roster-spec-infer

roster-spec-infer is a skill for Claude Code from mathiasbourgoin/roster. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,972 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only analysis tool that reconstructs what an existing codebase actually does into an inferred specification. It labels claims by evidence strength and records requirements, scenarios, and conflicts with documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a project directory, mine tests and source files, review Git history, create an inferred specification, and flag documentation drift.
Why use it?
It helps reveal undocumented behavior and differences between the code, tests, documentation, and version history without changing the project.

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

roster-spec-infer 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 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.

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.

Roster Spec-Infer

Reverse-engineer an evidence-tiered spec from an existing codebase. This is a read-only analysis skill — it never modifies the target project. Every claim is labeled by evidence strength: [E1] (test-proven), [E2] (code-inferred), [E3] (doc-only). Conflicts between code and documentation are surfaced, never silently resolved.

Input Contract

Required: <target> — a project root directory path (e.g. . or /path/to/project).

  • If a file path is given: halt with "Target must be a directory (project root). Got: <path>."
  • Slug derivation: lowercase the target directory's basename, replace spaces with -, strip all non-alphanumeric/hyphen characters. Example: My Project!my-project.
  • Collision check: if specs/<slug>-inferred.md already exists, halt with: "Inferred spec already exists for <slug>. Overwrite? [y/N]" — stop if not confirmed.

Tunables:

Tunable Default Effect
include_git_history true Run Sub-agent 4 (Git History Miner)
conflict_policy surface Only valid value in v1.0.0: always surface conflicts, never auto-resolve. Reserved for future extension.
gap_threshold 0 Register every uncovered public symbol as a GAP

Steps

Sub-agent 1: Test Miner

Spawn a sub-agent (fresh context) with this prompt:

You are a Test Miner. Analyze the test suite of the target project and extract
behavioral assertions as evidence-tier-1 (E1) claims in Given/When/Then format.

Step 1 — Detect test framework (in this priority order):
- package.json `scripts.test` field
- pytest.ini / setup.cfg / pyproject.toml [tool.pytest]
- go.mod (go test ./...)
- pom.xml / build.gradle (mvn test / gradle test)
If no framework detected: emit "No test suite detected — all surfaces are E2/E3 or GAP."
and produce zero E1 claims. Stop.

Step 2 — Run the canonical test command. If exit code is non-zero: halt with:
"Test suite failed — E1 claims cannot be emitted. Fix test failures before
running roster-spec-infer."

Step 3 — Parse passing test files. For each behavioral assertion, produce one
E1 entry in Given/When/Then format:
  - [E1] Given <setup/precondition>, When <action or call>, Then <assertion/outcome>
    (evidence: <test-file>:<line>)

Use the actual test setup code as "Given", the call under test as "When", and
the assertion as "Then". If a test has multiple assertions, emit one E1 entry
per distinct behavioral claim, not per assertion line.

Cap at top-50 most-covered files if context limits are reached; note:
"Analysis limited to top N files due to context constraints."

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.
