speq-cli

speq-cli is a skill for Claude Code from marconae/speq-skill. It costs 0 tokens per session (664 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using the speq command-line tool to search and validate software specifications. A specification describes expected behavior, often as named features and scenarios.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to search specification content, list domains or features, read a specific scenario, and validate one feature or the whole specification set.
Why use it?
They narrow searches before opening files and provide consistent commands for finding, reading, listing, and checking specifications.

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

speq-cli 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 6d 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 — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

speq CLI

The CLI is installed locally and on the path. Invoke via speq.

Reading Specs

  • Find a spec by listing the features with speq feature list, then read the relevant ones with speq feature get.
  • Read a feature with speq feature get <domain>/<feature>. It prints the description, the Background, and the scenarios.
  • Read the spec file directly only when exact text matters, and only the lines you need (Read with offset and limit). speq feature get does not print nested list items under a step or fenced code blocks inside a scenario.
  • Find before you read: speq feature get '<domain>/<feature>/<scenario>' for one scenario. Never cat a whole spec.

Command Reference

Command Purpose
speq domain list List all domains
speq feature list Tree view of all features
speq feature list <domain> Features in a domain
speq feature get <domain>/<feature> Full feature spec
speq feature get '<domain>/<feature>/<scenario>' Single scenario
speq decision-log show Show every accepted ADR (large in a mature repo; prefer the ADR digest below)
speq decision-log validate Validate the ADR fragments
speq feature validate Validate all specs
speq feature validate <domain>/<feature> Validate single feature
speq plan list List active plans
speq plan validate <plan> Validate a plan
speq record <plan> Merge a validated plan into the permanent specs

Single-quote a scenario path. In double quotes, the shell runs the text between backticks as a command.

Absence Check

Before you state that no spec or decision covers a topic, run all three steps:

  1. List the features with speq feature list. Note each feature whose name relates to the topic or a synonym of it.
  2. Read those candidate features or their scenarios with speq feature get.
  3. Check the ADR digest (next section). Read only the fragments that match the topic.

Report absence only when all three steps find nothing. Name the features, scenarios, and ADRs you checked in the claim.

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.
