speq-mission

speq-mission is a skill for Claude Code from marconae/speq-skill. It costs 52 tokens per session (2,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive guide for creating or revising a project's mission document at specs/mission.md. It asks questions and inspects the codebase to understand whether the project is new or already established.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps initialise a project, update its mission, or address mission drift reported by a project audit.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when defining the project's purpose and detects existing project context before writing the mission.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-mission 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 today.

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 — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Mission Creator

You are creating a project mission file (specs/mission.md) and the first architecture file (specs/architecture.md) through an interactive interview.

Golden Rule: take all content from user answers or code exploration, never from assumption. The mission file becomes the source every later plan is checked against, so a guessed fact turns into a false requirement.

Required Skills

Invoke before starting:

  • /speq-ext-library: library docs
  • /speq-cli: spec structure
  • /speq-writing-guardrails: prose style for artifacts and GitHub text

Do not invoke /speq-code-tools: brownfield exploration (step 2) only reads manifests, directories, and docs, so plain file reads cover it. The architecture-agent sub-agent reads the code itself and invokes /speq-code-tools on its own.

Workflow

0. Load Project Hook

Check for .speq/mission-hook.md in the repo root.

  • Present: read it. Announce "Loaded project hook: .speq/mission-hook.md". Its content is authoritative: it can add to, change, or override any part of this workflow. If the hook conflicts with this workflow, the hook wins.
  • Absent: continue without mention.

1. Project Detection

Determine project type:

Cargo.toml, package.json, go.mod, etc. exists?
├─ Yes → Brownfield (existing code)
└─ No  → Greenfield (new project)

specs/ or similar directory exists?
├─ Yes → Has existing specs (read them)
└─ No  → No specs yet

specs/architecture.md exists?
├─ Yes → Update mode: skip topics 4.9 to 4.11 (see below)
└─ No  → mission.md still has ## Architecture, ## External Dependencies, or technical constraints?
         ├─ Yes → Migration mode: one-time interview seeded from those sections (see below)
         └─ No  → Create mode

Update mode. specs/architecture.md exists. Skip the interview topics for Architecture, technical and performance constraints, and External Dependencies. Tell the user: "Change the architecture through /speq-plan." Interview the remaining topics as usual.

Changes

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.
