spec-review

spec-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from clivejefferies/mobile-debug-tools. It costs 0 tokens per session (536 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for reviewing a specification against the current codebase and documentation. A specification is a written description of what software should do and the conditions it must meet.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate a spec, compare it with code and docs, check whether its contracts are complete, classify gaps, and produce a structured review.
Why use it?
It makes unclear requirements and missing implementation details easier to identify before development starts.

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-review 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 3d 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.

Spec Review skill

name: spec-review version: 0.1.1 summary: Reusable workflow for reviewing specs in this repository with a consistent readiness rubric and output template.

Purpose

Help an agent review a specification for clarity, implementation readiness, and execution readiness against the current codebase. Use a common template so reviews stay consistent across documents and reviewers.

Activation conditions

Activate when an agent needs to:

  • review a new or revised spec
  • assess whether a spec is implementation-ready or execution-ready
  • identify whether feedback is a spec issue or an implementation issue
  • compare a spec against the current src/ contract surface and docs

Surface area (actions)

  • locate-spec
  • compare-against-code
  • assess-contract-completeness
  • classify-gaps
  • produce-review

Core guidance

  1. Read the spec first, then compare it against the relevant code, docs, and tests.
  2. Separate spec gaps from implementation gaps.
  3. Check for: problem clarity, scope boundaries, explicit contracts, acceptance criteria, non-goals, and consistency with existing behavior.
  4. Prefer precise feedback that names the missing contract, unclear rule, or inconsistent behavior.
  5. Use the shared review template in references/spec-review-template.md for the final output.
  6. If the spec is not ready, say exactly what must be clarified before implementation can start.
  7. Classify each blocker as either a spec gap or an implementation contract gap and stop at that boundary.

Inputs & outputs

  • review-spec(input: { specPath, relatedPaths?, focusAreas? }) -> { verdict, risks, specGaps, implementationGaps, recommendations }
  • compare-against-code(input: { specPath, codePaths[] }) -> { matches, mismatches, notes }
  • produce-review(input: { specPath, findings[] }) -> { summary, verdict, checklist, nextStep }

Failure handling

  • If the spec file is missing, stop and report the missing path explicitly.
  • If the spec is ambiguous, classify each concern as either "spec" or "implementation" instead of blending them.
  • If the review cannot be grounded in the current repo, state that the spec is not reviewable yet.

What ships with it

2 files 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.
