speckit-install is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from racecraft-lab/racecraft-plugins-public. It costs 188 tokens per session (2,294 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An installation workflow for the SpecKit command-line tool and its setup in a repository. SpecKit is a tool for organizing software work around written specifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install SpecKit when needed and initialize one or both coding-agent integrations in the current project.
Why use it?
It avoids manually installing the tool and configuring the repository for Claude Code or Codex CLI.

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-install 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 today.

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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SpecKit Install

Scope

Install the official SpecKit CLI (https://github.com/github/spec-kit) if missing, then initialize the current repository for one or both coding-agent integrations (Claude Code, Codex CLI). Safe to run on any repo — detects an existing .specify/ directory and hands off to $speckit-upgrade rather than mutating it.

This skill is mutation-heavy (it writes files to the repo and to ~/.local/share/uv/tools/specify-cli/ if installing the CLI). It runs only on explicit operator request and never auto-fires from other skills.

Scope Boundaries — Not For

  • Upgrading an existing SpecKit install. That is $speckit-upgrade. This skill hands off to it automatically when .specify/ is present.
  • Scaffolding a new spec from the technical roadmap. That is $speckit-scaffold-spec.
  • Installing this plugin's own bundled Codex subagent TOML files (autopilot-fast-helper.toml, phase-executor.toml, etc.) into ~/.codex/agents/. That is $install.
  • Methodology coaching. That is $speckit-coach.

Input

Accept optional integration keys as arguments:

  • $speckit-install (interactive — asks which integrations)
  • $speckit-install claude
  • $speckit-install codex
  • $speckit-install claude codex (dual-integration)

If the operator does not specify, ask before proceeding.

Hard Constraints

  • Never run specify init --here --force from this skill. --force overwrites local customizations. Force-flagged behavior lives exclusively in $speckit-upgrade (where it is wrapped with backup/restore).
  • Never mutate .specify/memory/constitution.md. The placeholder written by specify init is the operator's content from that moment on.
  • Never partially-install. If any specify invocation fails, STOP and report the exact error.
  • Never proceed to mutation without explicit confirmation of the integration choice when there is ambiguity.
  • Never touch .claude-plugin/, commands/, or this plugin's marketplace files. Those are this plugin's own files, not the consumer repo's.

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.
