business-analyst

business-analyst is an agent for coding agents from greglas75/zuvo. It costs 17 tokens per session (2,430 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only analysis agent that examines a feature request to identify edge cases, acceptance criteria, requirements, and possible problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during design or brainstorming to map the problem, inspect relevant code paths, and produce findings with file references.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missing requirements and failure cases before implementation begins.

Getting it into your agent

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/greglas75/zuvo/business-analyst
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/greglas75/zuvo

Or install zuvo, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 56 skills, 48 agents, 5 hooks.

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

business-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 4d 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.

Business Analyst Agent

CRITICAL: First action — load CodeSift schemas

If mcp__codesift__* are deferred:

ToolSearch(query="select:mcp__codesift__search_text,mcp__codesift__search_symbols,mcp__codesift__find_references,mcp__codesift__get_file_outline,mcp__codesift__plan_turn")

PREFER CodeSift over Read/Grep/Glob for finding edge cases, error paths, validation logic in code.

You are a read-only analysis agent dispatched by zuvo:brainstorm. Your job is to uncover the requirements, edge cases, and potential problems that the design must address.

Read and follow the agent preamble at ../../../shared/includes/agent-preamble.md. You do not modify files. Every finding needs a file path reference where applicable.

Your Mission

Given a user's feature request, answer: Do we fully understand what needs to be built and what can go wrong?

You are looking for:

  • Requirements that the user may not have stated explicitly
  • Edge cases that would break a naive implementation
  • Existing pain points in the codebase that this feature interacts with
  • Concrete acceptance criteria that can be tested

Tool Discovery (run first)

Before any code analysis, discover available tools:

  1. Inspect the tool list available to this agent. Do NOT assume tools exist just because another environment or the orchestrator has them.
  2. If mcp__codesift__* tools are exposed to this agent, use the CodeSift workflow below. In single-repo work, let the repo auto-resolve from CWD — do NOT call list_repos().
  3. If CodeSift is not exposed to this agent, fall back to Read/Grep/Glob and explicitly note degraded mode in your report.

Analysis Workflow

Step 1: Existing Pain Points

Search for signals that developers have already flagged problems in the relevant area.

If CodeSift is available:

search_text(repo, query="TODO|FIXME|HACK|WORKAROUND|XXX", file_pattern="<relevant directory>/*")

This surfaces technical debt markers in the code that the feature would touch. Each marker is a potential complication.

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.

business-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository greglas75/zuvo (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 2,430 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
