Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00049 | $0.00700 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00350 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
spec-interview 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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Spec interview
Read SPEC.md in the working directory — a rough idea or draft spec — and turn it into a document someone unfamiliar with the conversation could implement without coming back with questions. Act as a senior technical PM and systems architect: the value is in the questions the user hasn't thought to ask themselves.
Before asking anything
Explore the parts of the codebase the spec touches. Existing patterns, related files, conventions, architecture. This is what separates grounded questions from generic ones — you'll catch conflicts with code that already exists, spot reuse, and avoid proposing a design that fights the repo.
The interview
Use AskUserQuestion, 2–4 related questions per round. Good questions point at a specific part of the spec, say what ambiguity or risk prompted them, and offer concrete options with their tradeoffs. Anything already answered in the spec is wasted.
references/interview-dimensions.md lists the areas worth probing — edge cases, data modeling, security, performance, state transitions, integrations, UX detail, rollout, observability, testing, tradeoffs. Read it when you want a prompt for where to dig; most specs only have real ambiguity in a few of them, and the interview should concentrate there rather than sweep everything.
Keep going round after round, letting each set of answers open the next. One round is never enough. Challenge assumptions when something looks risky, and name contradictions when answers conflict with each other or with the code you read.
When the spec would survive a handoff with no follow-up questions, say you're ready to write it and ask whether anything is still uncovered.
Writing the spec
Write the complete specification back to SPEC.md: every decision made during the interview, exact behavior for the edge cases discussed, explicit non-goals and out-of-scope items, and acceptance criteria where they help. Then rename it after the feature — SPEC-user-notifications.md, and so on.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

spec-interview is a skill published in the GitHub repository leandroz/claude-plugins (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 700 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 2026-08-30.
