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

show-spec-working scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

show-spec-working Skill

Demonstrate a spec in a runnable way.

If the user does not provide explicit context, use the spec/change currently being worked on in this session.

Always end by reporting completion in chat.

Trigger phrases (high priority)

Treat these expressions as execution commands, not analysis requests:

  • show me X
  • demo X
  • walk me through X
  • show X working
  • how X works
  • prove X works

When any of these appear, run the demonstration workflow directly. Do not stop at a feature summary or quick report.

Inputs

  • Optional spec context from user:
    • Direct ticket id in text (for example: SCRUM-10)
    • Feature name
    • Endpoint
    • Frontend route
  • If missing, infer from current session context and currently active work.

Workflow

Step 1 - Resolve target spec and scope

  1. Identify the target spec/change:
    • Prefer explicit user-provided context.
    • If user text contains a ticket id pattern like [A-Z]+-[0-9]+, use it as primary context (example: show me SCRUM-10).
    • Otherwise, infer the spec currently being worked on.
  2. Determine modality:
    • frontend when the spec includes UI behavior.
    • backend-only when it only defines API behavior.
    • mixed when both exist.
  3. List concrete scenarios to demo from the spec acceptance criteria.

Step 1.1 - Anti-report guardrail

Before continuing, enforce this rule:

  • Never finish after only analyzing requirements.
  • Never return only a quick report when the user asked to "show" or "demo".
  • If execution is blocked, explicitly report the blocker and ask for exactly what is needed to continue the live demo.

Step 2 - Frontend demonstration path

Run this path when modality is frontend or mixed.

  1. Start required local services if needed.
  2. Use browser automation to open the app and navigate to the target feature.
  3. Demonstrate feature behavior from the spec, one interaction at a time.
    • Example sequence for list/table features:
      • Open listing page
      • Verify table data appears
      • Use search box
      • Apply filters
      • Change sorting
      • Open details view
  4. After each meaningful action:
    • Verify visible result matches spec expectations.
  5. Stop on a stable end state and let the user continue manual exploration or close the window.
  6. Keep the browser open unless the user asks to close it.

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.
