openspeccer

openspeccer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sammcj/agentic-coding. It costs 59 tokens per session (503 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only local web dashboard for repositories that contain an OpenSpec folder. OpenSpec is a file-based way to track proposed software changes, their documents, and their tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to browse an OpenSpec project, answer which changes are active, inspect a change's artifacts and tasks, or start its local dashboard.
Why use it?
It lets you inspect work in progress without editing or archiving change files. Summary and change views make it easier to see project status and completion progress.

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

openspeccer 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 41 executable files (assets/web/app.js, assets/web/export.js, assets/web/lib.js, …), 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.

What it actually says

openspeccer is a read-only local web dashboard for any repository holding an openspec/ directory. It is stdlib Python and needs no install. Run <this-skill-dir>/scripts/serve.py --help for every option.

Workflow

  1. Create a task per step below, each with its completion criterion, then work through them.
  2. Find the repo: pass the user's repo path, or omit it and the script searches upward from the current directory for openspec/.
  3. For a status question ("what's in flight?"), run serve.py <repo> --summary and answer from its output. For one change's artifacts and tasks, use --change <slug>. --json prints the whole snapshot; send it to a file and read only what you need. Done once you have answered, with no server started.
  4. If the user wants the dashboard, start serve.py <repo> as a background process. Done when a line containing serving <name> at <url> appears, or the process exits; on exit, report its stderr to the user.
  5. Always give the user the URL. Pass --no-open in headless or remote sessions, and when re-running against a server that is already up.
  6. To stop it, end the background process you started, using the PID or task handle you captured at launch.

Gotchas

  • Re-running for the same repo reuses the running server and prints already serving, so step 4 is safe to repeat.
  • A server you did not start (no handle from this session) belongs to the user. Leave it running.
  • The OpenSpec CLI is optional and only feeds the Schemas and Commands pages. Without it, only project schemas show and Commands is empty. For a CLI outside PATH, set OPENSPECCER_OPENSPEC_BIN.
  • Active changes from every git worktree are aggregated by default.
  • The page updates as files change, so there is nothing to refresh after editing artifacts.
Files

What ships with it

48 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
