Spec Kitty is an open-source command-line tool that turns product requirements into a repository-based workflow for AI-assisted software development. It stores specifications, plans, tasks, acceptance criteria, reviews, and merge decisions in Git while giving agents isolated git worktrees for parallel implementation. The catalogue add-ons support the project's workflows for coordinating agents and governing their work.
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.

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 | $0.00032 | $0.00286 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00143 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00057 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
spk-start-first-feature 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.
What it actually says
spk-start-first-feature
Use this skill when a user wants to start their first Spec Kitty mission or feature and needs the end-to-end path.
Workflow
- Verify install and agent surface with
spk-admin-setup-doctorif commands or skills are missing. - Create or select the mission with
/spec-kitty.specify. - Build the plan with
/spec-kitty.plan. - Produce work packages with
/spec-kitty.tasksor the outline/packages/finalize split when the project uses staged task authoring. - Advance work with
spk-run-next. - Drive implementation/review loops with
spk-run-implement-review. - Close with
spk-gate-accept, thenspk-gate-merge. - Finish post-merge checks with
spk-gate-mission-reviewandspk-gate-retrospective.
Guardrails
- Keep the user on one mission until a blocker requires a different route.
- Treat generated runtime prompt files as authoritative for the current action.
- Do not skip review, accept, or merge gates just because implementation appears complete.
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.

spk-start-first-feature is a skill published in the GitHub repository Priivacy-ai/spec-kitty (1,603 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 286 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
