create-spec is a command for Claude Code from johnreitano/spekka. It costs 0 tokens per session (500 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for creating a complete specification, meaning a written description of a feature and its requirements.

It initializes a dated specification folder, researches requirements, writes the specification, and reports when it is complete.
Why use it?
It gives a feature idea a structured path from initial setup through research and final writing.

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

create-spec 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 2mo 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 Creation Process

You are helping me create a complete specification for a new feature. This combines the spec shaping and spec writing processes into one seamless workflow.

This process will follow 4 main phases, each with their own workflow steps:

Process overview (details to follow)

PHASE 1. Initialize spec PHASE 2. Research requirements for this spec PHASE 3. Write the specification document PHASE 4. Inform the user that the spec is complete

Follow each of these phases and their individual workflows IN SEQUENCE:

Multi-Phase Process:

PHASE 1: Initialize Spec

Use the spec-initializer subagent to initialize a new spec.

IF the user has provided a description, provide that to the spec-initializer.

The spec-initializer will provide the path to the dated spec folder (YYYY-MM-DD-spec-name) they've created.

PHASE 2: Research Requirements

After spec-initializer completes, immediately use the spec-shaper subagent:

Provide the spec-shaper with:

  • The spec folder path from spec-initializer

The spec-shaper will give you several separate responses that you MUST show to the user. These include:

  1. Numbered clarifying questions along with a request for visual assets (show these to user, wait for user's response)
  2. Follow-up questions if needed (based on user's answers and provided visuals)

IMPORTANT:

  • Display these questions to the user and wait for their response
  • The spec-shaper may ask you to relay follow-up questions that you must present to user

PHASE 3: Write Specification Document

After requirements gathering is complete, use the spec-writer subagent to create the specification document:

Provide the spec-writer with:

  • The spec folder path from Phase 1
  • The requirements from planning/requirements.md
  • Any visual assets in planning/visuals/

The spec-writer will create spec.md inside the spec folder.

PHASE 4: Inform the User

After all steps complete, inform the user:

Spec creation is complete!

✅ Spec folder created: `[spec-path]`
✅ Requirements gathered
✅ Visual assets: [Found X files / No files provided]
✅ Spec document created: `[spec-path]/spec.md`

NEXT STEP 👉 Run `/spekka:create-tasks` to generate your tasks list for this spec.

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.
