specrails-core: Skill for Codex

.codex/skills/openspec-onboard/SKILL.md

openspec-onboard is a skill for Codex from fjpulidop/specrails-core. It costs 26 tokens per session (3,379 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of openspec-onboard, MIT.

A guided introduction to OpenSpec, a workflow for planning and applying software changes through documents such as proposals, specifications, designs, and tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a first end-to-end OpenSpec cycle: choose a task, create its planning documents, implement it, and archive the completed change.
Why use it?
It helps someone learn the workflow by completing a small real change instead of reading instructions alone.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: installed under .codex/.

This is fjpulidop/specrails-core's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on specrails-core 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 specrails-core configures →

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

openspec-onboard 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 8d 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

80% identical to openspec-onboard — 76 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 553 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Guide the user through their first complete OpenSpec workflow cycle. This is a teaching experience—you'll do real work in their codebase while explaining each step.


Preflight

Before starting, check if the OpenSpec CLI is installed:

# Unix/macOS
openspec --version 2>&1 || echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# if (Get-Command openspec -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { openspec --version } else { echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED" }

If CLI not installed:

OpenSpec CLI is not installed. Install it first, then come back to /opsx:onboard.

Stop here if not installed.


Phase 1: Welcome

Display:

## Welcome to OpenSpec!

I'll walk you through a complete change cycle—from idea to implementation—using a real task in your codebase. Along the way, you'll learn the workflow by doing it.

**What we'll do:**
1. Pick a small, real task in your codebase
2. Explore the problem briefly
3. Create a change (the container for our work)
4. Build the artifacts: proposal → specs → design → tasks
5. Implement the tasks
6. Archive the completed change

**Time:** ~15-20 minutes

Let's start by finding something to work on.

Phase 2: Task Selection

Codebase Analysis

Scan the codebase for small improvement opportunities. Look for:

  1. TODO/FIXME comments - Search for TODO, FIXME, HACK, XXX in code files
  2. Missing error handling - catch blocks that swallow errors, risky operations without try-catch
  3. Functions without tests - Cross-reference src/ with test directories
  4. Type issues - any types in TypeScript files (: any, as any)
  5. Debug artifacts - console.log, console.debug, debugger statements in non-debug code
  6. Missing validation - User input handlers without validation

Also check recent git activity:

# Unix/macOS
git log --oneline -10 2>/dev/null || echo "No git history"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# git log --oneline -10 2>$null; if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { echo "No git history" }

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.
