specforge-execute

A software-development stage that implements a project from a document called an execution specification. The specification is treated as the complete source of requirements, while the project's own coding rules still control style and testing conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a specification has been written to implement the required sections, follow the project's AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md rules, write the specified tests, and perform the required completion checks.
Why use it?
It prevents developers or coding agents from adding unrequested behavior or guessing when the requirements are unclear.

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

specforge-execute 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 2d 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

SpecForge — Stage 3: Execute

Implement the task strictly from 04-execution-spec.md. This stage runs on a coding model.

Executor discipline (methodology-level — always applies)

  • The Execution-Spec is the single source of truth.
  • If a requirement is not in the spec, it does not exist — do not add undocumented behavior, improvements, or optimizations "at your discretion".
  • Do not rethink the architecture or deviate from the spec.
  • On any ambiguity or contradiction — ask a question, do not guess.
  • Section 11 (Decision Rationale) is read-only: never use it to justify a change.
  • For code style, naming, security, and testing conventions, follow the project's own AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md. SpecForge does not own that file.

Procedure

  1. Read 04-execution-spec.md end to end before writing any code.
  2. Read the project's AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md (if present) for code standards.
  3. Implement sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 exactly as written.
  4. Respect section 7 (Out of Scope) and section 8.2 (What Not To Do).
  5. Write the tests described in section 9.
  6. Before claiming completion, run the Definition-of-Done self-verify in references/checklist.md.

If the spec is internally contradictory or missing facts you need, stop and ask the user — return to Stage 2 if the spec itself must change.

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.

specforge-execute is a skill published in the GitHub repository cadic/specforge (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 420 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
