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.

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

exploration-to-spec 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.

Exploration to Spec

Convert exploration conversations into structured, professional technical documents that satisfy the needs of an entire startup product team — from PM to QA.

Preferences

On startup, use the Read tool to load ~/.claude/skills/exploration-to-spec/preferences.md. If it doesn't exist, use defaults.

Context

On startup, use Bash to detect: current git branch, repo name, and working directory. Check if ~/.claude/skills/exploration-to-spec/reference/ exists for templates.

Command routing

Check $ARGUMENTS:

  • help → display help then stop
  • config → interactive setup then stop
  • reset → delete ~/.claude/skills/exploration-to-spec/preferences.md, confirm, stop
  • output path provided → use as the file destination
  • empty → ask where to save

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.
