write-spec

write-spec is a skill for Claude Code from sun2443/designer-skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,732 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of write-spec, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for writing a feature specification or PRD, a document that explains what to build, why, for whom, and how success will be measured. It starts with a problem, request, or early idea and develops it into a structured plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define product features, research related work, set non-goals, identify dependencies, and break a large request into phases.
Why use it?
It helps replace vague requests with clear goals, boundaries, acceptance criteria, constraints, and measurable outcomes.

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

write-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 13d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to write-spec — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Usage

/write-spec $ARGUMENTS

Workflow

1. Understand the Feature

Ask the user what they want to spec. Accept any of:

  • A feature name ("SSO support")
  • A problem statement ("Enterprise customers keep asking for centralized auth")
  • A user request ("Users want to export their data as CSV")
  • A vague idea ("We should do something about onboarding drop-off")

2. Gather Context

Ask the user for the following. Be conversational — do not dump all questions at once. Ask the most important ones first and fill in gaps as you go:

  • User problem: What problem does this solve? Who experiences it?
  • Target users: Which user segment(s) does this serve?
  • Success metrics: How will we know this worked?
  • Constraints: Technical constraints, timeline, regulatory requirements, dependencies
  • Prior art: Has this been attempted before? Are there existing solutions?

3. Pull Context from Connected Tools

If ~~project tracker is connected:

  • Search for related tickets, epics, or features
  • Pull in any existing requirements or acceptance criteria
  • Identify dependencies on other work items

If ~~knowledge base is connected:

  • Search for related research documents, prior specs, or design docs
  • Pull in relevant user research findings
  • Find related meeting notes or decision records

If ~~design is connected:

  • Pull related mockups, wireframes, or design explorations
  • Search for design system components relevant to the feature

If these tools are not connected, work entirely from what the user provides. Do not ask the user to connect tools — just proceed with available information.

4. Generate the PRD

Produce a structured PRD with these sections. See PRD Structure below for detailed guidance on what each section should contain.

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.
