spec-traceability

A requirement-to-test mapping tool for specification documents. It reads formats such as user stories and Given-When-Then scenarios, then links requirements to tests in both directions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check an implementation against a specification and create a traceability report.
Why use it?
It shows which requirements have tests and which tests support each requirement, making missing coverage easier to find.

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 B, and why

spec-traceability scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Tells the agent never to refusemediumAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

Never refuse to parse. Empty IR is acceptable; the verify command will report "0 requirements parsed" and the user can fix the spec.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

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-traceability is a skill published in the GitHub repository willmarple/harness-visualizer (17 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 2,920 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (tells the agent never to refuse). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
