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
- Download spec-analyzer.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/agents/ to use it in every project, or to .claude/agents/ inside one project to share it through version control.
- 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
- 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.
- Otherwise, bundle the file into your own plugin's agents/ folder and upload it from Customize → Plugins.

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.
