Loki Spec Status — Testing skill for Claude Code

Testing community

Check whether the spec has drifted from its lock using Loki's living-spec drift detection, and summarize the report.

What Loki Spec Status does

description: Check whether the spec has drifted from its lock using Loki's living-spec drift detection, and summarize the report. argument-hint: "[spec-path] (default: prd.md / .loki/generated-prd.md)" allowed-tools: Bash(loki spec:*), Read

Check whether the spec is still true: the spec is the contract; Loki keeps it true. This runs deterministic drift detection (no LLM cost) comparing the current spec against its lock.

Steps:

If there is no lock yet, the status command will say so
