claude-code-specumentation CLAUDE.md

claude-code-specumentation CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from McGo/claude-code-specumentation. It costs 1,096 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A Claude Code workflow that combines writing a product specification with maintaining its documentation, including publishing documents as PDFs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create specifications, maintain project concepts, generate document types, and expose project documentation through its MCP server.
Why use it?
It encourages agreeing on what to build before coding and keeps the documentation updated as the product changes.

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

claude-code-specumentation 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 3d 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.

Project Overview

specumentation is a Claude Code skill (invoked via /specumentation) that combines specification and documentation into a single workflow. It enforces a "spec first" development approach and maintains living documentation throughout the product lifecycle, with the ability to generate various document types as PDF.

Skill Architecture

The skill has two parts:

Declarative Skill (no runtime code)

  • SKILL.md — Core skill definition with frontmatter metadata and phased execution instructions. This is what Claude Code reads and executes.
  • documents/ — Document type definitions shipped with the skill. Each .md file defines a document type (frontmatter + generation prompt) that the publish phase uses.
  • install.sh — Installer that symlinks the skill and deploys the MCP server.

MCP Server (Python)

  • mcp-server/server.py — FastMCP-based server (~250 lines) that exposes concept documents to Claude Desktop via 6 tools: list_projects, set_project, get_overview, list_concepts, get_concept, update_concept.
  • mcp-server/specumentation-mcp — Bash CLI (~100 lines) for project registration (init) and listing (list).

Deployed to ~/.claude/specumentation-mcp/ by install.sh.

Document Type System

Document types live in documents/ and follow this pattern:

---
name: user-manual          # Identifier for publish command
title: "User Manual"       # Human-readable title
output: "[project]-user-manual-[date]"  # Filename pattern
description: "..."         # What this type produces
---
[Generation prompt with structure and style instructions]

Built-in types: user-manual, elevator-pitch, executive-summary, architecture, ticket-overview. New types can be added by creating a new .md file in documents/.

Key Conventions

  • Skills are installed as symlinks in ~/.claude/skills/
  • SKILL.md frontmatter uses name, description, disable-model-invocation
  • PDF generation uses headless Chrome (--headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf)
  • Documents are never deleted — they form an audit trail
  • Language support via lang=XX parameter parsing
  • MCP server uses FastMCP with stdio transport
  • Project registry at ~/.claude/specumentation-mcp/projects.json

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.
