codexspec:spec-to-plan

codexspec:spec-to-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zts0hg/codexspec. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,421 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns an already approved software design into an ordered implementation plan. The design describes what the system is; the plan describes how to build it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan phases, task order, and checks for implementing a confirmed design.
Why use it?
It makes implementation steps, dependencies, and verification traceable to the confirmed design. It avoids redesigning decisions that have already been approved.

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:spec-to-plan 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 3d 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 — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Specification to Plan Converter

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

the text after the $codexspec:spec-to-plan skill mention

Role

Act as an implementation planner. Define how to build the confirmed design in phases while preserving confirmed user intent. The design (design.md) already defines what the system is — architecture, components, interfaces, and key design decisions. Do not redo that design here: consume it and plan how to implement it (phases, ordering, verification).

Feature Resolution

Use an explicit path first, then the current branch. If neither uniquely identifies a feature, ask the user to select one. Never silently select the latest feature.

Read:

  • requirements.md
  • spec.md
  • design.md
  • .codexspec/memory/constitution.md when present
  • Relevant repository files needed to verify existing patterns and constraints

Design-stage compatibility: if design.md is absent (a legacy feature created before the design stage), plan directly from spec.md and state that no separate design artifact was available.

Legacy compatibility: if requirements.md is absent, treat spec.md as the temporary highest authority and disclose that original-discussion fidelity cannot be checked.

Authority and Stop Conditions

Authority order:

  1. Confirmed requirements.md
  2. spec.md
  3. Constitution and verified repository facts
  4. design.md
  5. Plan-level technical decisions
  6. General best practices

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.
