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 | $0.00017 | $0.00717 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00358 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00143 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
specrew-version 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.

specrew-version
Type: Informational Skill
Schema: v1
Status: Active
Namespace: /specrew
Canonical command: /specrew-version
Purpose
Show the installed Specrew version and slash-command compatibility state. Reports both the installed/runtime version and the project baseline version from .specrew/config.yml.
When to Use
- When a contributor wants to know which version of Specrew is installed.
- When checking whether the slash-command surface is compatible with the current baseline.
- When diagnosing compatibility issues before or after
specrew update. - Invoke this skill when the user says: "What version of Specrew is installed?", "Show Specrew version", "Is the slash-command surface compatible?", "Check Specrew version".
Boundary Safety
This skill provides version and compatibility information only. It does not authorize or imply approval to advance any lifecycle boundary.
Invocation
/specrew-version [--project-path <path>]
Backed by: specrew version / scripts/specrew-version.ps1
Inputs
| Input | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--project-path |
string | No | Target Specrew project path (defaults to current directory) |
Outputs
- Installed Specrew version (from module or
Specrew.psd1) - Project baseline version (from
.specrew/config.yml) - Slash-command compatibility state:
compatible— the installed version can service the project baseline recorded in.specrew/config.ymlincompatible— the installed version is older than the project baseline; upgrade guidance is shownunknown— the installed version cannot be determined
- Remediation guidance when compatibility is not met:
- For outdated installed version:
Update-Module Specrewor equivalent - For a matching development tree: set
SPECREW_MODULE_PATH - For outdated project baseline:
specrew update
- For outdated installed version:
Argument Whitelist
Only --project-path is accepted in v1. Unknown arguments are rejected with explicit help guidance.
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-version is a skill published in the GitHub repository alonf/specrew (54 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 717 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.
