specflow-use

A guide for using Grid Dynamics SpecFlow through its MCP connection, a way for a coding agent to send requests to remote tools. It reads project details from local configuration files and helps choose the right SpecFlow stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a project mentions SpecFlow or is enabled for it. It helps load project context, select the next workflow phase, send work through SpecFlow, and download results.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember the remote tool workflow or operate remote workspaces directly. It also shows whether the current project is set up for SpecFlow.

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

specflow-use 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.

SpecFlow Use

This skill helps you drive Grid Dynamics SpecFlow from a local workspace via SpecFlow MCP. Rosetta stays local; SpecFlow runs everything remotely. The skill loads project context from gain.json and guides the user through SpecFlow MCP tool usage.

SpecFlow MCP is the only user interface to SpecFlow: you order work and download outputs. You do not connect to or operate on the remote workspaces directly.

Quick Start

When the user mentions SpecFlow or works in a SpecFlow-enabled project:

  1. Detect gain.json at the workspace root (and up to 2 parents). If missing, SpecFlow MCP will create it on the first tool call (together with specflow_session.json).
  2. Load and summarize the project context.
  3. Guide the user to the right phase using references/specflow-mcp-tools.md.

Step 1: Detect gain.json

Check for gain.json at the current workspace root. If not found, check parent directories up to 2 levels. If still missing, tell the user this workspace is not yet initialized for SpecFlow — the first SpecFlow MCP tool call will create both gain.json and specflow_session.json.

Step 2: Parse and Display Context

When gain.json is found, present a compact summary:

## SpecFlow Project Context

**Description**: [gain.json.description]
**Services**: specflow — [gain.json.servicesDescription.specflow]
             rosetta  — [gain.json.servicesDescription.rosetta]
**Supported Coding Agents**: [gain.json.codingAgents]
**Versions**:
  - rosetta: [gain.json.versions.rosetta]
  - specflow:    [gain.json.versions.specflow]
**Vocabulary overrides** (if present in gain.json.vocabulary):
  - (See references/specflow-vocabulary.md for defaults.)

Version Compatibility Check

Compare gain.json.versions.rosetta with the current Rosetta version:

  • Minor difference: warn and continue.
  • Major difference: alert the user about potential incompatibilities.

Step 3: Guide the User Journey

Read references/specflow-mcp-tools.md to route the user to the correct phase (pregeneration, generation, or post-run).

What ships with it

3 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.

specflow-use is a skill published in the GitHub repository griddynamics/rosetta (341 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 698 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
