spec-kit-sync-artifacts

spec-kit-sync-artifacts is a skill for Claude Code from ErikaAX08/erikas-skills. It costs 145 tokens per session (3,423 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A drift checker for specification files: spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md. It compares recorded fingerprints, which are stored summaries of file contents, and locates likely changes by stable IDs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide whether to regenerate a specification, plan, or task list after its source information changes.
Why use it?
It shows when a specification, implementation plan, or task list may be out of date without changing those files itself.

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-kit-sync-artifacts 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.

Sync Artifacts — Drift Detection Skill

Purpose

Answer, with evidence, the question this whole kit exists to answer for the user: did something this specification/plan/tasks depended on change since it was generated, and if so, what needs to be regenerated? This is the mechanism behind "if the file a spec was generated from changes importantly, the plan and tasks should be able to update accordingly."

This skill is deliberately narrow: it detects and reports, using the Content Fingerprint Convention (spec-kit-shared/artifact-conventions.md). It does not regenerate anything itself — that stays spec-kit-generate-spec's, spec-kit-generate-plan's, or spec-kit-generate-tasks's own "Updating an Existing X" procedure, each already written to propagate a change through only the sections it actually touches. spec-kit-sync-artifacts is the shared, canonical definition of the mechanical comparison those skills' own Fase 0 steps already rely on — they reference this file instead of each re-describing hashing/comparison logic independently.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Always consider the complete user message and any files or attachments available in the current conversation, even when $ARGUMENTS appears literally or is empty. The most common inputs are: a feature directory to check, or an explicit note that a specific source document was just edited.

Core Principle

Detection is mechanical. Classification is semantic and stays with whoever regenerates. Propagation is one hop at a time, and never silent.

  • A hash mismatch means "something changed" — not "this is a material change requiring a cascade." The consuming skill (spec-kit-generate-spec, spec-kit-generate-plan, spec-kit-generate-tasks) makes that judgment when it re-invokes its own "Updating an Existing X" procedure.
  • After a source changes, recommend regenerating the directly dependent artifact first (the spec that cites it). Do not presume what the plan or tasks will need until the spec's actual, regenerated content is known — a cascade is a sequence of confirmed hops, not one leap.
  • A task already marked [x] is never silently touched by anything this skill triggers — it is flagged for review instead.

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.
