directory cannot be resolved, the script prints a warning to stderr and exits 0 without writing.
Output
On success the script prints the path it updated and the values written, e.g.:
[companion] Updated specs/<NNN>-<slug>/.spec-context.json (currentStep=specify, status=specified, by=extension).
The write is atomic (temp file + rename) and appends to the canonical history[] without
rewriting existing entries.
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.

speckit.companion.after-specify is a command published in the GitHub repository alfredoperez/speckit-companion (90 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 464 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
