spectre-execute

spectre-execute is a skill for Claude Code from joenandez/spectre. It costs 33 tokens per session (3,358 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task runner that follows a written plan in dependency-safe groups, checking affected work and reviewing the result before finishing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute a feature or other artifact plan, resume planned work, verify affected parts, and perform final review. It does not create plans or handle unplanned fixes.
Why use it?
It helps carry out planned work in the right order and catches problems without putting every implementation detail into the main working context.

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

spectre-execute 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (references/proof/scripts/validate-proof-html.mjs, references/scripts/task-review-safety.mjs), 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.

Inputs

  • $ARGUMENTS: path; --origin plan|fix; --preflight-plan <xs|light|standard|comprehensive>; wave hints; --orchestrated; orchestrated-only --finalization-owner parent. Default owner: self.
  • --review-profile final-only, valid only with --orchestrated --finalization-owner parent; it defers intermediate review and requires the orchestrating caller to invoke Skill(spectre-code_review) exactly once; caller owns sequencing, never semantic review.
  • structured: execute index + resolvable tasks.json; malformed structured input escalates, never becomes a plan.
  • fix-source: bug-report path/root or identifying content—not --origin—selects fix; load references/fix-source.md, not Plan preparation.
  • plan-direct: explicit readable plan, including paths, Plan handoff markers, and legacy Execution Mode: direct headers. The explicit supplied plan wins over ambient task artifacts and enters this preparation contract.
  • No path: use existing same-run source evidence first, then a plan at the confirmed root, then structured-only fallback. No-path selected plans receive this preparation before dispatch. Never infer from branch/recency.
  • --preflight-plan <depth> remains a preparation-depth hint, not authorization, classification, or task-graph switch; a depth hint must not create authority pause. Execution Mode: direct is a legacy coordination hint. No selected readable plan needs a completeness/header ceremony.

Working Set

  • Reuse a managed FEATURE_ROOT only when explicit/current-thread evidence ties it to this work (physical directory wins; never branch/recency/lifecycle/scans); distinct work ignores ambient roots. Otherwise, including on collision, standalone MUST first load and follow Skill(spectre-feature-root) through DONE; orchestrated calls escalate. Keep writes beneath it and pass it unchanged.
  • Keep the invocation checkout.
  • Structured detail precedence: declared Tasks JSON → adjacent tasks.json → sibling .tasks.json; else escalate. Read whole; detail targeted slices.
  • Structured/plan-direct read references/telemetry.md, start/resume local event run with origin, follow primary/worker authority. Local workflow store is the sole lifecycle/progress authority; plans/tasks immutable. Summaries retain origin/shape/category/elapsed/aggregate tokens; Plan-direct emits events. Telemetry failure degrades observation, never delivery authority.
  • SCOPE_DOCS: manifest paths or scope/UX/research cited by the plan.
  • On first selected readable-plan use/resume, read references/plan-direct.md for preparation state. On the first verification failure, review finding, E2E gap, or proof failure, read references/repair-policy.md.
  • Maintain compact verification ledger by HEAD, check id, changed/dependency surface, result, attribution, disposition; controls reruns. Never persist raw output or per-wave evidence/checkpoint/report files.

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.
