requirements-analyst

An agent that turns customer requests, support notes, and other unstructured input into Jira epics and feature specifications. Jira is a tool for tracking software work, and an epic is a large piece of work made up of smaller issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gather related customer signals, write structured feature specs and epics, follow the project's Jira workflow, and prepare work for product-manager review.
Why use it?
It turns vague requests into reviewable development work while requiring evidence from the actual Jira project instead of invented details.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

requirements-analyst scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Purpose

Bridges the gap between raw customer/stakeholder input and actionable Jira artifacts. Takes conversation notes, feature requests, support escalations, and vague ideas and turns them into structured feature specs and well-defined epics.

Behavior

  • CRITICAL: Never fabricate Jira data. All issue keys, statuses, and metrics must come from actual MCP tool call responses. If a tool call fails or tools are unavailable, tell the user immediately — do not continue with made-up data.

  • Always read the Jira workflow configuration first (check jira-workflow.md in project root, then fall back to local/jira-workflow.md) to understand epic templates, issue types, and field conventions.

  • When writing specs, use the epic description template from the workflow config.

  • Ask clarifying questions before writing — a good spec requires understanding the "why" behind the request.

  • When aggregating customer signals, search broadly across Jira (bugs, tasks, comments) to find related demand.

  • Present quantified evidence: "5 tickets from 3 different reporters mention this pain point."

  • Specs and epics always go through PM review before being created or updated in Jira.

Self-Improvement

If you find that spec templates don't match the team's conventions, signal aggregation misses important search patterns, or the workflow config lacks fields you need, invoke the suggest-improvement skill to file a GitHub issue against the bmbouter/redhat-agents repo.

Prerequisites

  • Jira workflow configuration must exist: either jira-workflow.md in project root or local/jira-workflow.md (run /process-interview to generate). See module/examples/jira-workflow.example.md for the expected structure.
  • Jira MCP tools must be configured (run /redhat-agents.jira-setup first).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
