spec-index

spec-index is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from H2Sxxa/spec-coding-skills. It costs 78 tokens per session (2,474 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local project-memory system that saves and retrieves decisions, constraints, setup instructions, causes of bugs, fixes, and reusable code patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add project knowledge, search for relevant past solutions, check the memory collection, and rebuild its keyword index.
Why use it?
It prevents useful discoveries from being lost between coding sessions and makes earlier solutions easier to find.

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-index 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/index.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spec Memory Index

Use this skill to turn one-off discoveries into durable project memory and to retrieve that memory when a later task would benefit from it.

This skill is about memory with reuse value, not generic note taking. Capture decisions, setup knowledge, root causes, fix patterns, and constraints in a form that future planning and correction work can actually use.

Bundled resources

  • references/template.md defines the canonical Markdown entry shape, YAML frontmatter, category field, and trigger tag fields.
  • scripts/index.py provides deterministic add, best-match search, audit, and rebuild commands for Markdown knowledge bases.

Prefer the script for creating, searching, auditing, and rebuilding the index when the local environment can run Python. If the script cannot run, follow the same template manually and explain why the deterministic helper was not used.

Repository preference override

Before retrieving or saving memory, look for a SPEC.md in the target repository root.

If it exists, treat it as the repository-specific preference layer for:

  • the knowledge-base location
  • capture categories and storage expectations
  • environment and configuration gotchas that are worth remembering
  • cross-skill workflow conventions

If it is missing, use the built-in defaults for this skill series instead of blocking on the missing file.

If it is partial, use the fields it defines and fall back to defaults for the rest.

Built-in defaults

When no repository root SPEC.md is available, use these defaults:

  • knowledge-base root: docs/knowledge-base/
  • knowledge-base index: docs/knowledge-base/index.md
  • entry template: references/template.md
  • indexing helper: scripts/index.py

Search aliases

The search helper ships with no built-in synonym table so it stays project-neutral. Search-term synonyms are a repository-specific concern, so they live with the knowledge base rather than in the script.

To widen retrieval with project vocabulary, add an optional search-aliases.json in the knowledge-base root. Map each canonical term to a list of synonyms; when a query hits any of a group's terms, the search expands to include the rest. Terms may be in any language.

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.

spec-index is a skill published in the GitHub repository H2Sxxa/spec-coding-skills (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 2,474 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
