speckit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/spec-kit-workflow/SKILL.md

spec-kit-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from jmanhype/speckit. It costs 49 tokens per session (907 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for specification-driven development, where a feature is described and planned before it is implemented. It covers requirements, questions, technical plans, checklists, and tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define new features, clarify open questions, create implementation plans, generate quality checklists, and organize development tasks.
Why use it?
It reduces unclear requirements and missed implementation work by breaking feature development into defined phases. It keeps the written specification, plan, and task list aligned.

This is jmanhype/speckit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on speckit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything speckit configures →

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-kit-workflow 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 1mo 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.

Spec Kit Workflow Skill

You are assisting with a project that uses Spec Kit - a specification-driven development framework. This skill ensures proper workflow adherence.

Workflow Phases

The Spec Kit workflow follows this progression:

constitution → specify → clarify → plan → checklist → tasks → analyze → implement

Phase Descriptions

  1. Constitution (/speckit.constitution)

    • Define project-level architectural principles
    • Stored in .specify/memory/constitution.md
    • One-time setup per project
  2. Specify (/speckit.specify <description>)

    • Create user-focused specification (WHAT/WHY)
    • Technology-agnostic requirements
    • Creates specs/###-feature-name/spec.md
  3. Clarify (/speckit.clarify)

    • Resolve ambiguities in the spec
    • Maximum 3 high-impact questions
    • Updates spec.md with answers
  4. Plan (/speckit.plan)

    • Create technical implementation plan (HOW)
    • Architecture, dependencies, file structure
    • Creates plan.md in feature directory
  5. Checklist (/speckit.checklist)

    • Generate domain-specific quality checklists
    • Security, accessibility, performance
    • Creates checklists/ in feature directory
  6. Tasks (/speckit.tasks)

    • Generate executable, dependency-ordered tasks
    • Includes file paths, user story references
    • Creates tasks.md in feature directory
  7. Analyze (/speckit.analyze)

    • Cross-artifact consistency validation
    • Ensures spec → plan → tasks alignment
    • CRITICAL: Run before implementation
  8. Implement (/speckit.implement)

    • Execute tasks following dependencies
    • Run tests for each completed task
    • Update task status in tasks.md

When to Invoke This Skill

Claude should use this skill when the user:

  • Mentions adding a new feature
  • Discusses specifications or requirements
  • Asks about planning implementation
  • Wants to understand the development workflow
  • References spec.md, plan.md, or tasks.md files

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-kit-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository jmanhype/speckit (26 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 907 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-01.
