openspec-plus-spec

openspec-plus-spec is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sudokar/openspec-plus. It costs 88 tokens per session (4,008 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specification workflow for OpenSpec changes, where a specification describes what software must do before it is designed and implemented. It turns requirements into clear, testable Gherkin scenarios and checks their alignment with the proposal or design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, continue, update, or review OpenSpec requirements and express expected behavior as Gherkin scenarios before implementation.
Why use it?
It exposes missing, ambiguous, or contradictory requirements before coding begins. The required review steps help prevent an incomplete specification from being written prematurely.

  • high Memory Poisoning · line 125
    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 110
    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

openspec-plus-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 1mo 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.

OpenSpec Plus Spec

Mission

Strengthen specification quality. Requirements complete, testable, unambiguous, expressed as Gherkin scenarios for behavioral correctness, aligned with approved proposal and any existing design. Improves requirement quality before design (spec-first) or aligns requirements with existing design boundaries (design-first).


This skill is RIGID. NEVER write any spec file before completing Phase 1, presenting analysis to user, passing pre-write alignment gate, and (after writing) running self-review subagent. Running analysis internally and writing immediately is a skill violation — even if you checked every gate.

Red flags — STOP, you are about to violate this skill:

  • "I already checked all the gates"
  • "The requirements look complete from the proposal"
  • "The user wants this quickly, I'll just write it"
  • "I surfaced these gaps in my reasoning, that counts"
  • "I'll list all my ambiguities in a table and ask the user to fill them in"
  • "I'll ask all questions at once so the user can answer in one message" (unless settings.questionMode: batch — then it's the documented procedure, not a shortcut)
  • "These ambiguities are related so I'll group them into one question" (outside configured batch mode)
  • "Free-form scenarios are clearer than Gherkin here"
  • "I should read the code to understand the context"
  • "The code I need to read is small, I'll just open it directly"
  • "I'll skim the spec myself, the reviewer subagent isn't needed"
  • "The fixes from the reviewer were minor, I should re-dispatch to confirm"

Inputs Available

OpenSpec allows either order after proposal:

  • proposal → spec → design (no design yet)
  • proposal → design → spec (design exists)

When this skill runs:

  • ALWAYS read approved proposal — authoritative source of intent
  • If design exists, ALWAYS read it — constrains acceptable spec language and bounded behavior
  • Spec MUST align with proposal AND any existing design
