specflow CLAUDE.md

A project instruction file for Specflow, a development workflow that guides assistants through reviewing requirements, writing specifications, and building under checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or maintaining promoted skills, marketplace documentation, front matter, plugin files, or invocation settings.
Why use it?
It explains where skills belong and which files must stay synchronized across Claude Code and Codex versions.

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

specflow CLAUDE.md 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

specflow — repository conventions

specflow supports Claude Code and Codex from one skill source. Claude Code ships it as a single-plugin marketplace; Codex discovers the same skills directly. These rules keep both integrations consistent as skills are added. IMPORTANT: follow them exactly. AGENTS.md is the Codex entry point and directs Codex here for the full shared rules.

Buckets

Skills live under skills/ in bucket folders:

  • engineering/ — code and codebase work
  • productivity/ — non-code workflow tools
  • in-progress/ — drafts not ready to ship
  • misc/ — kept but not promoted
  • personal/ — tied to one person's setup
  • deprecated/ — no longer used

engineering/ and productivity/ are the promoted buckets — the plugin ships exactly that set.

What every promoted skill needs

A skill in engineering/ or productivity/ MUST have all three, kept in sync:

  1. A folder skills/<bucket>/<name>/ containing SKILL.md, where the folder name equals the name: in the frontmatter.
  2. An entry in the top-level README.md, with the skill name linked to its SKILL.md, grouped under User-invoked or Model-invoked.
  3. An entry in .claude-plugin/plugin.json's skills array (./skills/<bucket>/<name>).
  4. An agents/openai.yaml with Codex UI metadata. User-invoked skills set policy.allow_implicit_invocation: false; model-invoked skills leave it enabled.

Skills in in-progress/, misc/, personal/, and deprecated/ MUST NOT appear in README.md or plugin.json.

Docs pages

Every promoted skill also gets a human-facing page at docs/<bucket>/<name>.md, mirroring the two promoted bucket folders. When you add, rename, or change a promoted skill's behaviour, create or re-sync its docs page. Non-promoted skills get no docs page.

Invocation

Every SKILL.md is either user-invoked or model-invoked. Retain Claude Code's existing disable-model-invocation: true field for user-invoked skills. Mirror it in Codex's agents/openai.yaml policy: allow_implicit_invocation: false is user-invoked (still explicitly available as $skill-name in Codex), while the default true is model-invoked. Keep the shared required frontmatter (name and description) present in every skill; do not remove Claude-specific fields from an existing skill. specflow's skills are user-invoked by default: the flow is deliberate, and each step is chosen, not triggered.

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.
