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

smith-specify 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to speckit.specify — 153 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 310 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Workflow requirement (Smith 20+): This skill must be invoked from inside an active top-level workflow (/smith-new, /smith-bugfix, /smith-debug, /smith-build). The workflow-gate hook will block standalone invocation. To use this skill standalone, start a top-level workflow first.

Vault Logging

Throughout this action, log significant events to the vault session log. Read the session log path from .smith/vault/.current-session. If the file is missing or the vault is not initialized, skip all logging silently.

Timestamps are UTC. HH:MM:SS comes from date -u +%H:%M:%S — never a local clock, never a time from memory. The append already runs through a shell, so read the clock in that same command (TS=$(date -u +%H:%M:%S)) and spend no extra tool call. Substitute the resulting value: an unexpanded $(...) reaching the log is a known regression and will not parse. Every hook-written stamp in this log is date -u, so a local-clock entry lands hours away from its neighbours and skews the workflow window hooks/workflow_summary_lib.py derives from them.

Append entries using this format:

### [HH:MM:SS] /smith-specify <event>

**User Request:**
> <verbatim user message that triggered this action>

**Synthesized Input:** <brief summary>
**Outcome:** <what happened>
**Artifacts:** <files created/modified>
**Systems affected:** <system IDs>

Log at these points:

  1. On invocation — the feature description provided
  2. After system detection — primary system identified, also_affects list
  3. After spec creation — path to spec.md, summary of key requirements and acceptance criteria count

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

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

Outline

The text the user typed after /smith-specify in the triggering message is the feature description. Assume you always have it available in this conversation even if $ARGUMENTS appears literally below. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.

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.
