Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00180 | $0.01616 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00090 | $0.00808 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00323 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00162 |
Grade A, and why
octospec-init 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
octospec-init (onboarding)
This skill is the one-time接入引导 for the octospec engineering standard.
Run it when a repo does NOT yet carry .octospec/ and you want to add it. There
is no onboarding CLI subcommand or flag to invoke — onboarding is simply the
handful of real shell steps below, run by hand.
Relationship: init = one-time onboarding (this skill). Once
.octospec/exists and syncs cleanly, day-to-day work hands off to the octospec-workflow skill (the runtime 4-phase flow: Plan, Implement, Verify, Finish). The two do not overlap — init wires the repo up, workflow drives changes afterward.
When to run this
Run it when:
- the repo has no
.octospec/directory yet, and - you want this repo to follow the octo-spec shared standard.
Do NOT run it if .octospec/ already exists and octospec-sync.sh succeeds —
that repo is already onboarded; switch to the octospec-workflow skill.
Steps
1. Copy the template skeleton
Copy templates/octospec-init from an octo-spec checkout into .octospec/ at
the root of the target repo. This carries the rules index, task/journal
scaffolding, the .claude/ commands + skills, and its own scripts/ (so the
synced repo holds the sync tooling itself).
cp -r <path-to>/octo-spec/templates/octospec-init .octospec
2. Pin the global version and fill in metadata
Edit .octospec/manifest.yaml:
- Pin the global ("constitution") version you inherit:
inherits: octo-spec@<semver>— use the exact version of the octo-spec checkout you are syncing from. Read it from that checkout'sVERSIONfile (cat <path-to>/octo-spec/VERSION) rather than hardcoding a number here, so this instruction never drifts when octo-spec bumps its version. For example, ifVERSIONsays1.2.0, setinherits: [email protected]. The pin must match theGLOBAL_SRCcheckout'sVERSIONexactly oroctospec-sync.shfails the version assertion. The template manifest already ships pinned to this checkout's version, so when you sync from the same checkout no edit is needed. - Set
tier(defaultrepo— the global layer lives in octo-spec itself). - Set
ownerto the team or person responsible for this repo's.octospec/.
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.

octospec-init is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mininglamp-OSS/octo-spec (19 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 180 tokens to every session and 1,616 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
