atmos: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/speckit-specify/SKILL.md

speckit-specify is a skill for Claude Code from cloudposse/atmos. It costs 19 tokens per session (3,677 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of speckit-specify, Apache-2.0.

A specification-writing tool that turns a natural-language feature idea into a written feature specification or updates an existing one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start or revise the specification for a feature described in ordinary language.
Why use it?
It gives a feature request a clearer, shared definition before implementation begins, including any configured pre-specification checks.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter.

This is cloudposse/atmos's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on atmos 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 atmos configures →

About the project

Atmos is an infrastructure runtime that coordinates tools such as Terraform, OpenTofu, Kubernetes, Helm, Packer, Ansible, and containers through consistent commands and configuration. It is for teams running cloud infrastructure on laptops, in CI, or through AI agents across environments and regions. Its catalogue entries provide skills, agents, commands, and other add-ons for Atmos workflows.

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

speckit-specify 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to speckit-specify — 40 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Pre-Execution Checks

Check for extension hooks (before specification):

  • Check if .specify/extensions.yml exists in the project root.
  • If it exists, read it and look for entries under the hooks.before_specify key
  • If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
  • Filter out hooks where enabled is explicitly false. Treat hooks without an enabled field as enabled by default.
  • For each remaining hook, do not attempt to interpret or evaluate hook condition expressions:
    • If the hook has no condition field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
    • If the hook defines a non-empty condition, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
  • When constructing slash commands from hook command names, replace dots (.) with hyphens (-). For example, speckit.git.commit → /speckit-git-commit.
  • For each executable hook, output the following based on its optional flag:
    • Optional hook (optional: true):
      ## Extension Hooks
      
      **Optional Pre-Hook**: {extension}
      Command: `/{command}`
      Description: {description}
      
      Prompt: {prompt}
      To execute: `/{command}`
      
    • Mandatory hook (optional: false):
      ## Extension Hooks
      
      **Automatic Pre-Hook**: {extension}
      Executing: `/{command}`
      EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
      
      Wait for the result of the hook command before proceeding to the Outline.
      
  • If no hooks are registered or .specify/extensions.yml does not exist, skip silently

Outline

The text the user typed after /speckit-specify in the triggering message is the feature description. Assume you always have it available in this conversation even if $ARGUMENTS appears literally below. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.

Given that feature description, do this:

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.
