spec-writer

spec-writer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cuongtl1992/vibe-skills. It costs 125 tokens per session (1,988 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided assistant for writing product feature specifications and PRDs. A PRD, or product requirements document, explains the user problem, what should be built, and what engineering and testing teams need to know.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scope a feature, interview stakeholders, draft or refine a PRD, define requirements, and prepare information for engineering and behavior-based test scenarios.
Why use it?
It turns an unclear feature idea into a structured document by first asking about the person affected, their current pain, and the business reason to solve it.

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-writer 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 11d 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 — 253 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spec Writer

Write high-quality feature specs through structured conversation, then produce a complete PRD document ready for engineering handoff and BDD scenario generation.

Core Philosophy

A good spec answers three questions before anything else:

  • Who has the problem? (not the persona using the software — the human experiencing pain)
  • What pain do they have right now, without this feature?
  • Why does solving it matter to the business?

Everything else — requirements, metrics, scope — flows from clear answers to these three questions. If the "who/what/why" is fuzzy, the spec will be fuzzy too.

The output format is deliberately structured for two audiences:

  1. Engineering — to know what to build and what's out of scope
  2. QA / BDD — to extract business rules and generate Gherkin scenarios (via prd-to-gherkin skill)

Workflow: Interview → Draft → Refine

Phase 1 — Scoping Interview (always start here)

Never jump straight to writing. Conduct a brief interview first.

Start with one opening question, then follow up based on answers. Do not dump all questions at once — feel like a conversation, not a form.

Opening question:

"Trước khi viết spec, mình cần hiểu rõ vấn đề. Bạn có thể mô tả: người dùng nào đang gặp vấn đề gì, và hiện tại họ đang xử lý như thế nào?"

(Adapt language to match user — Vietnamese or English based on how they write)

Follow-up questions (ask only what's still missing after the opening answer):

If missing Ask
Who exactly "Đây là loại user nào? Role, subscription level, use case cụ thể?"
Current pain "Hiện tại họ giải quyết vấn đề này bằng cách nào? Pain point cụ thể là gì?"
Business value "Tại sao feature này quan trọng với business? KPI nào bị ảnh hưởng?"
Scope clarity "Có gì chắc chắn không nằm trong scope lần này không?"
Success definition "Làm sao biết feature này thành công? Metric nào thay đổi?"

Stop asking when you have: a clear user, a concrete pain point, a measurable outcome, and a rough sense of the main requirements. Usually 3–5 exchanges.

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.
