/ss-specs

/ss-specs is a command for Cursor from asasugar/SuperSpec. It costs 14 tokens per session (442 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that splits a large software specification into separate files for independent capability areas, such as authentication, an API, or the user interface. A specification describes what a change must do and how its parts relate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for changes covering multiple system modules or capabilities. It is intended for cases where one spec.md would become too long, rather than small or tightly coupled changes.
Why use it?
It keeps large specifications below their line limit and easier to work on. It also makes parallel development possible when capability areas are independent.

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-specs 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 5d 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

Purpose When spec.md may exceed 300 lines due to multiple independent capability domains, split into capability-specific spec files.

When to Split

  • Change spans multiple system modules (e.g., auth + API + UI)
  • Single spec.md expected to exceed 300 lines
  • Need parallel development of independent capabilities

When NOT to Split

  • Single module change or spec.md < 200 lines
  • Capabilities are tightly coupled
  • Rapid prototyping or experimental changes

Capability Domain Types auth (authentication/authorization) · api (REST/GraphQL) · ui (frontend) · data (models/schema) · workflow (business processes) · integration (external systems) · infra (deployment)

Spec Template

---
name: <name>-<capability>
status: draft
strategy: {{strategy}}
depends_on: []
capability: <capability-name>
---
# Spec: <name> - <Capability>

## Capability Scope
## User Stories
### US-<capability>-1: [Title]
## Functional Requirements
### FR-<capability>-1: [Title]
## Cross-Capability Dependencies
- Depends on `auth/spec.md` FR-auth-2
- Provides API-1 for `ui/spec.md`
## Edge Cases

ID Convention: US-<cap>-<n>, FR-<cap>-<n>, AC-<cap>-<n>.<sub>

Steps

  1. Identify 2-5 independent capability domains in proposal.md
  2. Create specs/<capability>/spec.md for each, using template above
  3. Document splitting rationale in design.md
  4. Group tasks by capability in tasks.md
  5. Validate: clear boundaries, explicit dependencies, each spec < 300 lines, IDs follow convention

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.
