code: Skill for Claude Code

.specify/extensions/superspec/SKILL.md

superspec is a skill for Claude Code from HelixDevelopment/code. It costs 93 tokens per session (4,245 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specification-driven development workflow that combines project rules, feature specifications, plans, task lists, testing, reviews, and optional delegated agent work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and manage .specify and specs files, refine requirements, plan tasks, execute implementation, and review completed work.
Why use it?
It gives a project a consistent path from an idea to reviewed implementation. Developers can keep requirements, decisions, tasks, and progress in one structure.

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

superspec 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/e2e-agent-claude.sh, scripts/e2e-smoke.sh, scripts/validate-extension-metadata.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.

Superspec

Superspec unifies spec-kit specification-driven development with obra/superpowers agent capabilities into a single workflow. Spec-kit provides the document structure and governance; superpowers provides deep clarification, task decomposition, and engineering execution discipline.

AI-Powered: End-to-End Development Workflow (SDD)

Prerequisites

Required: None. Superspec works standalone with built-in fallback protocols.

Optional (enhanced): Install obra/superpowers skills to ~/.agents/skills/ or .agents/skills/ for richer brainstorming, planning, and execution capabilities. See superpowers-bridge.md for detection and integration details.

Project Structure

When initialized, superspec relies on spec-kit's two top-level directories at the project root: .specify/ for tool metadata and specs/ for feature artifacts.

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.
