spec-status

A command that reports the progress of one or more feature specifications by reading their requirements, design, and task files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to count tasks, show pending or in-progress work, check dependencies and todo synchronization, and calculate verified completion.
Why use it?
It distinguishes work that is merely marked complete from work that is also connected to the system and verified.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-status 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 3d 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.

/spec-status Command

Display the current status and progress of a spec.

Workflow

1. Identify Specs

Look for existing specs in .claude/specs/:

If multiple specs exist, show status for all or ask which one to detail.

2. Read Spec Files

For each spec, read:

  • requirements.md - count user stories AND parse ## Depends On section for dependency names
  • design.md - verify exists
  • tasks.md - count and categorize tasks

Dependency Parsing: Look for a ## Depends On section in requirements.md. Extract each - <spec-name> bullet as a dependency. If the section is absent or contains only comments, the spec has no dependencies.

3. Calculate Progress

Parse tasks.md to count:

  • Total tasks
  • Pending tasks
  • In-progress tasks
  • Completed tasks (Status: completed)
  • Wired tasks (Wired: yes)
  • Verified tasks (Verified: yes)
  • Completion percentage (based on verified, not just completed)

Important: A task is only truly "done" when it is completed AND wired AND verified. Display this distinction clearly.

4. Check Todo Sync

Compare tasks.md with Claude Code todos (TaskList):

  • Are all tasks synced?
  • Are statuses in sync?
  • Any orphaned todos?

5. Display Status

Output a formatted status report:

## Spec Status: <feature-name>

### Overview
- Requirements: X user stories
- Design: Complete / In Progress / Missing
- Tasks: Y total

### Progress
| Status | Count | Percentage |
|--------|-------|------------|
| Verified (done) | Z | ZZ% |
| Wired (not verified) | A | AA% |
| Completed (not wired) | B | BB% |
| In Progress | C | CC% |
| Pending | D | DD% |

### Progress Bar
[████████░░░░░░░░] 50% verified

### Integration Health
- Tasks completed but NOT wired: X (these need wiring!)
- Tasks wired but NOT verified: Y (these need testing!)

### Current Focus
- In Progress: T-5: Implement authentication endpoint

### Blocked Tasks
- T-8: Integration tests (blocked by T-5, T-6)

### Dependencies
- auth-system: COMPLETE (10/10 verified) [does not block execution]
- database-migrations: INCOMPLETE (3/5 verified) [BLOCKS EXECUTION]

### Unwired Tasks (Action Needed)
- T-3: Create user profile component (Status: completed, Wired: no)
  -> Needs: Route registration, navigation link

### Next Up
- T-6: Create session management
- T-7: Implement logout endpoint

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.

spec-status is a command published in the GitHub repository Habib0x0/spec-driven-plugin (10 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 1,055 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 2026-08-31.
