multi-agent-collaboration-system: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/update-spec/SKILL.md

update-spec is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lxyer/multi-agent-collaboration-system. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,361 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of trellis-update-spec, MIT.

A guide for recording implementation knowledge as code-spec documents after a feature, bug fix, or design decision. These documents describe concrete interfaces, inputs, outputs, validation rules, errors, and required tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update specifications with API or command signatures, request fields, environment keys, validation cases, error behavior, test points, and wrong-versus-correct examples.
Why use it?
It keeps important behavior written down where future developers can use and test it. This is especially useful for infrastructure or changes that connect several parts of an application.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); $skill-name invocation.

This is lxyer/multi-agent-collaboration-system's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on multi-agent-collaboration-system itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

update-spec 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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to trellis-update-spec — 69 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Update Code-Spec - Capture Executable Contracts

When you learn something valuable (from debugging, implementing, or discussion), use this skill to update the relevant code-spec documents.

Timing: After completing a task, fixing a bug, or discovering a new pattern


Code-Spec First Rule (CRITICAL)

In this project, "spec" for implementation work means code-spec:

  • Executable contracts (not principle-only text)
  • Concrete signatures, payload fields, env keys, and boundary behavior
  • Testable validation/error behavior

If the change touches infra or cross-layer contracts, code-spec depth is mandatory.

Required sections for infra/cross-layer specs:

  1. Scope / Trigger
  2. Signatures (command/API/DB)
  3. Contracts (request/response/env)
  4. Validation & Error Matrix
  5. Good/Base/Bad Cases
  6. Tests Required (with assertion points)
  7. Wrong vs Correct (at least one pair)

When to Update Code-Specs

Trigger Example Target Spec
Implemented a feature Added template download with giget Relevant backend/ or frontend/ file
Made a design decision Used type field + mapping table for extensibility Relevant code-spec + "Design Decisions" section
Fixed a bug Found a subtle issue with error handling backend/error-handling.md
Discovered a pattern Found a better way to structure code Relevant backend/ or frontend/ file
Hit a gotcha Learned that X must be done before Y Relevant code-spec + "Common Mistakes" section
Established a convention Team agreed on naming pattern quality-guidelines.md
New thinking trigger "Don't forget to check X before doing Y" guides/*.md (as a checklist item, not detailed rules)

Key Insight: Code-spec updates are NOT just for problems. Every feature implementation contains design decisions and contracts that future AI/developers need to execute safely.

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.
