Openspec Explore helps you quickly find relevant Open Specification documents for technical research and understanding hardware designs.

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add pbh-btn/peerbanhelper --skill openspec-explore -a claude-code
  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned pbh-btn/peerbanhelper at 471956a9a0.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The openspec-explore skill allows AI agents to discover and explore open specification documents. It provides access to publicly available specifications, enabling agents to understand technical standards and protocols. This capability facilitates tasks requiring knowledge of specific technologies or industry requirements.

When to use it

  • Technical Research: Investigate the details of a particular communication protocol like TCP/IP or HTTP.
  • Compliance Checks: Determine if a system adheres to a defined standard, such as WCAG for web accessibility.
  • Software Development: Understand API specifications before integrating with external services.
  • Troubleshooting: Diagnose issues by referencing relevant technical documentation and standards.

Key capabilities

  • Access to open specification documents
  • Discovery of publicly available specifications
  • Understanding of technical standards and protocols

Example prompts

  • "Find the latest version of the OpenAPI Specification."
  • "What are the requirements for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance?"
  • "Show me the RFC document describing HTTP/2."

Tips & gotchas

The agent's ability to interpret and utilize the retrieved specifications depends on its overall reasoning capabilities. Complex specifications may require multiple interactions or specialized parsing skills beyond this skill’s scope.
