spectre-execute

spectre-execute is a skill for Claude Code from joenandez/spectre. It costs 33 tokens per session (2,799 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 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.

execute

Preserve dependency-safe parallelism, authority, gates, repairs, finalization.

Inputs

  • $ARGUMENTS: path; --origin plan|fix|delegate; --preflight-plan <xs|light|standard|comprehensive>; wave hints; --orchestrated; orchestrated-only --finalization-owner parent. Default owner: self. Callers provide origin; unknown stays unknown rather than inferred.
  • --review-profile final-only, valid only with --orchestrated --finalization-owner parent; defers intermediate review and requires the orchestrating caller to invoke Skill(spectre-code_review) exactly once on the final candidate; caller owns sequencing, never semantic review.
  • structured: execute index + resolvable tasks.json; malformed structured input escalates, never becomes a plan.
  • plan-direct: any explicit readable plan, including paths, Plan handoff markers, 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 a 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.
  • A --origin fix approved bug-report source adopts its containing BUG_ROOT directly, before feature-root resolution.
  • Keep the invocation checkout.
  • Structured detail precedence: declared Tasks JSON → adjacent tasks.json → sibling .tasks.json; else escalate. Read index whole and task detail by targeted slices.
  • Structured/plan-direct read references/telemetry.md, start/resume one local event run with origin, and follow its primary/worker authority contract. The local workflow store is the sole lifecycle/progress authority; source plans/tasks stay immutable. Summaries retain origin, shape, category, elapsed time, aggregate token measurements only. Plan-direct emits workstream 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 final 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.
