apply-spec-deltas

apply-spec-deltas is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HuginnIndustries/CodeCartographer. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for updating a completed reimplementation specification when later investigation, defect checks, implementation discoveries, or maintainer decisions reveal changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review and classify specification changes, apply supported corrections, preserve unresolved questions, and update the finished document without reopening the earlier pipeline.
Why use it?
It evaluates each proposed change before applying it, reducing the risk of copying incorrect corrections into an otherwise finished specification.

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

apply-spec-deltas 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 today.

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

Apply Spec Deltas

Use this skill when:

  • The pipeline has produced a complete findings/reimplementation-spec/reimplementation-spec.md (the spec is complete in status.yaml).
  • A separate source has surfaced changes the spec should absorb. Common sources:
    • Spike reports (scratch/spikes/<spike-id>/<scenario>.md, written from templates/spike-report.md, plus an optional CONSOLIDATED-DELTA.md when several scenarios merge).
    • Defect-scan re-runs that find corrections to spec text.
    • Implementation discoveries that contradict spec assumptions (e.g., a wire format the spec misread).
    • Maintainer rulings that close prior open questions.

This is a post-pipeline activity. current_phase stays complete. The spec is updated in place; no phase status changes.

Core posture: triage, do not rubber-stamp

The single rule of this skill: don't apply deltas verbatim without thinking. Every delta gets categorized, and only some get applied. Rubber-stamping a delta list produces an incorrect spec — the discipline is the value.

Triage every delta into one of four buckets:

Bucket Definition Action
APPLY Delta is a real correction or required addition; the spec is wrong without it. Edit the spec body. Add a [revised per <source> §<delta-id>] marker at the changed section. Record in DELTAS-APPLIED.md.
CLARIFY Delta proposes wording change; the spec's meaning is correct but the language is ambiguous. Edit the spec wording (not the rule). Record in DELTAS-APPLIED.md as a clarification.
DEFER Delta is a real improvement but not load-bearing for the next implementation step. Add to BACKLOG.md with rationale and a back-reference (templates/backlog-project.md gives the entry shape). Do NOT edit the spec.
REJECT Delta is wrong on close reading (premise was incorrect, scope was misread, the rule it proposes already exists, etc.). Document in DELTAS-APPLIED.md with a one-line rationale. Do NOT edit the spec.

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.

apply-spec-deltas is a skill published in the GitHub repository HuginnIndustries/CodeCartographer (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 1,918 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
