speckit.spex.using-superpowers

speckit.spex.using-superpowers is a command for Claude Code from rhuss/cc-spex. It costs 19 tokens per session (3,167 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An entry point for spex, a development method where written specifications guide the code and remain the reference for checking it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover the right spex workflow or skill for a task, create specifications before coding, check code against those specifications, and detect when the implementation has drifted from them.
Why use it?
It provides a defined route through planning, implementation, testing, review, and verification instead of relying on an informal process. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing tests as part of guiding the implementation.

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.spex.using-superpowers 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 7d 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.

IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.

This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this.

Getting Started with spex

What is spex?

SDD = Specification-Driven Development. spex is the Claude Code plugin that implements it.

SDD is a development methodology where specifications are the single source of truth:

  • Specs created before code
  • Code validated against specs
  • Specs evolve with implementation reality
  • Quality gates enforce spec compliance

This plugin combines two upstream projects:

  • Superpowers (by Jesse Vincent): Process discipline, TDD enforcement, verification gates, anti-rationalization patterns, and foundational skills (debugging, git worktrees, parallel agents)
  • Spec-Kit (by GitHub): Specification templates, artifact management, and the specify CLI

spex extends these with spec-first enforcement, compliance scoring, drift detection, and evolution. Several upstream superpowers skills are modified with spec-awareness (verification, code review, brainstorming, plan review), while others are used unchanged.

Technical Prerequisites

All technical setup is handled by /spex:init. Spec-kit and extensions must be initialized before using any workflow command. If .specify/ directory does not exist, tell the user to run /spex:init first. Do not check for or search for any CLI tools. Focus on choosing the right workflow.

MANDATORY FIRST RESPONSE PROTOCOL

Before responding to ANY user message, you MUST complete this checklist:

  1. List available spex skills in your mind
  2. Ask yourself: "Does ANY spex skill match this request?"
  3. If yes -> Use the Skill tool to read and run the skill file
  4. Announce which skill you're using
  5. Follow the skill exactly

Responding WITHOUT completing this checklist = automatic failure.

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.
