What it does

Continue Spec is an agent skill from karanhudia/borg-ui. Continue a multi-phase engineering spec from its progress table. Use when the user says /continue-spec, "continue the spec", "continue the operations feature", or asks what the next phase is. Runs the next step (plan, implement, review) in this session on the model the spec names, stopping at the spec's gates. Never uses subagents.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 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 Agent Workflows, covering Subagents. The repository describes itself as: Replace complex Borg Backup terminal commands with a beautiful web UI. Create, schedule, and restore backups with just a few clicks. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

The user says /continue-spec
Continue the spec
Continue the operations feature
Asks what the next phase is

Example prompts

“continue the spec”
“continue the operations feature”
“/continue-spec”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Edit, Write, AskUserQuestion, Skill

Workflow steps

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

If an argument is given, it is the spec path.
Otherwise, use the newest file under docs/engineering/specs/ that
If none exists, tell the user and stop.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 196a74a. 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:
- Read
- Bash
- Edit
- Write
- AskUserQuestion
- Skill
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

Continue Spec loads about 592 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~592

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
```
allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Edit, Write, AskUserQuestion, Skill
```

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.

allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Edit, Write, AskUserQuestion, Skill

Continue a spec

You do the next step yourself, in this session. Do not dispatch subagents; the owner has ruled them out on cost. The spec tells you which model each step wants; you check the model you are running on and ask before proceeding if it differs.

Resolve the spec

If an argument is given, it is the spec path.
Otherwise, use the newest file under docs/engineering/specs/ that contains a heading matching ## <n>. Working this spec.
If none exists, tell the user and stop.

Current default: docs/engineering/specs/2026-09-03-repository-operations-and-archive-history.md.

Follow the spec's own protocol

Read the spec in full. Its "Working this spec" section defines the progress table, the continuation protocol, the review focus per phase, and the gates. Follow it exactly. In short:

Find the first phase not done in the progress table.
Work out the step from its status and the model that step wants from the phases table.
Gate G0: compare with the model this session runs on. If different, ask the user to switch with /model and rerun, or to continue anyway. Wait for the answer.
Do the step in this session:
- plan: superpowers:writing-plans, then gate G1;
- implement: branch, superpowers:executing-plans with superpowers:test-driven-development, then superpowers:verification-before-completion, then gate G2;
- review: /code-review high against the listed spec sections, findings only, then gate G3.
Update the progress table immediately after every state change.

Rules

Never commit, push, or merge without the gate answer. See .claude/instructions.md.
Never re-open a decision recorded in the spec's Appendix B. Escalate to gate G5 instead.
The spec wins when the plan and the code disagree.
Report back in plain language: which phase, which step, what was done, what the user needs to decide now.
