speckit.specify

speckit.specify is a command for coding agents from raccioly/docguard. It costs 13 tokens per session (2,608 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of specify, MIT.

A command that turns a plain-language feature idea into a written feature specification and creates a short branch name. A feature specification describes what should be built and how it should behave.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of feature development to record requirements from a natural-language description. It can update an existing specification and uses technical terms and acronyms from the request.
Why use it?
It removes the need to turn an informal request into a consistent starting document manually. It also gives the work a concise branch name for version control.

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

speckit.specify 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

77% identical to specify — 180 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

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

Outline

The text the user typed after /speckit.specify in the triggering message is the feature description. Assume you always have it available in this conversation even if $ARGUMENTS appears literally below. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.

Given that feature description, do this:

  1. Generate a concise short name (2-4 words) for the branch:

    • Analyze the feature description and extract the most meaningful keywords
    • Create a 2-4 word short name that captures the essence of the feature
    • Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., "add-user-auth", "fix-payment-bug")
    • Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
    • Keep it concise but descriptive enough to understand the feature at a glance
    • Examples:
      • "I want to add user authentication" → "user-auth"
      • "Implement OAuth2 integration for the API" → "oauth2-api-integration"
      • "Create a dashboard for analytics" → "analytics-dashboard"
      • "Fix payment processing timeout bug" → "fix-payment-timeout"
  2. Create the feature branch by running the script with --short-name (and --json), and do NOT pass --number (the script auto-detects the next globally available number across all branches and spec directories):

    • Bash example: .specify/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh "$ARGUMENTS" --json --short-name "user-auth" "Add user authentication"
    • PowerShell example: .specify/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh "$ARGUMENTS" -Json -ShortName "user-auth" "Add user authentication"

    IMPORTANT:

    • Do NOT pass --number — the script determines the correct next number automatically
    • Always include the JSON flag (--json for Bash, -Json for PowerShell) so the output can be parsed reliably
    • You must only ever run this script once per feature
    • The JSON is provided in the terminal as output - always refer to it to get the actual content you're looking for
    • The JSON output will contain BRANCH_NAME and SPEC_FILE paths
    • For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot")

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.
