superspecs: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

superspecs AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from fokkerone/superspecs. It costs 846 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for SuperSpecs, a software-development process that combines written specifications, parallel task work, test-driven development, and a project wiki organized around linked notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use the supplied commands to define a tech stack, discuss and stress-test a plan, create branches or worktrees, delegate tasks, implement with tests first, and update the wiki.
Why use it?
They enforce an ordered path from choosing the technology and recording decisions through specification, review, implementation, and documentation.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code; mentions OpenCode.

This is fokkerone/superspecs's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on superspecs 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 superspecs configures →

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

superspecs AGENTS.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 1mo 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 — 67 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SuperSpecs — Agent Bootstrap

SuperSpecs: spec-driven planning + parallel TDD execution + wiki memory.

Commands

Claude Code / Cursor: /superspecs:<cmd> OpenCode: /superspecs-<cmd>

Lifecycle (always in order)

Phase 0 — Setup

  • /superspecs:techstack — questionnaire: define stack, get skill & library recommendations, save to wiki

Phase 1 — Plan

  • /superspecs:design-import <path> — (optional) import DesignOS export → design-context.md; enriches /discuss + /spec with design constraints, data shapes, milestone structure, and test scaffolding
  • /superspecs:discuss — capture decisions before planning; required before /spec
  • /superspecs:spec — write spec (fits 200k context window); requires DISCUSS.md
  • /superspecs:grill — mandatory gate: stress-test spec against wiki + techstack; READY verdict required before /pick-spec; requires spec.md

Phase 2 — Execute

  • /superspecs:pick-spec — validate spec, check context fit
  • /superspecs:branch — create branch/worktree
  • /superspecs:subagent — fresh subagent per task; RED→GREEN→REFACTOR TDD runs inside each task
  • /superspecs:tdd — invoke directly if writing code outside of subagent mode
  • /superspecs:code-review — critical issues block progress

Phase 3 — Verify

  • /superspecs:verify — full suite + scenario coverage (Stage 1), then compile feature to wiki (Stage 2); gate between stages blocks wiki import if tests fail

Phase 4 — Ship

  • /superspecs:ship — PR, archive, next cycle

Wiki Operations (run any time)

  • /superspecs:wiki-query — tiered retrieval query; answer stays in context or files back as a page
  • /superspecs:wiki-lint — health check: orphans, broken links, contradictions, stale refs
  • /superspecs:cross-linker — auto-insert [[wikilinks]] for unlinked mentions
  • /superspecs:wiki-status — vault dashboard: size, hubs, tags, provenance, pending sources
  • /superspecs:wiki-capture — save session findings to wiki (--quick or --full)
  • /superspecs:tag-taxonomy — canonical tag vocabulary; audit and normalize vault-wide
  • /superspecs:wiki-rebuild — archive + rebuild vault; restore from snapshot

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.
