What it tells the agent

The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

name: gsd:spec-phase
description: Socratic spec refinement — clarify WHAT a phase delivers with ambiguity scoring before discuss-phase. Produces a SPEC.md with falsifiable requirements locked before implementation decisions begin.
argument-hint: "<phase> [--auto] [--text]"
allowed-tools:
  - Read
  - Write
  - Bash
  - Glob
  - Grep
  - AskUserQuestion
---

<objective>
Clarify phase requirements through structured Socratic questioning with quantitative ambiguity scoring.

**Position in workflow:** `spec-phase → discuss-phase → plan-phase → execute-phase → verify`

**How it works:**
1. Load phase context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md)
2. Scout the codebase — understand current state before asking questions
3. Run Socratic interview loop (up to 6 rounds, rotating perspectives)
4. Score ambiguity across 4 weighted dimensions after each round
5. Gate: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimensions meet minimums → write SPEC.md
6. Commit SPEC.md — discuss-phase picks it up automatically on next run

**Output:** `{phase_dir}/{padded_phase}-SPEC.md` — falsifiable requirements that lock "what/why" before discuss-phase handles "how"
</objective>

<execution_context>
@${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/spec-phase.md
@${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/spec.md
</execution_context>

<runtime_note>
**Copilot (VS Code):** Use `vscode_askquestions` wherever this workflow calls `AskUserQuestion`. They are equivalent.
</runtime_note>

<context>
Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required)

**Flags:**
- `--auto` — Skip interactive questions; Claude selects recommended defaults and writes SPEC.md
- `--text` — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for `/rc` remote sessions)

Context files are resolved in-workflow using `init phase-op`.
</context>

<process>
Execute the spec-phase workflow from @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/spec-phase.md end-to-end.

**MANDATORY:** Read the workflow file BEFORE taking any action. The workflow contains the complete step-by-step process including the Socratic interview loop, ambiguity scoring gate, and SPEC.md generation. Do not improvise from the objective summary above.
</process>

<success_criteria>
- Codebase scouted for current state before questioning begins
- All 4 ambiguity dimensions scored after each interview round
- Gate passed: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimension minimums met
- SPEC.md written with falsifiable requirements, explicit boundaries, and acceptance criteria
- SPEC.md committed atomically
- User knows they can now run /gsd:discuss-phase which will load SPEC.md automatically
</success_criteria>

Questions

What does the Spec Phase skill do?

A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw

Is Spec Phase safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Spec Phase access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

Which assistants does Spec Phase work with?

Its documentation mentions copilot. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (80a0afd96301), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
