culture-tools: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/spec-to-plan/SKILL.md

spec-to-plan is a skill for Claude Code from agentculture/culture-tools. It costs 181 tokens per session (2,804 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of spec-to-plan, Apache-2.0.

A guided method for turning an agreed software specification into a buildable task plan. It tracks whether the plan covers all confirmed requirements and stated limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a plan, add tasks, define acceptance criteria, check coverage, and inspect what the plan still lacks.
Why use it?
It helps prevent important requirements from being missed when moving from a written idea to implementation.

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-to-plan 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/spec-to-plan.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

spec-to-plan — work a converged spec forwards into a buildable plan

The skill is named spec-to-plan; the product/CLI it drives is the devague plan command group. (The prior leg — turning a vague idea into a spec — is the sibling /think skill.) It is the forward peer of the working-backwards spec engine: where /think converges on what to build, /spec-to-plan converges on how to build it.

A plan is seeded from a converged frame and tracks tasks against the spec's coverage targets. The CLI is deterministic and move-driven — you (the agent) choose the next move; the CLI tracks state and tells you what's still missing. Run devague plan learn for the method and devague plan explain <move> for any single move.

How to run

The entry point is scripts/spec-to-plan.sh. Invoke it from the repository you are speccing (plans persist under .devague/ in the current directory, alongside the frames they derive from):

bash .claude/skills/spec-to-plan/scripts/spec-to-plan.sh <move> [args...]
bash .claude/skills/spec-to-plan/scripts/spec-to-plan.sh status

It resolves the CLI portably — an installed devague on PATH (the normal case), falling back to uv run devague inside the devague checkout, else an install hint. Every move — including status — is forwarded verbatim as devague plan <move>, so you can equally call the CLI directly (devague plan <move> …).

Moves

Move What it does
new --frame <slug> Seed a plan from a converged frame. Derives the coverage targets (c*/h*) the plan must satisfy. Refuses an unconverged frame.
task "<summary>" Add a task. --accept "<crit>", --dep <tN>, --covers <c*/h*> (each repeatable); --origin llm lands it proposed.
accept <tN> "<crit>" Add an acceptance criterion to a task.
depend <tN> --on <tM> Record that task tN depends on tM.
cover <tN> --target <c*/h*> Mark a task as covering a coverage target.
confirm <tN> / reject <tN> Resolve a task. User-only decision.
risk "<text>" --kind <kind> Record a first-class plan risk (--task <tN> to attach).
converge Evaluate the gate against the live source frame; list remaining gaps.
export Write the buildable plan to docs/plans/ — only after converge passes.
waves Emit deterministic dependency waves ({plan, waves}) — scheduling metadata only, not orchestration. Read-only, works on an in-progress plan; refuses a cyclic/dangling graph. Devague describes the graph; an operator decides how to run it (#20).
status Read-only: where the plan stands + the recommended next move, re-checked against the live frame (--json too).
show / list Render a plan / list plans (--json for raw state).
learn / explain <move> Teach the method / explain one move.

1 file 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.
