generate-from-spec

generate-from-spec is a skill for Claude Code from danielrosehill/Claude-Taxonomy-Creation-Plugin. It costs 30 tokens per session (644 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for designing a custom taxonomy from a written specification. A taxonomy is an organised list of categories or types, optionally with fields and parent-child relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create product categories, content classifications, evaluation types, or other domain-specific lists.
Why use it?
It turns an informal request into a defined, reviewed structure, reducing uncertainty about the categories, fields, and required level of completeness.

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

generate-from-spec 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 9d 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.

Generate Taxonomy from Spec

Build a custom taxonomy from a user's natural-language or structured specification. Elicit the domain, scope, schema, and generate a structured, reviewed taxonomy ready for load or export.

When to use

  • "Create a taxonomy of LLM evaluation types"
  • "I need product categories for [domain]"
  • "Generate a content classification scheme for…"
  • "Build me a list of [entity types] with [fields]"

Inputs to gather

  • Domain/purpose: What is this taxonomy for? (e.g., "types of software testing", "product categories for an e-commerce site")
  • Expected size: How many entries? (rough order of magnitude)
  • Fields per entry: What columns? (e.g., code, label, description, parent_code, metadata JSON)
  • Hierarchy? Flat or parent/child tree? (defer to hierarchical-taxonomies if complex)
  • Required exhaustiveness: Complete/canonical list vs. representative sample?

Procedure

  1. Elicit and confirm the spec: Ask clarifying questions about domain, scope, fields. Write a brief spec block to show the user you understand the requirement.
  2. Generate the taxonomy:
    • For small sets (≤50 entries): Write directly as a structured list (dict of code → label, description, optional parent_code).
    • For larger or specialized sets (>50 entries, domain-specific): Suggest spawning a research subagent or conducting web research to ensure comprehensive coverage; do not guess.
  3. Assign stable codes: Use snake_case slugs derived from the label (e.g., "Instruction Following" → instruction_following), or suggest numeric IDs if the user prefers. Ensure codes are URL-safe and unique.
  4. Structure the output:
    • Write to data/<name>/<name>.csv with columns: code (PK), label, description, source (how the entry was generated/sourced), generated_at (ISO 8601 timestamp).
    • Also write data/<name>/<name>.json (array of objects, same fields).
    • Include deterministic ordering: alphabetical by code, or by user-specified priority.
  5. Provide review guidance: Print the generated list for the user to review before load. Highlight any entries that seem uncertain or out-of-scope. Never auto-load without explicit approval.
