What it does

Specsep QA is an agent skill from InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV. Build, run, or diagnose the repository-owned iccSpecSepToTiff QA suites and their checked-in spectral TIFF fixtures.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools that allow for the interaction, manipulation, and application of ICC color management profiles. The licence is BSD-3-Clause.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/specsep-qa”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): bash, read, grep, glob, shell(git:*)

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read ../../../Tools/CmdLine/IccSpecSepToTiff/Readme.md for the command
  2. Build iccSpecSepToTiff, iccTiffDump, and iccFromXml in the same tree.
  3. Run the repository wrapper from any directory
  4. For a focused failure, rerun the named child script shown by the wrapper.
  5. Keep durable fixtures under .github/ci/test-data/; keep generated TIFFs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c2425d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • bash
    • read
    • grep
    • glob
    • shell(git:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Specsep QA loads about 774 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 318 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~774

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.

iccSpecSepToTiff QA

Use this skill for iccSpecSepToTiff CLI contract, TIFF geometry, profile alignment, output cleanup, or fixture work.

Workflow

  1. Read ../../../Tools/CmdLine/IccSpecSepToTiff/Readme.md for the command contract and limits.
  2. Build iccSpecSepToTiff, iccTiffDump, and iccFromXml in the same tree.
  3. Run the repository wrapper from any directory:
bash
ICCDEV_TOOLS_DIR=/path/to/iccDEV/Build/Tools \
  /path/to/iccDEV/.github/scripts/iccdev-specsep-qa.sh
  1. For a focused failure, rerun the named child script shown by the wrapper.
  2. Keep durable fixtures under .github/ci/test-data/; keep generated TIFFs and logs under ICCDEV_TEST_OUTDIR.

For a bounded option/output campaign with exact pixel and TIFF-tag validation, run:

bash
ICCDEV_TOOLS_DIR=/path/to/iccDEV/Build/Tools \
  /path/to/iccDEV/.github/scripts/iccdev-specsep-campaign.sh --seconds 300

The numbered-fixture child suite runs every checked-in valid TIFF as a single-channel input with all four compression and planar combinations.

The profile sweep runs twice, because a profile is accepted only when its sample count matches the generated TIFF: once at the default eight channels across Testing/CalcTest, which can only produce rejections, and once at --channels 3 across Testing/, whose single depth-1 profile is the 3-channel sRGB v4 preference. A run that accepts nothing says so, so a rejection-only corpus cannot look like full coverage. For a local registry download, rerun with --profile-dir /path/to/profiles and a --channels value the corpus can match; accepted profiles must be embedded, while profile-specific clean rejections are expected.

The extended campaign requires Python numpy, tifffile, and imagecodecs -- tifffile defers LZW decoding to imagecodecs and half the matrix writes LZW. It preserves a machine-readable text summary, representative iccTiffDump/tiffinfo inspections, generated inputs, and output TIFFs under ICCDEV_TEST_OUTDIR. It exits nonzero for either a functional failure or a specification-audit finding; review both categories in matrix-summary.txt.

Fixture Rules

  • spectral/spec_1 through spec_10 are the tiny normal conversion sequence.
  • specsep-harvest/gray300/spec_1 through spec_8 cover larger grayscale input.
  • specsep-truncated/spec_1 is the late-read-failure cleanup fixture.
  • Do not replace these with local scratch paths or generated build artifacts.

Validation

Run the wrapper, then the six registered CTests when CTest integration is in scope:

bash
ctest --test-dir Build -R '^iccdev\.specsep-' --output-on-failure --no-tests=error

Verify changed text files are ASCII and run git diff --check.
