spec-creator

spec-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from adonai-labs/agent-runway. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,018 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided tool for turning a brief description or existing requirements into a detailed software specification. It supports features, bug fixes, process changes, and internal refactoring work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or refine specifications, prepare implementation-ready work, and organize the work through defined stages and quality checks.
Why use it?
It helps turn unclear requirements into a shared plan that developers can implement. It records both the reason for the work and the planned execution details.

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

spec-creator 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 9d 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 — 261 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spec Creator

Creates development-ready specs using a structured, iterative workflow. This skill is a direct evolution of ticket-creator for teams that want spec-first execution while keeping ticket-creator available for ticket-first workflows.

When to Use

  • Creating a new spec from a brief description
  • Refining an existing markdown requirement into spec format
  • Converting a ticket-style requirement into a spec-ready artifact
  • User says "create spec", "define spec", "refine requirement", "prepare implementation spec"

Supported Spec Types

Type Description
Feature New functionality or enhancement with user-facing impact
Fix Corrective change for existing behaviour
Change Behavioural or process change with moderate scope
Refactor Internal technical improvement with no intended external behaviour change

Core Principles

Apply shared policy: ../shared/caveman-skill-engineering.md

  1. Start with a complete draft, refine with user feedback
  2. Use project docs and code context silently where possible
  3. Balance intent and execution — capture both "why" and "how"
  4. Produce parseable structure for downstream agents
  5. Prefer filesystem-native output first — npm install flow first, marketplaces later
  6. Spec-first without forcing teamsticket-creator remains valid for ticket-first teams
  7. Clarity over volume — include what implementation needs, avoid design bloat
  8. Suggest split when scope is too broad
  9. Support dual entry — tickets may start from spec artifacts or directly from chat
  10. Escalate design intentionally — use architect when complexity warrants it
  11. Decompose implementation intentionally — avoid "single giant function" plans; define atomic responsibilities

8-Phase Workflow

Phase 0: Configuration Loading (Silent)

  1. Check for .cursor/config/spec-creator.config.md
  2. If found, use it as active configuration
  3. If not found, run generic mode:
    • codebase_scanning.enabled: false
    • output.default_destination: markdown
    • output.markdown_path: .agent-runway/specs
    • Continue without blocking questions

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
