speckit-workflow

A command-line tool for running and managing Spec Kit workflows. A workflow is a sequence of automated steps that can accept inputs and pause for user decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a workflow by its ID or YAML file, pass input values, resume interrupted runs, and install or remove workflows.
Why use it?
It provides one place to discover workflows, start or resume runs, check their status, and manage the workflows available to the project.

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

speckit-workflow 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Spec Kit — workflows

Run and manage spec-kit automation workflows with the Specify CLI specify workflow command group.

Prerequisite: needs the specify CLI. If specify --version fails, install it with the speckit-cli-setup skill first.

When to use

  • Execute a multi-step spec-kit automation workflow.
  • Resume a run that paused at a gate or failed, or check its status.
  • Discover, install, or remove workflows.

How to invoke

# Discover
specify workflow list
specify workflow search <query>
specify workflow info <id>             # details and step graph

# Run
specify workflow run <id-or-path>
specify workflow run <id> -i key=value -i other=value   # pass inputs
specify workflow run <id> --json                        # machine-readable outcome

# Resume / status
specify workflow status <run>
specify workflow resume <run>

# Install / remove
specify workflow add <id-or-url-or-path>
specify workflow remove <id>

# Catalogs (sources workflows are resolved from)
specify workflow catalog list
specify workflow catalog add <url> [--name <name>]
specify workflow catalog remove <index>         # by index

# Step types — see the speckit-workflow-step skill
specify workflow step --help

Notes

  • run accepts either an installed workflow ID or a path to a local YAML file.
  • Pass inputs with repeated -i key=value (a.k.a. --input) flags.
  • Use --json when you need to parse the run outcome programmatically; surface a human summary to the user afterward.
  • If a run stops at a gate, use specify workflow resume rather than re-running from the start.
  • To manage the step types workflows are built from, use the speckit-workflow-step skill.
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.

speckit-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository github/spec-kit-copilot (11 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 561 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
