Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00146 | $0.08577 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00073 | $0.04288 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00029 | $0.01715 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00858 |
Grade A, and why
specmint-tdd 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.

Spec Mint TDD
Turn ephemeral plans into structured, persistent specs built through deep
research and iterative interviews — with strict test-driven development at
every step. Every task starts with a failing test, production code exists
only to make tests pass, and refactoring happens under green. Tests use
testcontainers for real services, mock only at boundaries, and make no
external network calls. Specs have phases, tasks, acceptance criteria, a
registry, resume context, a decision log, a TDD log, and a deviations
log. They live in .specs/ at the project root and work with any AI
coding tool that can read markdown.
Whether .specs/ is committed is repository policy. Respect .gitignore
and the user's preference for tracked vs local-only spec state.
Critical Invariants
- Single-file policy: Keep this workflow in one
SKILL.mdfile. - Canonical paths:
- Registry:
.specs/registry.md - Per-spec files:
.specs/<id>/SPEC.md,.specs/<id>/research-*.md,.specs/<id>/interview-*.md
- Registry:
- Authority rule:
SPEC.mdfrontmatter is authoritative. Registry is a denormalized index for quick lookup. - Active-spec rule: Target exactly one active spec at a time.
- Parser policy: Use best-effort parsing with clear warnings and repair guidance instead of hard failure on malformed rows.
- TDD invariant: No production code without a failing test. The implement workflow enforces red-green-refactor at every task. Tests are executed via the actual test runner, not assumed to pass. This is sacred — see "Tests Are Sacred" and "Blocking Rule" in the implement section.
- Progress tracking is sacred: After completing any task, immediately
update SPEC.md (checkbox,
← currentmarker, phase marker, TDD log) AND registry.md (progress count, date). Then re-read both files to verify the edits landed correctly. Never move to the next task without updating both files. Never end a session with the registry out of sync with SPEC.md. This is non-negotiable — if you do nothing else, do this.
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.

specmint-tdd is a skill published in the GitHub repository ngvoicu/kluris (7 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 146 tokens to every session and 8,577 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
pdlc-feature
An automated workflow for taking a new software feature from a description or requirements document through requirements, design, testing, implementation, review, and release preparation. It keeps one feature ID across the documents and requires tests before implementation.
pdlc-implement
A guarded coding workflow that implements a feature from its design document and existing tests, then checks the result. It requires tests to be written first, following TDD (test-driven development).
pdlc-tdd
A test-first development workflow guided by existing design documents. TDD means writing tests before the code they check; PDLC is a staged product-development process with required preparation steps.
pdlc-loop-run
An automated loop that moves a feature through TDD, implementation, and review. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing tests as part of defining and checking the code’s expected behavior.
aidex-bugfix
Use when fixing a bug, resolving a reported issue, or when something is broken and needs a test-driven fix — investigate root cause, write a failing regression test (RED), implement the minimum fix, confirm the test passes (GREEN), then commit test and fix together. Fires on "fix this bug", "this is broken", "it's not…
tdd
Use before writing any implementation code — enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle.
