What is speckit-product-forge CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for Speckit Product Forge, a content and specification project that provides workflows in both a SpecKit extension and a Claude plugin. A monorepo is one repository containing related project parts; here, both forms share the same commands, documentation, and helper scripts.

Use them when changing command files, documentation, manifests, configuration, or helper scripts for the Product Forge workflows.

They explain the project’s layout, distribution formats, command syntax, and version-sync requirement. This helps agents edit the shared source without breaking either installation form.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02455	$0.02455
Opus 5.5	$0.00982	$0.00982
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00491	$0.00491
Haiku 4.5	$0.00246	$0.00246

Security

Grade A, and why

speckit-product-forge 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 16d 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.

What this repo is

Product Forge is a full product-lifecycle orchestrator that ships from one repo in two installable forms (workflows identical):

Form	Manifest	Install	Command syntax
SpecKit extension	`extension.yml`	`specify extension add product-forge --from <zip>`	`/speckit.product-forge.<name>`
Claude Code / Claude plugin	`.claude-plugin/plugin.json` + `marketplace.json`	`/plugin install speckit-product-forge@vaiyav-plugins`	`/speckit-product-forge:<name>`

This is a content/spec repository, not an application. There is no app to build or run. The deliverable is:

33 command files in commands/ (markdown prompt-skills, one per slash command),
normative docs in docs/,
zero-dependency helper scripts in scripts/ (Node CommonJS + two bash lock helpers).

Both distribution forms reuse the same commands/, docs/, and scripts/ — plugin support was added by adding manifests only, nothing was rewritten.

The repo IS the tool. features/, specs/, and .product-forge/config.yml are runtime artifacts the workflows create inside a consuming project — they do not (and should not) exist here. Do not scaffold them in this repo.

Layout

commands/              33 slash-command definitions (markdown + YAML frontmatter)
docs/                  normative specs + templates (see hierarchy below)
  schema/              canonical .forge-status.yml v3 schema + migration notes
  templates/           output templates (gate-review, journey-spec, <command>-<artifact>.md, …)
  reference/           branch-only procedures commands read on demand (<command>-<topic>.md)
  improvements/        dated design/audit notes
scripts/               zero-dependency Node helpers (CommonJS, Node ≥ 22)
extension.yml          SpecKit extension manifest (declares all commands)
.claude-plugin/        plugin.json + marketplace.json (Claude plugin manifests)
config-template.yml    shipped config defaults + authoritative config reference
evals/                 claude plugin eval cases on scaffolded fixtures (results/ gitignored)
CHANGELOG.md           Keep-a-Changelog; current: v1.9.0 "Charmander"

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.
