spec-harness-build

spec-harness-build is a skill for Claude Code from chohra-med/expo_boilerplate. It costs 0 tokens per session (350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-by-task software delivery process that implements work, runs tests, independently verifies the result against a goal file, and reviews the changes. Each task must pass before the next one begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run the project tasks under a controlled development pipeline, with separate implementation, testing, verification, review, and learning steps.
Why use it?
It catches incomplete or incorrect work early and prevents the project from moving forward when an independent check fails. Lessons from failures are recorded as new project rules.

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

spec-harness-build 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.

What it actually says

spec-harness-build

Execute tasks.md one task at a time. Per task: implementer writes the minimum diff → tester runs the suite → verifier (separate, clean context) checks against goal.md → reviewer checks scope/style. FAIL → fix + route the cause to learn. Never batch tasks past a failing verifier.

Run it

  1. Load the full procedure — read the command doc and follow it exactly: .claude/commands/spec-harness/build.md (this repo) or the spec-harness source commands/build.md.
  2. Agents — spawn from .claude/agents/: implementer, tester, verifier, reviewer.
  3. Stay inside the 3 pillars — memory bank ( .memory/) · Spec-Driven Development · Harness (ratchet AGENTS.md + verifier + learning loop). Read SPEC-HARNESS.md for how this repo is wired.

Non-negotiables

  • The ratchet only tightens (rules are append/sharpen, never drop).
  • Nothing is "done" until the separate verifier returns PASS against goal.md.
  • Every correction or FAIL cause goes through spec-harness-learn → a dated rule.
  • Never scaffold the second-brain vault. Never commit a client repo unless asked.
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.
