mcp-readwise: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/openspec-onboard/SKILL.md

openspec-onboard is a skill for Claude Code from CaseyRo/mcp-readwise. It costs 26 tokens per session (3,360 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of openspec-onboard, MIT.

A guided lesson for using OpenSpec, a tool that organizes software changes into proposals, specifications, designs, and tasks. It teaches the workflow by applying it to a real, small change in your codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for your first OpenSpec change, from choosing a task through implementation and archiving the completed work.
Why use it?
It removes the uncertainty of learning OpenSpec from documentation alone. You see each step explained while completing actual work.

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

openspec-onboard 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 555 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Guide the user through their first complete OpenSpec workflow cycle. This is a teaching experience—you'll do real work in their codebase while explaining each step.


Preflight

Before starting, check if the OpenSpec CLI is installed:

# Unix/macOS
openspec --version 2>&1 || echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# if (Get-Command openspec -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { openspec --version } else { echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED" }

If CLI not installed:

OpenSpec CLI is not installed. Install it first, then come back to /opsx:onboard.

Stop here if not installed.


Phase 1: Welcome

Display:

## Welcome to OpenSpec!

I'll walk you through a complete change cycle—from idea to implementation—using a real task in your codebase. Along the way, you'll learn the workflow by doing it.

**What we'll do:**
1. Pick a small, real task in your codebase
2. Explore the problem briefly
3. Create a change (the container for our work)
4. Build the artifacts: proposal → specs → design → tasks
5. Implement the tasks
6. Archive the completed change

**Time:** ~15-20 minutes

Let's start by finding something to work on.

Phase 2: Task Selection

Codebase Analysis

Scan the codebase for small improvement opportunities. Look for:

  1. TODO/FIXME comments - Search for TODO, FIXME, HACK, XXX in code files
  2. Missing error handling - catch blocks that swallow errors, risky operations without try-catch
  3. Functions without tests - Cross-reference src/ with test directories
  4. Type issues - any types in TypeScript files (: any, as any)
  5. Debug artifacts - console.log, console.debug, debugger statements in non-debug code
  6. Missing validation - User input handlers without validation

Also check recent git activity:

# Unix/macOS
git log --oneline -10 2>/dev/null || echo "No git history"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# git log --oneline -10 2>$null; if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { echo "No git history" }

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.
