spec

spec is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from scosman/vibe-crafting. It costs 171 tokens per session (2,290 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specification-led workflow for planning, building, and reviewing software projects. It provides commands for starting projects, continuing work, implementing tasks, and reviewing code or pull requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or continue a project, turn specifications into implementation tasks, set up work, and review code or pull-request feedback.
Why use it?
It gives development work a structured path from an idea to implementation and review. This can reduce uncertainty about what to plan or do next.

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

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 21d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spec-Driven Development

A structured process for building software projects with specifications. You (the human) focus on decisions and review; AI agents handle drafting and building.

How It Works

Every batch of work ("project") gets a spec folder under /specs/projects/PROJECT_NAME/. The skill guides you through:

  1. Planning: Project overview → functional spec → architecture → implementation plan
  2. Building: Implement phases autonomously, with code review built into each phase
  3. Reviewing: Spec-aware code review that verifies implementation matches design

The skill is project-agnostic. It provides the process; your project-specific conventions (test commands, linting, style) come from your system prompt configuration.

If This Conversation Was Compacted

The command references below hold the role definitions, process gates and prompt templates for each command. Compaction restores only this file — not them. If this conversation has been compacted part-way through a command, re-read that command's reference file before your next action.

When compacting, preserve: this instruction, which /spec command is running, which phase and step it is on, and the handles of any sub-agents you hold — the coding agent's agent ID in particular, since you resume it for review feedback and commit.

During /spec implement, /spec task and /spec pr you are a manager: you spawn and resume sub-agents, triage review findings, run git, and print progress blocks. You do not write code, run tests, review code, or commit. Every coding round — including one that addresses review feedback — is code-reviewed before commit.

Command Reference

/spec setup

One-time (or incremental) setup for using the skill in a repo. Adds .specs_skill_state/ to gitignore, creates /specs/projects/ directories, detects monorepo layout, and checks for commonly-needed configuration.

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.
