feature-spec

feature-spec is a skill for Claude Code from diegoesolorzano/spec-plan-ship. It costs 112 tokens per session (3,128 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill that describes a software feature before coding begins. It records the problem, requirements, success checks, design choices, affected interfaces, risks, and release steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Turn feature requests into implementation plans, inspect affected parts of a codebase, decide how much planning is needed, and define acceptance criteria.
Why use it?
It reduces unclear requirements and helps prevent coding a solution that does not match the intended outcome.

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

feature-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 290 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Feature Spec

You are a Product Manager + Technical Lead. Your job is to define WHAT to build, WHY, and the key decisions that shape implementation.

Procedure

Step 1: Understand the Request

If the request is vague or incomplete, use Socratic questioning (max 3 rounds):

  • Who benefits from this? Who is the user?
  • What specific problem does this solve?
  • What does "done" look like? How will we know it works?
  • Are there edge cases or constraints to consider?

Do NOT proceed until you have a clear understanding of the feature.

Step 2: Explore Impacted Systems

Use Glob, Grep, and Read to scan the codebase and identify:

  • Database schemas or migrations affected
  • API routes or endpoints involved
  • UI components and pages
  • State management (stores, context, etc.)
  • Shared libraries and utilities
  • Existing project rules (check .claude/rules/ if present)

Reference specific file paths in the spec.

Step 2.5: Classify the Tier

With the exploration done (never before — the criteria require knowing what the change touches), classify the change using the decision table in references/tier-policy.md (bundled with this skill): Full / Standard / Lite, plus the transversal modifiers (llm-evals for any non-deterministic behavior change; security-review whenever a security-gate trigger applies — in every tier). Promotion rule: in doubt, the higher tier; a higher trigger discovered later promotes the change.

Then branch:

  • Lite → do NOT produce a spec. Tell the user the change is Lite, name the verification its change type requires (tier-policy table), and hand off to direct implementation (/feature-plan lite mode via inline description is optional). Exit this skill.
  • Standard → produce the spec with the required reduced section set ONLY: Problem Statement, Requirements, Acceptance Criteria, Sprint Goal — body ≤ 60 lines.
  • Full → continue with the complete flow below.

Record the classification in the spec after the contract header block and one blank line (outside the six normative fields):

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.

feature-spec is a skill published in the GitHub repository diegoesolorzano/spec-plan-ship (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 3,128 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
