openspec-workflow

openspec-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from wyattowalsh/agents. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,449 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for using OpenSpec as a change-control system for substantial repository changes. OpenSpec records the proposed change, its status, instructions, validation, and archival.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose setup, create or continue change records, obtain next-step instructions, validate specifications, and archive completed changes.
Why use it?
It gives developers a shared process for planning and checking non-trivial changes instead of relying on informal notes or memory.

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

openspec-workflow 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/asset_toolkit/__init__.py, scripts/asset_toolkit/_shared.py, scripts/asset_toolkit/common.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenSpec Workflow

Use OpenSpec as the spec/change control plane for non-trivial changes to this repository's portable agent assets, downstream tooling, docs generation, hooks, bundle metadata, or validation behavior.

Dispatch

$ARGUMENTS Action
Empty Show the repo OpenSpec quick path
doctor Diagnose OpenSpec toolchain and project state
init [tools] Materialize downstream OpenSpec skills/commands locally
status <change> Read change artifact status as JSON
instructions <artifact> <change> Get AI-readable next-step instructions
validate Validate all OpenSpec specs and changes
archive <change> Validate and archive a completed change
Natural language change request Decide whether OpenSpec is warranted, then create or continue a change

Quick Path

  1. Diagnose setup before OpenSpec work:
uv run python skills/openspec-workflow/scripts/openspec_cli.py doctor
  1. For non-trivial repo changes, create or continue an OpenSpec change using the generated upstream OpenSpec skills/commands when available.

  2. When generated upstream OpenSpec skills are not available, use repo wrappers for structured state:

uv run python skills/openspec-workflow/scripts/openspec_cli.py status --change <change> --format json
uv run python skills/openspec-workflow/scripts/openspec_cli.py instructions <artifact> --change <change> --format json
  1. Validate before implementation completion or archive:

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.
