codexspec:quick

A shortened requirements-first workflow for small, clearly defined software changes. Requirements-first means deciding and recording what the change must do before implementing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a bounded change with few files, dependencies, or unresolved product decisions.
Why use it?
It provides a lightweight way to clarify a small change without applying the full process used for larger work.

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

codexspec:quick 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Quick Implementation

Language Preference

Read .codexspec/config.yml. Two independent language controls apply (each falls back to language.output, then English):

  • Interaction language (language.interaction): language for all conversation with the user — questions, explanations, status messages, and codexspec CLI terminal output.
  • Document language (language.document): language for generated artifact files (requirements/spec/plan/tasks).

Converse in the interaction language and author artifacts in the document language. Apply the project's translation standard to both: translate by meaning (not word-for-word), keep English for terms with no good native equivalent, and write as if originally in that language.

User Input

Scope Check

Quick is intended for a small, well-bounded change. Assess likely files, module span, new dependencies, and unresolved product decisions.

If the change is broad or has multiple independent outcomes, explain why the standard flow is safer and ask whether to continue with Quick.

Compact Requirement Confirmation

Even in Quick mode, do not rely on session-only context.

  1. Resolve only ambiguities that materially change implementation.
  2. Create a feature workspace and requirements.md using the same timestamp feature convention as $codexspec:specify.
  3. Present a concise confirmed requirement summary containing:
    • NEED-*
    • relevant CON-* and DEC-*
    • OUT-*
    • unresolved OPEN-*
  4. Ask the user to confirm the summary.
  5. Persist only confirmed entries, with short User Evidence and a Confirmation Log.

Do not start generation before confirmation. If a critical question remains open, stop.

Automated Flow

Use the created feature directory explicitly for every command:

  1. $codexspec:generate-spec <feature-dir>/requirements.md
  2. $codexspec:spec-to-plan <feature-dir>/spec.md
  3. $codexspec:plan-to-tasks <feature-dir>/plan.md
  4. $codexspec:implement-tasks <feature-dir>/tasks.md

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.

codexspec:quick is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zts0hg/codexspec (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 539 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.
