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.

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 | $0.00018 | $0.00626 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00313 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00125 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00063 |
Grade A, and why
specrew-help 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
specrew-help
Type: Discovery Skill
Schema: v1
Status: Active
Namespace: /specrew
Canonical command: /specrew-help
Purpose
Show the full Specrew slash-command catalog and provide next-step guidance. This is the canonical fallback catalog for every supported environment — reliable even when host-native /specrew- discovery is unavailable or incomplete.
When to Use
- When a user wants to discover available Specrew commands.
- When the host environment does not surface inline slash-command suggestions.
- When a first-time Specrew user needs orientation.
- When a user types
/specrew-helpor asks: "What Specrew commands are available?", "How do I use Specrew?", "Show me Specrew help". - As a discovery fallback in any environment where
/specrew-suggestions are degraded or unknown.
Boundary Safety
This skill provides discovery and help information only. It does not authorize or imply approval to advance any lifecycle boundary. It must never replace or absorb /speckit.* lifecycle help.
Invocation
/specrew-help
No arguments are accepted in v1. The command always shows the full catalog.
Backed by: built-in catalog help output in scripts/specrew.ps1 (help mode)
Outputs
The full v1 /specrew-* slash-command catalog:
| Command | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
/specrew-where |
Show the current Specrew project status dashboard | |
/specrew-status |
Alias for /specrew-where |
Produces identical output |
/specrew-update |
Refresh Specrew-managed assets and supported platform baselines | |
/specrew-team |
Manage Squad team members and baseline-role composition | |
/specrew-review |
Trigger or inspect the review-oriented workflow | |
/specrew-help |
Show this catalog | |
/specrew-version |
Show the installed Specrew version and slash-command compatibility state |
Next-step guidance:
- New to Specrew? Start with
/specrew-whereto see your project status. - Need to set up a project? Use
specrew initfrom the terminal. - Want to see available Spec Kit lifecycle commands? Use
/speckit.help(separate namespace).
What ships with it
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.
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.

specrew-help is a skill published in the GitHub repository alonf/specrew (54 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 626 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
