request-to-spec-issues

request-to-spec-issues is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jsuvic/agent-profile. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,334 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for turning an approved product discussion into a specification and small issue briefs ready for test-driven development, or TDD. TDD means writing a failing test before the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create a spec, record non-goals and dependencies, and split work into vertical behavior slices that can be implemented and tested separately.
Why use it?
It preserves the agreed product intent and decisions while breaking large work into focused, testable pieces.

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

request-to-spec-issues 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.

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.

Request To Spec Issues

Purpose

Convert a completed grill-change agreement record into an intent-first spec candidate and vertical TDD-ready issue briefs. Preserve product intent and decision rules so implementation choices follow the agreed direction.

Preconditions

  • The grill is complete and its agreement record is approved.
  • That grill approval authorizes this synthesis and one bounded local persistence step; do not ask for a second product-level approval.
  • Relevant local specs, ADRs, docs, fixtures, and code context have been checked.
  • If there is no completed grill agreement, stop and run grill-change first.

Synthesis Rules

  1. Do not re-interview the user except on a derivation exception - a contradiction, a missing material decision, or scope expansion (see Derivation Exceptions).
  2. Keep product intent, non-goals, durable terms, and hard-to-reverse decisions above implementation mechanics.
  3. Preserve existing spec contracts and safety rules unless the user explicitly approved changing them.
  4. Split work into vertical behavior slices, not file layers.
  5. Make every issue small enough for a focused RED, GREEN, refactor loop.
  6. Mark dependencies and parallel-safe work explicitly.
  7. Propose architecture rescue candidates before feature slices when a change would deepen an already fragmented codebase.

Architecture Rescue Candidates

When architecture rescue is needed, propose candidates before feature issues. Each candidate must include:

  • Files or modules involved
  • Current friction
  • Proposed deeper module or clearer interface
  • Expected locality and leverage improvement
  • Expected test improvement
  • ADR or spec conflicts
  • Recommended dependency state: prerequisite, parallel, or later cleanup

Spec Candidate

Include these sections:

  • Status
  • Problem
  • Goal
  • Intent
  • Decision Rules
  • Non-Goals
  • User Flow
  • Inputs
  • Outputs
  • Contracts
  • Security Rules
  • Acceptance Criteria
  • Tests
  • TDD Strategy
  • Issue Plan
  • Documentation Updates
  • Final Review Checklist

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.

request-to-spec-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository jsuvic/agent-profile (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,334 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
