What it does

Cy Create Spec is an agent skill from compozy/compozy. Create or update a requested CompozyOS spec and its applicable companion contracts, reusing current decisions and research. Not a prerequisite for ordinary coding tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/adr-template.md`, `references/dx-template.md` and `references/grill-protocol.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management. The repository describes itself as: An operating system for AI agents. Plug in the agent CLIs you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor) and they become a team: they split the work, hand tasks to each… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Product & Project Management work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/cy-create-spec”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eec2ed1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cy Create Spec loads about 848 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 415 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~848
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Create or update a requested CompozyOS spec and its applicable companion contracts, reusing current decisions and research. Not a prerequisite for ordinary coding tasks.

Create Spec

Use for a requested specification, not as a prerequisite to an ordinary fix. Author _spec.md with Product and Technical parts and the applicable companion contracts under .compozy/tasks/<slug>/.

  1. Reuse the user's decisions, existing spec, and current research. Inspect relevant code/contracts for unresolved questions. Market research is needed only for a market/product uncertainty or an explicit request; delegation is optional and bounded.
  2. State the motivating problem, observable outcome, scope, and non-goals. Ask focused questions only for decisions the evidence cannot settle; apparent simplicity is not evidence. An approved direction satisfies the product checkpoint; do not repeat an interview or approval already completed. For an open-ended product interview, use the relevant branch of references/grill-protocol.md.
  3. Write Part I and _user_stories.md from references/spec-template.md and references/user-stories-template.md. Product requirements may name a technology when it is an actual public contract or fixed user constraint; incidental implementation belongs in Part II.
  4. Define the changed public surface before its internal implementation: _dx.md uses references/dx-template.md; UI-bearing work uses _uiux.md and references/uiux-template.md. For an internal-only spec, a brief no-public-surface entry is sufficient. Preserve named visual references and production owners.
  5. Write Part II with the concrete contracts the design changes. Read only relevant ADRs/analysis. Use references/adr-template.md for consequential decisions with real alternatives; a routine choice needs no standalone ADR. Include SD-013 compatibility for changed user state/public surfaces, delete targets, and one owning impact analysis with links from companions.
  6. Write _tests.md using references/tests-template.md: distinct invariants, owning suites, inputs/results, and necessary integration journeys. Reuse existing coverage; no quotas per component, error class, or layer.
  7. Check applicable spec markers with cy-spec-preflight, contract consistency, and the earliest useful end-to-end outcome. Choose slice count from dependencies/risk; slice_budget is a planning preference, not a forced split or permission loop.
  8. Save reviewable files and summarize unresolved decisions. After the user approves the saved spec, offer optional cy-spec-peer-review; apply only selected findings. Do not start implementation merely because spec writing is complete.

Templates are section guides: keep shared outcome/contract content, omit irrelevant sections or record a short reason where a downstream schema requires a slot. Read each reference when its branch is used, not the whole package. Maintain a concise File References index naming contract inputs and why each matters; tasks copy their relevant subset. Preserve requested scope; narrowing an accepted motivating problem requires the user's recorded decision.

For updates, edit affected sections/companions only. Missing or contradictory inputs are resolved from user decisions and current policy; report a genuinely blocking missing contract without inventing it.
