specmanager CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for SpecManager, a tool that tracks product features through stages such as approved design documents and implementation. They explain where specifications live and how their lifecycle is managed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing feature specifications, checking lifecycle stages, and implementing work according to the approved project documents.
Why use it?
They help an agent determine which requirements are approved before changing a feature.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

specmanager 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this repo is

This repo is the SpecManager plugin (implemented, not a spec). SpecManager is a Claude Code plugin that turns a project's lifecycle (PRD → Architecture → optional Design → Plan + tasks → Build → Walkthroughs) into a localhost kanban board backed by plain markdown in the target project's repo. Single-user, fully local, bound to 127.0.0.1, no auth. Claude drafts each stage from the previous approved one plus the existing codebase; the human edits and approves in the board; git tracks every artifact.

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.
