feature-spec

feature-spec is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from natnew/awesome-ai-scientists. It costs 82 tokens per session (532 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided workflow for starting a software feature from a project roadmap. It finds the next unfinished phase, asks about the feature, and writes planning documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing requirements, implementation plans, and validation notes for the next roadmap feature.
Why use it?
It helps clarify scope and decisions before implementation, while keeping the work organized in a dated specification folder and Git branch.

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

feature-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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Feature Spec

Workflow

1. Find the next phase

Read specs/roadmap.md. The next phase is the first section whose items are all [ ]. Note its name to derive the branch and directory name.

2. Create the branch

git checkout -b phase-N-<kebab-name>

3. Interview the user — BEFORE writing any files

Use AskUserQuestion with exactly 3 questions in one call:

Header Question focus
Scope What the feature collects, exposes, or does — fields, behaviour, data shape
Decisions Key implementation choices — storage, visibility, validation, UX pattern
Context Tone, constraints, or anything shaping the spec — copy style, stack limits, open questions

Do not write any files until the user has answered all three questions.

4. Read guidance files

Read specs/mission.md and specs/tech-stack.md before drafting.

5. Create the spec directory

Name: specs/YYYY-MM-DD-<feature-name>/ using today's date.

requirements.md
  • Scope section: what is and is not included; field/data table if applicable
  • Decisions section: choices made and why (draw from user answers)
  • Context section: tone rules, stack pointers, existing patterns to follow
plan.md
  • Numbered task groups appropriate to the feature (for example: Data → Components → Page & Route → Navigation → Tests)
  • Each group has numbered sub-tasks; groups should be independently implementable
validation.md
  • Automated: project test and typecheck commands pass; specific assertions required
  • Manual: walkthrough, behaviour, edge cases
  • Tone check if the feature has user-facing copy
  • Definition of done

Constraints

  • Respect the existing tech stack defined in specs/tech-stack.md — no new dependencies without user approval
  • Follow existing conventions and patterns already established in the codebase
  • Keep feature scope focused and independently shippable
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.
