autospec: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/autospec-plan/SKILL.md

autospec-plan is a skill for Claude Code from ariel-frischer/autospec. It costs 12 tokens per session (1,485 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that creates a YAML implementation plan from a feature specification. YAML is a plain-text format commonly used for structured configuration and plans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after writing a feature specification to review the project rules, extract requirements, research technical unknowns, and prepare implementation tasks.
Why use it?
It turns requirements and constraints into an organized sequence of engineering work and identifies unclear technical decisions early.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is ariel-frischer/autospec's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on autospec itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything autospec configures →

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

autospec-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.

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.

autospec-plan

This Agent Skill is generated from autospec.plan. When the user invokes "$autospec-plan" or "/autospec.plan", load and follow these instructions directly. Treat the text after the skill or command name as "$ARGUMENTS". Do not route back through "autospec plan"; this skill is the prompt for the stage.

Project specs directory: ./specs

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Pre-computed Context

The following paths have been pre-computed and are available for use:

  • FEATURE_DIR: {{.FeatureDir}}
  • FEATURE_SPEC: {{.FeatureSpec}}
  • AUTOSPEC_VERSION: {{.AutospecVersion}}
  • CREATED_DATE: {{.CreatedDate}}

Outline

  1. Load context:

    • Read the spec file at {{.FeatureSpec}}
    • Read project constitution if exists (.autospec/constitution.yaml or AGENTS.md, falling back to agent-specific file like CLAUDE.md)
    • Extract: feature description, user stories, requirements, constraints
  2. Execute plan workflow:

    Phase 0: Outline & Research

    a. Identify technical unknowns from the spec:

    • For each unclear technology choice → research task
    • For each dependency → best practices research
    • For each integration → patterns research

    b. Resolve unknowns through exploration:

    • Examine existing codebase patterns
    • Consider project constraints
    • Make informed technology decisions

    c. Document research findings for inclusion in plan

    Phase 1: Design & Architecture

    a. Define technical context based on spec and research:

    • Language/framework (detect from existing code or choose)
    • Primary dependencies
    • Storage requirements
    • Testing approach
    • Target platform

    b. Design project structure:

    • Documentation files to create
    • Source code organization
    • Test file locations

    c. Identify data model entities from spec requirements

    d. Design API contracts if applicable

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.
