checklist

A command that creates a tailored checklist for checking whether software requirements are complete, clear, and consistent. It can use the project's constitution file, which records project principles and quality rules, when one exists.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate quality checks for a feature's requirements and to include project-specific rules in those checks.
Why use it?
It makes requirement reviews repeatable and helps reveal missing details or contradictions before development begins.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 20 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,327 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

checklist 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 2d 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.

Requirements Quality Checklist Generator

Constitution Compliance (MANDATORY)

Before generating checklists:

  1. Check for Constitution File: Look for .codexspec/memory/constitution.md
  2. If Constitution Exists:
    • Load and read quality standards and project principles
    • Use constitution quality standards as baseline for checklist items
    • Include constitution-specific checklist items where relevant
  3. If No Constitution Exists: Use general best practices for requirements quality

Language Preference

Read .codexspec/config.yml. Two independent language controls apply (each falls back to language.output, then English):

  • Interaction language (language.interaction): language for all conversation with the user — questions, explanations, status messages, and codexspec CLI terminal output.
  • Document language (language.document): language for generated artifact files (requirements/spec/plan/tasks).

Converse in the interaction language and author artifacts in the document language. Apply the project's translation standard to both: translate by meaning (not word-for-word), keep English for terms with no good native equivalent, and write as if originally in that language.

Checklist Purpose: "Unit Tests for Requirements"

CRITICAL CONCEPT: Checklists are UNIT TESTS FOR REQUIREMENTS WRITING - they validate the quality, clarity, and completeness of requirements.

NOT for verification/testing:

  • ❌ NOT "Verify the button clicks correctly"
  • ❌ NOT "Test error handling works"
  • ❌ NOT "Confirm the API returns 200"

FOR requirements quality validation:

  • ✅ "Are visual hierarchy requirements defined for all card types?" (completeness)
  • ✅ "Is 'prominent display' quantified with specific sizing/positioning?" (clarity)
  • ✅ "Are hover state requirements consistent across all interactive elements?" (consistency)
  • ✅ "Are accessibility requirements defined for keyboard navigation?" (coverage)

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.

checklist is a command published in the GitHub repository Zts0hg/codexspec (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,327 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.
