SuperSpec: Command for Claude Code

.cursor/commands/ss-create.md

/ss-create is a command for Claude Code, Cursor from asasugar/SuperSpec. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,813 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for turning a plain-language feature request into written project specifications. In boost mode, it also prepares design notes and a task checklist.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to propose new features, choose options such as boost or creative mode, and create the related change documents and branch according to the project configuration.
Why use it?
It gives a feature a documented plan before coding begins and checks the project’s existing rules and plans to avoid duplicate work.

Command for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Claude Code and Cursor: $ARGUMENTS substitution, but also installed under .cursor/. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is asasugar/SuperSpec's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Cursor how to work on SuperSpec itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything SuperSpec configures →

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

/ss-create 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 1mo 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.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Outline

The text the user typed after /ss-create is the feature description. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.

Guardrails

  • Read superspec.config.json first → get lang, specDir, boost, strategy, context, branchPrefix, branchTemplate, changeNameTemplate
  • Pre-task review (refer to AGENTS.md "Before ANY Task"):
    • Read context files, README, architecture docs
    • Inspect {specDir}/changes/ → avoid duplicate changes via depends_on
  • Never create change folders manually — use superspec create <feature> CLI
  • Do not write any code during the proposal stage. Only create design documents

Input Parsing Rules

From user input, extract: mode flags, feature name, intent type, developer, lang.

Extract Rule Example
Mode flags Detect -b/--boost/boost → boost mode; -c/--creative/creative → creative mode; --no-branch → skip branch; flags can be combined /ss-create -b add auth → boost; /ss-create -b -c refactor login → boost+creative
Feature name Remove flags from input, convert remainder to camelCase. Chinese → translate to English first "add user auth" → addUserAuth; "添加用户认证" → addUserAuth
Intent type Semantic inference from input add/new/implement → feature; fix/bug/hotfix → hotfix; refactor/optimize → refactor; docs → docs; test → test; build/deps → chore; default → feature
Developer "@username" or "Developer: xxx" → extract (remove "@"). Fallback: git user name "添加todolist @jay" → user=jay
Lang CJK chars → zh; explicit "zh"/"中文" → zh; "en"/"English" → en; fallback: config lang "添加todolist" → zh

Naming Templates

Config supports custom templates with variables {date}, {feature}, {user}, {intentType}, {prefix}:

  • branchTemplate (default: {intentType}-{date}-{feature}-{user})
  • changeNameTemplate (default: {intentType}-{date}-{feature}-{user})

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.
