What it does

To Spec is an agent skill from vinvcn/mattpocock-skills-zh-CN. 把当前对话转成 spec 并发布到项目 issue tracker：不做访谈，只综合已经讨论的内容。

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Issue triage and User stories. The repository describes itself as: 这是 mattpocock/skills 的简体中文本地化版本。 The licence is MIT.

Tasks that involve User stories

Example prompts

“/to-spec”

Workflow steps

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

如果还没有探索 repo，先探索它以理解 codebase 当前状态。在 spec 中始终使用项目 domain glossary vocabulary，并遵守相关 ADRs。
草拟你准备在哪些 seams 上测试这个 feature。优先使用现有 seams，而不是新增 seams。使用尽可能高层的 seam。如果确实需要新增 seams，尽可能在最高层提出。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf98e53. 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

To Spec loads about 441 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~441

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.

SKILL.md

description: 把当前对话转成 spec 并发布到项目 issue tracker：不做访谈，只综合已经讨论的内容。
disable-model-invocation: true

这个 skill 使用当前 conversation context 和 codebase understanding 产出 spec。不要访谈用户，只综合你已经知道的内容。

Issue tracker 和 triage label vocabulary 应该已经提供给你；如果没有，请让用户运行 /setup-matt-pocock-skills。

流程

如果还没有探索 repo，先探索它以理解 codebase 当前状态。在 spec 中始终使用项目 domain glossary vocabulary，并遵守相关 ADRs。
草拟你准备在哪些 seams 上测试这个 feature。优先使用现有 seams，而不是新增 seams。使用尽可能高层的 seam。如果确实需要新增 seams，尽可能在最高层提出。

Seams 越少越好，理想数量是一个。与用户确认这些 seams 是否符合预期。

使用下面模板写 spec，并发布到项目 issue tracker。应用 ready-for-agent triage label；不需要额外 triage。

<spec-template>

Problem Statement

用户正在面对的问题，从用户视角描述。

Solution

问题的解决方案，从用户视角描述。

User Stories

一份很长的编号 user stories 列表。每条 user story 使用以下格式：

As an <actor>, I want a <feature>, so that <benefit>

<user-story-example>
1. As a mobile bank customer, I want to see balance on my accounts, so that I can make better informed decisions about my spending
</user-story-example>

这份 user stories 列表应该非常完整，覆盖 feature 的所有方面。

Implementation Decisions

已作出的 implementation decisions 列表。可以包括：

将 build/modify 的 modules
将 modify 的 module interfaces
来自 developer 的技术澄清
Architectural decisions
Schema changes
API contracts
Specific interactions

不要包含具体 file paths 或 code snippets。它们可能很快过时。

例外：如果 prototype 产出的 snippet 比 prose 更精确地编码了某个决策（state machine、reducer、schema、type shape），可以内联到相关 decision 中，并简短说明它来自 prototype。只保留决策密集部分，不要放完整 working demo。

Testing Decisions

已作出的 testing decisions 列表。包括：

什么是好测试的描述（只测试 external behavior，不测试 implementation details）
哪些 modules 会被测试
测试的 prior art（即 codebase 中类似类型的 tests）

Out of Scope

本 spec 范围外事项的描述。

Further Notes

关于 feature 的其他 notes。
