spec-driven-development

spec-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from peterblazejewicz/claude-plugins. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,829 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for writing and reviewing a clear specification before coding a .NET or C# project. .NET is Microsoft's software platform, and C# is its main programming language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for new .NET solutions, larger features, architectural decisions, or changes involving several projects.
Why use it?
It turns vague or incomplete requirements into an agreed description of what to build and how to tell when it is finished.

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

spec-driven-development 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.

Spec-Driven Development

Overview

Write a structured specification before writing any code. The spec is the shared source of truth between you and the human engineer — it defines what we're building, why, and how we'll know it's done. Code without a spec is guessing.

When to Use

  • Starting a new .NET solution or feature
  • Requirements are ambiguous or incomplete
  • The change touches multiple projects or assemblies in the solution
  • You're about to make an architectural decision (hosting model, persistence layer, UI framework)
  • The task would take more than 30 minutes to implement

When NOT to use: Single-line fixes, typo corrections, or changes where requirements are unambiguous and self-contained.

The Gated Workflow

Spec-driven development has four phases. Do not advance to the next phase until the current one is validated.

SPECIFY ──→ PLAN ──→ TASKS ──→ IMPLEMENT
   │          │        │          │
   ▼          ▼        ▼          ▼
 Human      Human    Human      Human
 reviews    reviews  reviews    reviews

Phase 1: Specify

Start with a high-level vision. Ask the human clarifying questions until requirements are concrete.

Surface assumptions immediately. Before writing any spec content, list what you're assuming:

ASSUMPTIONS I'M MAKING:
1. This is an Avalonia 11 desktop app (not MAUI or WPF)
2. Target framework is .NET 8 (LTS), C# 12 language features
3. Persistence is EF Core 8 against SQLite for dev, PostgreSQL for prod
4. Testing with xUnit v3 + native `Xunit.Assert` (MSTest with its native `Assert` is acceptable per team standard)
5. MVVM via CommunityToolkit.Mvvm source generators
→ Correct me now or I'll proceed with these.

Don't silently fill in ambiguous requirements. The spec's entire purpose is to surface misunderstandings before code gets written — assumptions are the most dangerous form of misunderstanding.

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-driven-development is a skill published in the GitHub repository peterblazejewicz/claude-plugins (7 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 2,829 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
