speckit-scaffold-spec

speckit-scaffold-spec is a skill for Codex from racecraft-lab/racecraft-plugins-public. It costs 244 tokens per session (11,446 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for preparing a specification ID from a technical roadmap for autonomous development. It creates or reuses a worktree branch and generates the files needed for the workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a specific work item, create its branch, generate its workflow file, and leave the repository ready for the autopilot executor.
Why use it?
It turns a roadmap entry into a ready-to-run workspace, reducing the setup work before an agent starts implementing it.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Memory Poisoning · line 3
    Skill attempts to fill the context window with filler content, displacing legitimate instructions and safety constraints. This can degrade agent performance or bypass safety boundaries.
    Fix: Implement context-window management that detects and rejects padding or stuffing attempts. Prioritize system instructions over user-injected content.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 3
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 506
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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-scaffold-spec 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 yesterday.

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.

SpecKit Scaffold Spec

Installed Runtime Contract

Installed Claude and Codex surfaces resolve Python 3.11 or newer, invoke [resolved_python, "-m", "speckit_pro_runner"], send one JSON request on stdin, read one JSON response from stdout, and surface stderr diagnostics. Do not add a shell fallback, jq parsing path, Git Bash, WSL, or PowerShell-specific command-language requirement for installed workflows.

Capability discovery & grounding

Before researching or recommending, enumerate the tools and skills your session actually exposes — do not assume a fixed set; the user may have installed anything — and select the best fit per speckit-pro/skills/speckit-autopilot/references/capability-discovery.md. Ground every external fact you assert in a real tool, skill, or file result per speckit-pro/skills/speckit-autopilot/references/grounding.md, and abstain when nothing grounds it.

Scope

Use this skill when the user wants a SPEC-ID prepared for $speckit-autopilot. This skill is responsible for the mutation-heavy bootstrap step: identify the roadmap entry, create or reuse the correct worktree branch, generate the workflow file, and leave the repository in a state where the autopilot can start immediately.

If the user is still figuring out how to decompose a feature, write a technical roadmap, or understand the SDD process, redirect them to $speckit-coach. Do not invent roadmap data or phase prompts from vague requirements when the roadmap entry does not exist.

Artifact tiering (CONTRACT vs EXHAUST)

speckit-pro artifacts are tiered. CONTRACT artifacts (spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md, research.md, supporting design artifacts) are review-visible and live at their normal locations. The three authored EXHAUST artifacts (the design-concept doc, the workflow file, and the UAT runbook) are scaffolding, so they are written under a .process/ directory: the design-concept doc and workflow file land under docs/ai/specs/.process/, and the UAT runbook lands under the feature's own specs/<NNN>/.process/. EXHAUST artifacts are kept, not discarded: each one stays readable at its .process/ path.

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.
