prospec: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/prospec-upgrade/SKILL.md

prospec-upgrade is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from benwu95/prospec. It costs 112 tokens per session (4,084 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A follow-up procedure for finishing a Prospec version upgrade, a process that updates project documentation and synchronises its agents with the new version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after prospec upgrade to review the generated documentation inventory, offer updates file by file, create still-missing documents, choose an artifact language when needed, and add triggers to newly added skills.
Why use it?
It handles the judgement-based work that an automatic upgrade cannot reliably decide, such as whether changed document formats need updates or whether missing guidance should be added.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is benwu95/prospec's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on prospec 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 prospec 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

prospec-upgrade 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 4d 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.

Prospec Upgrade Skill

Activation

When triggered, briefly describe:

  • That prospec upgrade has recorded the new prospec version in .prospec.yaml and re-synced agents, and you'll finish the judgment steps it cannot do deterministically
  • You'll work through the report's docs inventory (every file prospec init creates): prospec upgrade has already back-filled any that were missing, so you offer to update any whose format has drifted from the latest templates and to enrich the docs it just created that need more than a baseline (e.g. the index's real module table) — asking before each change — plus, as a safety net, create any still marked missing; offer to set an artifact language if the project never chose one (a project from a pre-feature CLI); and localize triggers for skills that have none
  • This is a periodic upgrade flow — re-runnable and self-terminating

Language Policy

Write each generated document in the language the Constitution's Language Policy rule assigns to its path — change artifacts and their archived summaries in the project's artifact language, the trust zone (Knowledge base, Feature Specs, index) in English. One skill run may write both. Free text you pass the CLI that lands in a change artifact follows the artifact language too, leaving its paths, commands, enum values and the fixed prefixes the CLI matches untranslated. Keep code, identifiers, technical terms, and git commit messages in English.

CLI Prerequisite (required)

The prospec CLI is a required file for this skill — its deterministic steps call prospec commands. Probe BEFORE any other step; there is no manual fallback.

  1. Run prospec --version (Bash).
  2. Command not found / not executable → STOP. Ask the user to install the prospec standalone executable — the one-click installer script from the project README (macOS/Linux install.sh, Windows install.ps1) or a release binary from GitHub Releases; prospec is NOT published to npm. Then re-run this skill.
  3. Version older than 2.10.0 → STOP. Report the installed vs required version and ask the user to upgrade, then re-run this skill.

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.
