Spectra A desktop app for managing spec documents — visually track changes, specs, and tasks. What is Spectra? Spectra is a Spec-Driven Development (SDD) tool made up of a desktop app, a CLI, and skills for coding agents. Your coding agent uses the skills to propose changes, write specs, and carry out tasks, while the app lets you browse specs, track progress, and archive completed work — no more manually managing spec directories, YAML configs, and Markdown files. Spectra was inspired by OpenSpec. It started as a GUI frontend for OpenSpec, but after using it for a while, I found that OpenSpec's workflow didn't quite match my own development habits. So I decided to rewrite the entire workflow — simplifying commands, adding the features I wanted, and shaping it into a tool that fits my daily development rhythm.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
