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 | $0.00026 | $0.03769 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.01885 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00754 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00377 |
Grade A, and why
speckit.companion.auto 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.
How it starts

$ARGUMENTS
Record this step's start: before anything else runs
A step's recorded window has to contain the work it claims. Stamping the start partway down the body leaves the extension hooks, and any node above the stamp, outside the window the step later reports. So this is the first instruction in the command, ahead of the hooks.
Let <step> be this command's phase and <status> its in-progress status: specify/specifying, plan/planning, tasks/tasking, implement/implementing.
Which feature directory this step stamps against decides when it stamps.
- A step that mints its own feature directory, meaning any fresh-spec entry point such as
specifyorauto, has nothing to stamp against yet..specify/feature.jsonis this step's output: it still points at the previous spec, so stamping now would write this run's status onto finished work. Resolve the directory first, then stamp the instant it exists, before any other work in the step. - Every other step reads the feature directory it was given, from the invocation or from
.specify/feature.json, which by then points at this spec. Stamp immediately, before the extension hooks and before any node.
In both cases the call is the same:
python3 .specify/extensions/companion/scripts/write-context.py --feature-dir <feature_directory> --step <step> --status <status> --kind start --by extension
Add --at "<dispatch time>" when the dispatcher printed one; otherwise the script stamps now. Two things keep this honest:
- Run it, never hand-write it. The script stamps the real clock and writes atomically. A hand-authored entry in
.spec-context.jsonis what corrupts the file. - A second start is refused, not reconciled. History is append-only, so if the extension already seeded this step's start, this call appends nothing and the earlier timestamp stands. Running it is always safe; skipping it loses the window.
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.auto is a command published in the GitHub repository alfredoperez/speckit-companion (90 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 3,769 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.
