sw-project

sw-project is a skill for Claude Code from anton-abyzov/specweave. It costs 36 tokens per session (650 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project context store that keeps a project's goal, decisions, work items, files and briefs in the repository. It is designed to make that information usable across different AI tools and accounts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialise a project, update its goal and context, record lasting decisions, add work items and create briefs for another coding tool.
Why use it?
Project knowledge can otherwise stay in one chat, account or tool and be lost between sessions. It also helps prevent one session from overwriting newer project information.

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

sw-project 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 20d 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.

sw-project: shared intent across tools

Your tool runs the work; SpecWeave keeps what every tool and account must share, in the repository: the goal (.specweave/project/hub.json), durable decisions (.specweave/memory/), work items, artifacts and routine definitions.

Steps

  1. Read AGENTS.md and .specweave/memory/MEMORY.md, then specweave project show --json. No project yet: specweave project init --name "Name" --goal "Goal" (works without Git).
  2. Keep the goal and shared context current with specweave project set --revision N --goal "..." or --context-file ctx.md. Read the latest revision first; a stale write fails instead of overwriting another session.
  3. Decisions that must outlive this session: one file per fact in .specweave/memory/ and one line for it in MEMORY.md. Never store secrets or a copy of the conversation.
  4. One work item per outcome: specweave project work-add --title "Outcome" --summary "Scope and expected evidence", reusing existing items. Engineering work links an increment with --increment 0042; its ledger and specweave verify stay authoritative.
  5. A fresh assignment for another tool: specweave project brief --intent ID --harness codex (or claude, generic). It is a snapshot, not proof anything started.
  6. Record who ran it when known: specweave project work-record --intent ID --revision N --harness codex --session ID. Omit model and effort when unknown.
  7. Deliverables: specweave project artifact-add --revision N --title "Report" --location reports/report.md --intent ID (files stay in place; HTTPS links work). specweave project work-update --intent ID --revision N --state review marks review readiness; it is not verification.
  8. Routines are definitions: specweave project routine-add --revision N --title "Weekly review" --cadence "Mondays 09:00" --instructions-file routine.md. Only configure a real scheduler when the user has authorized recurring runs.

Follow your tool's own task and subagent rules and the user's authorization; never invent a task or session id. specweave dashboard shows the hub, work board and sessions.

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.
