inspect

A command that compiles and checks imported Spec Kit graphs. It works with a project directory containing graph files and reports structural problems or missing elements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it from the root of a Spec Kit project after importing the graphs. It compiles the projects, analyzes their structure, and audits generated graph files for required entity information.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable check that imported graph data is valid and complete before it is used. It also limits inspection to the expected project directory and avoids treating user arguments as shell commands.

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

inspect 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

Inspect imported Spec Kit graphs

Prerequisites

  1. Run this command from the root of the intended Spec Kit project.
  2. Confirm dotdog --version is 0.9.0 or newer.
  3. Confirm .doghouse/speckit/ exists. Run /speckit.dotdog.import first when it does not.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

This command accepts no input. Do not interpolate $ARGUMENTS into a shell command. Stop when any argument is supplied.

Steps

  1. Verify .doghouse/speckit/ is a real directory inside the current project root and is not a symlink.

  2. Compile all imported feature projects:

    dotdog compile .doghouse/speckit
    
  3. Run structural analysis:

    dotdog analyze .doghouse/speckit
    dotdog design .doghouse/speckit --json
    
  4. Enumerate generated .dag files only beneath .doghouse/speckit/. For each regular, non-symlinked file, run:

    dotdog audit --require-kind entity --json "<verified-dag-file>"
    
  5. Report failed audits, missing node kinds, model gaps, and the feature directory for each finding.

Safety

  • Never execute user input as shell text.
  • Do not follow symlinks or inspect files outside .doghouse/speckit/.
  • Do not invent domain requirements or modify source Spec Kit artifacts.
  • Do not make network calls, expose listeners, use credentials, or elevate privileges.
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.

inspect is a command published in the GitHub repository specdog/dotdog (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 359 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
