technical-spec-template

technical-spec-template is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. It costs 90 tokens per session (1,761 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical-specification template for connecting product requirements to an engineering implementation. It documents the problem, requirements, architecture decisions, constraints, and trade-offs for a feature, system, or API.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for changes spanning multiple systems, significant architecture decisions, shared engineering work, or features with security, privacy, or compliance concerns.
Why use it?
Complex changes can fail when different engineers assume different requirements or when important trade-offs remain undocumented. This creates a shared design reference before implementation begins.

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

technical-spec-template 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 2d 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.

Skill de Plantilla de Especificación Técnica

Escribe especificaciones técnicas que los ingenieros realmente lean — framing claro del problema, requisitos inequívocos, decisiones explícitas y compensaciones documentadas.

Entradas Requeridas

Pregunta al usuario por estos datos si no se proporcionan:

  • Descripción de funcionalidad o sistema (qué necesita especificarse)
  • PRD o brief de producto relacionado (si está disponible)
  • Revisores de ingeniería (cuya aprobación es necesaria)
  • Restricciones conocidas (limitaciones técnicas, requisitos de seguridad, objetivos de rendimiento)

Cuándo Escribir una Especificación Técnica

Escribe una especificación técnica cuando:

  • La funcionalidad requiere cambios en 2+ sistemas
  • Hay decisiones arquitectónicas significativas que tomar
  • Más de un ingeniero trabajará en la implementación
  • La funcionalidad tiene implicaciones de seguridad, privacidad o cumplimiento
  • El esfuerzo estimado es >5 story points

Sáltate la especificación para correcciones de bugs triviales o cambios de 1-2 horas.

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.
