vibe-spec-sync

vibe-spec-sync is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mracal/vibe-engineering. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,613 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of vibe-spec-sync, MIT.

A tool for keeping a project's specification documents, tests, and code in agreement. It checks whether recent code changes have made the written requirements outdated and can update the specification after approved decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before commits, after recording decisions, or during periodic checks to compare specifications with implementation code and related tests. It requires an existing Markdown specification and the code it describes.
Why use it?
It prevents the written plan from drifting away from how the software actually works. This reduces confusion about which behavior is current before committing changes.

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

vibe-spec-sync 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 4d 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 — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

vibe-spec-sync

Code changes. Specs don't update themselves. This skill closes the loop.

When to Use This Skill

  • Before committing — detect spec drift from staged changes
  • After approving decisions (from vibe-decision-journal) — sync them back to spec
  • When vibe-spec-vs-code-audit found gaps — fix them
  • Periodically — ensure spec still reflects reality

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • No spec exists (write one first, or use vibe-doc-quality-gate to bootstrap)
  • Prototype/spike code with no spec commitment
  • Spec is explicitly labeled as aspirational/future-state

Prerequisites

The project must have:

  • A specification document (markdown) — configured in step 1
  • Implementation code that the spec describes
  • Optionally: a test suite with requirement traceability markers (# req:[ID])

Steps

Step 1: Locate Spec and Code

  1. Find the spec — Look for:

    • spec.md, SPEC.md, *_spec.md in project root or docs/
    • Design docs in docs/design/, docs/architecture/
    • Ask user if ambiguous: "Which document is the authoritative spec?"
  2. Find the implementation — The code files the spec describes

  3. Find the decision logdocs/decisions/decisions.jsonl (from vibe-decision-journal)

Step 2: Extract Drift from Staged Changes

Run git diff --cached and analyze what changed relative to the spec:

  1. Categorize each change:

    • Spec-aligned: Change matches what the spec says → no action
    • Spec-extending: Change adds behavior the spec doesn't mention → spec needs new section
    • Spec-modifying: Change alters behavior the spec describes differently → spec needs update
    • Spec-contradicting: Change violates what the spec explicitly forbids → flag for review
  2. For each drift item, produce:

    DRIFT-[NNN]:
      Type: extending | modifying | contradicting
      Spec section: "## [Header]"
      Current spec says: "[quoted text]"
      Code now does: "[description of new behavior]"
      Suggested spec update: "[proposed new text]"

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.
