uvs-spec

uvs-spec is a skill for Claude Code from utsavanand/uv-suite. It costs 23 tokens per session (611 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning feature requests or unclear requirements into a structured technical specification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a feature or clarifying vague requirements, especially when the specification must account for existing modules, files, data models, or project decisions.
Why use it?
It gathers project context and existing architecture first, so the specification can reflect the real codebase instead of relying on guesses.

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

uvs-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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Requirements

$ARGUMENTS

Session output directory

Write the spec under this directory (it is scoped to the current session, so artifacts are attributable to the session that produced them):

!"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}"/.claude/hooks/uv-out-session.sh

Step 0 — Gather context (do this FIRST, before writing)

The codebase map, prior specs, and decisions for this project are auto-loaded below (from uv-out/). Read them first — they are the indexed view of the existing codebase. Then use AskUserQuestion to ask the user only for what those don't cover: specific files, modules, API contracts, or data models the spec must account for. Read every file they name before drafting. Greenfield (no map, no relevant code) → proceed without. Don't guess at relevant files — ground in the map or ask.

Project context

!cat CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No CLAUDE.md found"

Existing architecture

!ls -la docs/architecture* 2>/dev/null || echo "No architecture docs found"

What we already know about this codebase (from uv-out)

Prior UV Suite artifacts for THIS project. Ground the spec in them — reference real modules and patterns from the map, reuse existing conventions, and build on (don't re-spec) what's already captured.

Codebase map (architecture, domains, entry points)

!"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}"/.claude/hooks/uv-out-best.sh map-codebase.md 120 || echo "No codebase map — run /uvs-understand first for a grounded spec"

Stack map (if a multi-service system)

!"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}"/.claude/hooks/uv-out-best.sh map-stack.md 80 || echo "No stack map"

Prior specs (build on these; don't duplicate)

!"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}"/.claude/hooks/uv-out-best.sh 'specs/*.md' 80 || echo "No prior specs"

Architecture decisions

!"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}"/.claude/hooks/uv-out-best.sh 'architecture/decisions.md' 60 || echo "No architecture decisions found"

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.

uvs-spec is a skill published in the GitHub repository utsavanand/uv-suite (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 611 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
