import

A command that imports GitHub Spec Kit artifacts into local Dotdog knowledge graphs. Spec Kit is a format for organizing feature specifications, while a knowledge graph stores connected project information for later use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in a Spec Kit project containing .specify and specs directories. It imports feature data, optionally replaces generated files when explicitly forced, compiles the graphs, and reports the result.
Why use it?
It turns project specifications into locally compiled graphs without changing the original specification files. Strict input and path checks help keep the import limited to the current project.

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

import 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 yesterday.

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

Import Spec Kit artifacts

Prerequisites

  1. Run this command from the root of a GitHub Spec Kit project containing .specify/ and specs/.
  2. Confirm dotdog --version is 0.9.0 or newer.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

This command accepts either no input or the exact word force. Do not interpolate $ARGUMENTS into a shell command. Reject paths, flags, command substitutions, separators, redirects, and any other input. Work only in the current project root.

Steps

  1. Verify that the current directory contains real, non-symlinked .specify/ and specs/ directories. Stop on any mismatch.

  2. Run the local-only import:

    dotdog speckit import . --json
    
  3. Add --force only when $ARGUMENTS is exactly force and the user explicitly requested replacement of edited generated files:

    dotdog speckit import . --json --force
    
  4. Compile the imported projects:

    dotdog compile .doghouse/speckit
    
  5. Report the imported feature IDs, written/unchanged/skipped counts, and compile result.

Safety

  • Never execute user input as shell text.
  • Do not modify .specify/ or specs/.
  • Keep generated output under .doghouse/speckit/.
  • Do not add network calls, credentials, telemetry, background processes, or elevated privileges.
  • Stop and report the error if Dotdog rejects a symlink, protected path, edited output, or out-of-root path.
Changes

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.

import is a command published in the GitHub repository specdog/dotdog (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 376 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.
