spec-finish

spec-finish is a skill for Claude Code from martinffx/atelier. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,027 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A completion workflow for a software change that has already been implemented from a structured plan. It simplifies the result, updates needed documentation, validates the work, reviews it, and prepares a pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare implementation with the approved scope, update documentation, run validation, conduct review, create commits, and open a pull request.
Why use it?
It provides final checks before handing code to others and helps remove work that was outside the original request. It also verifies prerequisites such as completed tasks, a clean working directory, and passing tests.

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

spec-finish 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 5d 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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spec Finish

Post-implementation workflow: simplify → synchronize docs → validate → review → prepare PR.

Prerequisites

Before starting, verify:

  1. All Spec-backed Plan tasks are complete
  2. Working directory has no unresolved staged or unstaged changes
  3. Tests pass

If not complete, go back to spec-implement.


Step 1: Compare Scope and Simplify

Compare the implementation with the original behavior and user goal before documentation or validation. Remove unrequested scope, duplicate concepts, one-consumer abstractions, and custom machinery that replaces sufficient platform behavior.

If the implementation faithfully follows an unnecessarily large design, stop and return to spec-plan. Get approval for the smaller plan before continuing.

Update the finished SDD to describe the smaller result. Replace rejected architecture in the normative design and plan instead of preserving it as precedent; mention it only as a rejected alternative when that history remains useful.


Step 2: Update Documentation

Check whether README, API documentation, or changelog updates are needed. Make and commit any necessary documentation changes through code-commit before final validation.


Step 3: Validate

Run validation checks.

Test Suite

npm test
# or
pytest
# or
cargo test

Type Check

npm run typecheck
# or
python -m mypy
# or
cargo check

Lint

npm run lint
# or
ruff check .
# or
cargo clippy

Build

npm run build
# or
go build ./...

If any fail: Return to spec-implement to fix.

If all pass: Proceed.


Step 4: Review

Invoke the installed code-review skill through the harness's skill mechanism for one comprehensive review of the final change.

What to Review

  • All changed files since the intended base branch's merge base
  • Test coverage
  • Documentation updates
  • No debug code left

If code-review finds issues

  • Minor fixes may be made here, then re-validated and reviewed.
  • Findings with blocking: true or requires_user_approval, and scope-changing fixes, return to spec-implement. Non-blocking findings and follow-ups do not.

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.
