A command that turns a story idea into a product-style specification describing what the story should contain, not how to write it. It creates a draft with unclear points marked for later clarification.

For defining a story's plot, themes, audience, characters, quality goals, and required elements in a specification document.

It gives an incomplete idea a structured starting point and makes missing decisions visible before writing begins.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00011	$0.01710
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00684
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00342
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00171

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2mo 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.

用户输入描述了他们想要创作的故事。基于这个描述，创建一个完整的故事规格文档。

用户输入： $ARGUMENTS

目标

像产品规格书（PRD）一样定义故事，明确"要创造什么"而非"如何创造"。输出带有 [需要澄清] 标记的规格，为后续澄清步骤留出空间。

执行步骤

1. 初始化故事规格

运行 {SCRIPT} 获取路径信息：

解析 JSON 获取 STORY_NAME 和 SPEC_PATH
如果是新故事，创建规格文件
如果已存在，准备更新

2. 检查宪法合规性

如果存在 memory/novel-constitution.md：

加载宪法原则
确保规格符合宪法价值观
在规格中引用相关原则

3. 创建故事规格文档

使用以下结构创建规格：

使用 [需要澄清：具体问题] 格式
确保标记 5-10 个关键决策点
这些将在 /clarify 步骤中处理

specify is a command published in the GitHub repository wordflowlab/novel-writer (957 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 1,710 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
