claude-plugins: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/spec-review/SKILL.md

spec-review is a skill for Claude Code from anthony-spruyt/claude-plugins. It costs 59 tokens per session (374 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for checking a technical design document against the repository and, when needed, live systems. It reports findings by severity and can update the document only to fix real issues found in the review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a specification, design document, or plan before coding, including its risks, checklists, trade-offs, and claims about libraries or frameworks.
Why use it?
A design document can make claims that do not match the code, configuration, or running system. This catches those mismatches before implementation begins.

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-review 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 3d 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 it actually says

Spec Review

You are reviewing the spec at $spec.

Instructions

  1. Read the review brief at review-brief.md
  2. Read the full spec at $spec
  3. Spawn a general-purpose subagent to perform the review. Brief it with:
    • The full review brief contents
    • The spec file path to review
    • Instruction to use Context7 for library/framework validation
    • Instruction to verify the spec's claims against the code and config in the repo, and against live systems where the repo alone is insufficient
    • The contents of .claude/spec-review.md in the repo, if it exists: where and how to verify claims in this repo
    • Instruction to cross-reference findings against the spec's own risks table, phase checklists, and tradeoff callouts before flagging — do not raise concerns the spec already addresses
  4. After receiving findings, present results organized by severity
  5. Offer to update the spec based on findings

Rules

  • Findings go in the conversation, not the spec. Don't append review notes, summaries, or review round logs to the spec file: it is the design document, not a review journal.
  • Only edit the spec to fix actual issues identified in findings (incorrect claims, missing sections, design gaps). Each edit should improve the spec's content, not add meta-commentary about the review process.
Files

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.

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.
