  • Asked to sync a spec with a rippled PR

What it does

Spec From Rippled is an agent skill from XRPLF/XRPL-Standards. Update an XLS specification to match changes made in rippled. Use when asked to sync a spec with a rippled PR or commit, update an XLS from the implementation, reconcile a spec against rippled code, or check whether a spec still matches what was built.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/rippled-map.md`).

The repository describes itself as: XLS: XRP(L) community defined Suggestions, Proposals, RFCs / Standards / Drafts & discussions, to be added to the core protocol, used for platform & apps devemopment, etc. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to sync a spec with a rippled PR
  • Update an XLS from the implementation
  • Reconcile a spec against rippled code
  • Check whether a spec still matches what was built

Example prompts

  • “/spec-from-rippled”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the diff
  2. Identify the target spec
  3. Map changed files to spec sections
  4. Read the spec, then propose edits
  5. Update the preamble
  6. Verify
  7. Report what did not map

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad935be. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh
    • python

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

Spec From Rippled loads about 764 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 359 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~764
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

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.

Update an XLS specification to match changes made in rippled. Use when asked to sync a spec with a rippled PR or commit, update an XLS from the implementation, reconcile a spec against rippled code, or check whether a spec still matches what was built.

Update a spec from rippled changes

Reconcile an XLS-NNNN-slug/README.md in this repo against a change in rippled, and propose the minimal spec edits that make the two agree.

The implementation is the evidence. Every proposed edit cites a rippled path:line. Never describe behavior that is not in the code you read.

1. Get the diff

From a PR or commit URL (no checkout needed):

bash
gh pr diff XRPLF/rippled <number>
gh pr view XRPLF/rippled <number> --json title,body,files
# or, for a commit:
gh api repos/XRPLF/rippled/commits/<sha> --jq '.files[].filename'

From a local checkout (e.g. ~/Documents/rippled-all/develop):

bash
git -C <rippled> diff develop...<branch> --stat
git -C <rippled> diff develop...<branch>

Ask which one to use if the request is ambiguous. For a large diff, work from --stat first and read individual files as needed.

2. Identify the target spec

In order of preference: the XLS number in the PR title or body; the amendment name added to include/xrpl/protocol/detail/features.macro, matched against this repo; or ask. Do not guess between two candidate specs.

3. Map changed files to spec sections

Read references/rippled-map.md.

rippled's tree moves — transactors and invariants were recently relocated under src/libxrpl/tx/. Treat every path in that table as a hint and confirm it before relying on it:

bash
git -C <rippled> ls-files '*transactors*' | head
git -C <rippled> grep -n "TxName" -- include src | head -30

4. Read the spec, then propose edits

For each mapped change:

  1. Read the current spec text for that section.
  2. Decide whether the spec is wrong, incomplete, or already correct. Say so for each — "already correct" is a useful result.
  3. Propose the smallest edit that fixes it, quoting the rippled path:line that justifies it.

Do not restructure sections the diff does not touch. Do not infer a failure condition, a default value, or an invariant that you did not read in the code.

5. Update the preamble

  • Bump updated: to today's date.
  • Add or refresh implementation: if this PR is the reference implementation.
  • Do not change status: — an Amendment or System XLS reaching Final is a separate decision, and needs the rippled PR merged first.

6. Verify

Run the xls-template-conformity skill on the edited spec, or at minimum:

bash
python scripts/validate_xls_template.py XLS-NNNN-slug/README.md

7. Report what did not map

List every changed rippled file you could not tie to a spec section, with a one-line reason. Some are genuinely spec-invisible (refactors, build files, logging); others mean the spec is missing a section. That call belongs to the author, so surface it rather than deciding it.
