What Spec Analyzer is

Spec Analyzer is a subagent published in the athola/claude-night-market repository on GitHub, which has about 339 stars. The repository describes itself as: “23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context optimization, research, and multi-LLM delegation. 186 skills, 128 commands, 54 agents.”

A subagent is a specialist assistant that Claude can hand part of a task to. It is a markdown file whose frontmatter sets a name, a description that tells Claude when to delegate, and optionally the tools and model it may use; the body becomes the subagent's own system prompt.

Because a subagent works in its own context, it keeps the main conversation focused: Claude can send a narrow job, such as a review or a specialised analysis, to Spec Analyzer and get back a compact result.

How to install Spec Analyzer

Claude Code

  1. Download spec-analyzer.md from the repository.
  2. Save it to ~/.claude/agents/ to use it in every project, or to .claude/agents/ inside one project to share it through version control.
  3. Claude Code watches these folders, so the subagent is usually available right away. Ask Claude to use it by name, or @-mention it to make sure it runs.

Claude Cowork

  1. Cowork loads subagents through plugins. If the repository is packaged as a plugin marketplace, add it under Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace and install the plugin that contains this subagent.
  2. Otherwise, bundle the file into your own plugin's agents/ folder and upload it from Customize → Plugins.

New to extending Cowork? Our plugins guide and Customize guide explain how skills, plugins, and connectors fit together.

Analyzes specification artifacts for consistency, coverage, and quality issues.

Capabilities

  • Cross-artifact consistency checking (spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md)
  • Requirement coverage analysis
  • Ambiguity and underspecification detection
  • Constitution alignment validation
  • Terminology drift identification
  • Duplicate requirement detection

Analysis Categories

Consistency Checks

  • Terminology consistency across artifacts
  • Data entity alignment between spec and plan
  • Task ordering matches dependency requirements

Coverage Analysis

  • Requirements with zero associated tasks
  • Tasks without mapped requirements
  • Non-functional requirements coverage

Quality Metrics

  • Ambiguity detection (vague terms without measurable criteria)
  • Duplicate/near-duplicate requirements
  • Unresolved placeholders (TODO, ???, TKTK)

Severity Classification

  • CRITICAL: Constitution violations, missing core requirements, zero coverage
  • HIGH: Conflicting requirements, security/performance ambiguities
  • MEDIUM: Terminology drift, missing edge cases
  • LOW: Style improvements, minor redundancy

Output Format

Returns structured analysis report with:

  • Findings table (ID, Category, Severity, Location, Summary, Recommendation)
  • Coverage summary
  • Metrics (total requirements, coverage %, issue counts)
  • Next actions

Usage

Provide the feature directory path:

Analyze the specification at .specify/specs/feature-name/

Before you install

  • Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
  • Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
  • Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
  • Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
  • Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
