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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00061 | $0.01227 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00491 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00245 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00123 |
Grade A, and why
spec-driven-implementation 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.

spec-driven-implementation
Drive a spec-first workflow for substantial features in Warp.
Overview
Use this skill for significant features where a written spec will improve implementation quality, reduce ambiguity, or make review easier. Be pragmatic: not every change needs specs.
Specs should usually live in:
specs/<linear-ticket-number>/PRODUCT.mdspecs/<linear-ticket-number>/TECH.md
For example:
specs/APP-1234/PRODUCT.mdspecs/APP-1234/TECH.md
specs/ should contain only ticket-named directories as direct children. Do not create engineer-named subdirectories or feature-slug directories there.
If a relevant Linear issue does not already exist, create one before writing specs. Use the Linear MCP tools directly:
list_teamsto find the appropriate teamlist_issue_labelsto inspect the expected labels/tagssave_issueto create the issue with the appropriate team and labels
If the correct team or labels are not obvious from the request and surrounding context, use ask_user_question to clarify rather than guessing.
These specs should largely be written by agents, not by hand, and should be checked into source control so they can be reviewed and kept current with the code.
When specs are required
Strongly prefer specs when the change is substantial, such as:
- product or architectural ambiguity
- expected implementation size around 1k+ LOC
- deep or cross-cutting stack changes
- risky behavior changes where regressions would be expensive
- work where agent quality will improve materially from clearer inputs
Specs are often unnecessary for:
- small, local bug fixes
- straightforward refactors
- narrow UI tweaks with little ambiguity
For pure UI changes, the product spec is often useful while the tech spec may be unnecessary.
Workflow
1. Decide whether the feature needs specs
Evaluate the size, ambiguity, and risk of the feature. If specs will not meaningfully improve execution or review, skip them and focus on verification instead.
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.

spec-driven-implementation is a skill published in the GitHub repository warpdotdev/common-skills (636 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 1,227 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
