create-specifications

create-specifications is a skill for Claude Code from tomzx/agents. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,461 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical specification that turns an approved requirements document into a detailed plan for building the feature.

In plain words
What is it for?
It describes system architecture, data models, API contracts, component responsibilities, and important sequences of operations.
Why use it?
It makes the planned architecture, data, interfaces, components, and system interactions clear before implementation.

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

create-specifications 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 22d 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.

Create Specifications

Produces a detailed technical specification from a requirements document, covering architecture, data models, API contracts, component design, and key sequences.

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared SDLC conventions in skills/sdlc/references/shared.md.
  • If no argument is provided, locate the feature directory under .sdlc/features/ whose frontmatter issue field references $ISSUE_NUMBER.
  • .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/requirements.md (must have passed review with findings verdict approved), or a requirements document provided in context or as a file path ($1)
  • .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/existing-solutions.md (optional, if a prior-art survey was produced): adopt its recommendation and reuse the patterns it captured
  • .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/codebase-analysis.md (optional, if existing code was analyzed): follow each component's change disposition and its "must not change" constraints, and follow the migration path for any refactor or replace

Steps

  1. Read and understand the requirements document, the existing solutions survey if present, and the codebase analysis if present.
  2. Identify the major components and their responsibilities.
  3. Define data models: entities, attributes, and relationships.
  4. Specify API contracts: endpoints, request/response schemas, and error codes. When the feature defines an API surface, write the normative contract to .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/api.yaml (OpenAPI 3, template at skills/sdlc/templates/features/api.yaml) and keep only a summary table in specification.md, so the contract is lintable and diffable instead of prose.
  5. Describe key sequences as Mermaid sequenceDiagram blocks (one per flow): user flows, system interactions, and async processes. A message with no receiver makes a missing step obvious before code exists.
  6. Document technical decisions and their rationale.
  7. Identify risks, unknowns, and deferred decisions.
  8. Design data models, API contracts, and persisted state for evolution so future versions stay forward compatible (see Forward Compatibility below).
  9. Validate best-effort: lint api.yaml with npx -y @stoplight/spectral-cli lint api.yaml and render each mermaid block with mmdc (or npx -y @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli) when available. A missing tool is not a failure; skip and note it. A validation failure is a defect to fix before handoff.
  10. Write the output to .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/specification.md (plus api.yaml when the feature has an API surface).

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.

create-specifications is a skill published in the GitHub repository tomzx/agents (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,461 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
