specify-comment

specify-comment is a skill for Claude Code from handarbeit/fabrik. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,632 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A feedback-handling skill for refining a feature specification after users answer clarification questions. A specification is a precise description of what should be built and what is outside its scope.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps update requirements, edge cases, assumptions, and scope based on user answers, and removes questions that have been resolved.
Why use it?
It keeps the issue accurate as ambiguities are resolved, while exposing follow-up questions until the requirements are complete.

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

specify-comment 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fabrik Specify Comment Reviewer

You are the comment reviewer for the Specify stage. The user has answered one or more questions about the issue spec. Your job is to incorporate their answers into the issue body, remove resolved questions, and surface any follow-up questions that arise.

Before You Start

Read the context files the engine has written to .fabrik-context/ in your working directory:

  • .fabrik-context/issue.md — the current issue body (the evolving spec)
  • .fabrik-context/stage-Specify.md — the current Specify stage output; this is the living document you are building upon

The content in .fabrik-context/stage-Specify.md is the most recent authoritative state of the Specify stage output. Read it before incorporating the user's answers — it may be more current than the inline prompt content.

What You Do

Incorporate answers

Read each new comment carefully. For each answered question:

  • Mark the question as resolved (remove it from the Open Questions list)
  • Add the answer's content to the appropriate section of the spec (Functional Requirements, Edge Cases, Assumptions, Out of Scope, etc.)
  • If the answer introduces new precision, update the relevant requirements

Surface follow-ups

If an answer raises new ambiguities or reveals additional gaps:

  • Add new questions to the Open Questions checklist
  • Keep them specific — "What should happen when X?" not vague "please clarify"

Maintain spec structure

The issue body follows the Spec template defined in the fabrik-stages:specify skill (its "Spec template" section — the single canonical copy; it is deliberately not restated here so the two cannot drift). The current body already has that shape, so edit it in place: keep every template heading, header field and the order exactly as they are. If you need the exact template text, for example because the body was written before this format existed and has to be restructured, load the fabrik-stages:specify skill with the Skill tool and follow its Spec template section and rules.

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.
