repobrain: Command for Claude Code

.github/prompts/openspec-archive.prompt.md

openspec-archive is a command for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot from study8677/repobrain. It costs 10 tokens per session (428 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for archiving a deployed OpenSpec change and updating its specifications. It first identifies and validates which change should be archived.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after deployment to select a confirmed change, archive it, and bring the project's specs up to date.
Why use it?
It prevents the wrong change from being closed when the request is vague or names an invalid change ID.

This is study8677/repobrain's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and GitHub Copilot how to work on repobrain itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything repobrain configures →

About the project

RepoBrain is a repository knowledge engine that lets coding agents ask grounded questions about a codebase and receive answers linked to source files and lines. It is for developers using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and other AI coding tools. Catalogue add-ons extend its commands, instructions, skills, rules, plugin, and hook workflows.

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

openspec-archive 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

$ARGUMENTS

Guardrails

  • Favor straightforward, minimal implementations first and add complexity only when it is requested or clearly required.
  • Keep changes tightly scoped to the requested outcome.
  • Refer to openspec/AGENTS.md (located inside the openspec/ directory—run ls openspec or openspec update if you don't see it) if you need additional OpenSpec conventions or clarifications.

Steps

  1. Determine the change ID to archive:
    • If this prompt already includes a specific change ID (for example inside a <ChangeId> block populated by slash-command arguments), use that value after trimming whitespace.
    • If the conversation references a change loosely (for example by title or summary), run openspec list to surface likely IDs, share the relevant candidates, and confirm which one the user intends.
    • Otherwise, review the conversation, run openspec list, and ask the user which change to archive; wait for a confirmed change ID before proceeding.
    • If you still cannot identify a single change ID, stop and tell the user you cannot archive anything yet.
  2. Validate the change ID by running openspec list (or openspec show <id>) and stop if the change is missing, already archived, or otherwise not ready to archive.
  3. Run openspec archive <id> --yes so the CLI moves the change and applies spec updates without prompts (use --skip-specs only for tooling-only work).
  4. Review the command output to confirm the target specs were updated and the change landed in changes/archive/.
  5. Validate with openspec validate --strict and inspect with openspec show <id> if anything looks off.

Reference

  • Use openspec list to confirm change IDs before archiving.
  • Inspect refreshed specs with openspec list --specs and address any validation issues before handing off.

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.
