bdd-specs

bdd-specs is a skill for Claude Code from robconery/kolea. It costs 183 tokens per session (1,708 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bdd-specs, MIT.

A behavior-driven design tool that writes executable specifications before implementation code. It turns a build plan and user stories into TypeScript tests arranged by feature, scenario, and specification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create specifications for planned features, including normal and error cases, before writing the implementation.
Why use it?
It makes the intended behavior explicit before coding begins, so failures point to a specific expectation. It also requires the project plan and user stories to exist first.

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

bdd-specs 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (templates/feature.bun.spec.ts, templates/feature.jest.spec.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Behavior-Driven Design — Specifications First

Specifications are written before implementation. The spec is the design artifact: it encodes the intended behavior from the plan and the user stories, fails first, and is the definition of done. Do not write implementation code under this skill until the specs exist and the user has seen them.

🎯 Why: Design for Change

The goal of writing software is to be able to change it safely. Specs are the safety net that makes change possible — without them, every edit is a guess. One assertion per Specification means a failing spec names exactly what broke; happy/sad-path separation means you can change one behavior without re-reading the whole suite. The spec suite is the change-budget for the codebase.

The non-negotiable workflow

Run these gates in order. Do not skip ahead.

1. Require the plan

Look for the build plan at /docs/PLAN.md (also accept docs/PLAN.md, PLAN.md, or an obvious docs/plan.*).

  • If it is missing: stop. Ask the user to provide a PLAN.md in /docs. Offer to scaffold one from templates/PLAN.md and let them fill it in, or to draft it from their description and write it to /docs/PLAN.md for approval. Do not proceed to specs without an approved plan.
  • If it exists: read it fully. It defines the features and the technical boundaries the specs must cover.

2. Require the user stories

Look for user stories at /docs/STORIES.md (also accept docs/STORIES.md, STORIES.md).

  • If it is missing: stop. Ask the user for the user stories. Offer to scaffold templates/STORIES.md, or to derive draft stories from PLAN.md and write them to /docs/STORIES.md for approval. Do not proceed without stories — they are the source of every Scenario.
  • If it exists: read it fully. Each story maps to one Feature; each acceptance criterion / "so that" outcome maps to a Scenario.

3. Detect the test runner

Pick the runner from the project, do not ask:

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.
