speckit-specify

speckit-specify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from raccioly/docguard. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,620 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A feature-specification workflow that turns a natural-language feature request into a written specification with user stories, requirements, and acceptance criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a feature, refine an existing request, and create or update spec.md.
Why use it?
It replaces informal or incomplete requirements with a shared description of what the feature must do.

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

speckit-specify 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 5d 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.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Outline

The text the user typed after /speckit.specify in the triggering message is the feature description. Assume you always have it available in this conversation even if $ARGUMENTS appears literally below. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.

Given that feature description, do this:

  1. Generate a concise short name (2-4 words) for the branch:

    • Analyze the feature description and extract the most meaningful keywords
    • Create a 2-4 word short name that captures the essence of the feature
    • Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., "add-user-auth", "fix-payment-bug")
    • Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
    • Keep it concise but descriptive enough to understand the feature at a glance
    • Examples:
      • "I want to add user authentication" → "user-auth"
      • "Implement OAuth2 integration for the API" → "oauth2-api-integration"
      • "Create a dashboard for analytics" → "analytics-dashboard"
      • "Fix payment processing timeout bug" → "fix-payment-timeout"
  2. Create the feature branch by running the script with --short-name (and --json), and do NOT pass --number (the script auto-detects the next globally available number across all branches and spec directories):

    • Bash example: .specify/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh "$ARGUMENTS" --json --short-name "user-auth" "Add user authentication"
    • PowerShell example: .specify/scripts/bash/create-new-feature.sh "$ARGUMENTS" -Json -ShortName "user-auth" "Add user authentication"

    IMPORTANT:

    • Do NOT pass --number — the script determines the correct next number automatically
    • Always include the JSON flag (--json for Bash, -Json for PowerShell) so the output can be parsed reliably
    • You must only ever run this script once per feature
    • The JSON is provided in the terminal as output - always refer to it to get the actual content you're looking for
    • The JSON output will contain BRANCH_NAME and SPEC_FILE paths
    • For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot")

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.
