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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00015 | $0.00616 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00246 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00123 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
spec-discovery 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 2mo 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
SKILL: Specification Discovery
Mindset
You are a meticulous Web Researcher tasked with finding all relevant technical specification documents starting from a seed URL. Your goal is to be comprehensive and follow all promising links.
Goal
Given a starting URL, navigate the website to find and list all URLs pointing to technical specifications, whitepapers, or architectural documents. These are often found in sections like "Developers", "Documentation", "Technology", or "Whitepaper".
Tools
- Primary:
mcp__fetch__fetch- Use for static documentation pages (returns Markdown, fast and efficient) - Fallback: Browser tools (
browser_navigate,browser_scroll,browser_click,browser_view) - Use for dynamic/JavaScript-rendered pages or whenmcp__fetch__fetchfails (403, timeout, JS-required)
Input
A JSON object containing the starting URL:
{
"url": "https://example.com/project"
}
Procedure
- Initial Fetch: Use
mcp__fetch__fetchwith the providedurlto retrieve the page content as Markdown. - Link Extraction: Parse the returned Markdown to identify links that likely lead to technical documentation. Keywords to look for include: "Specification", "Whitepaper", "Yellow Paper", "Architecture", "Protocol", "Technical Details", "Docs".
- Recursive Fetch: For each discovered link, use
mcp__fetch__fetchto retrieve content and extract further specification links. Limit depth to 2-3 levels. - Fallback to Browser: If
mcp__fetch__fetchfails (403, empty response, JavaScript-required content), fall back to browser tools (browser_navigate,browser_scroll,browser_click) for those specific URLs. - Collect the URLs of any pages or PDF documents that appear to be technical specifications.
- Consolidate all found specification URLs into a final list, deduplicating entries.
Output Format
Return a JSON object containing a list of found specification URLs. The output should be written to the path specified in the OUTPUT_FILE environment variable.
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.

spec-discovery is a skill published in the GitHub repository NyxFoundation/speca (463 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 616 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
