analyst

analyst is an agent for Claude Code from herbert-julio-azion/specialist-agent. It costs 20 tokens per session (2,006 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that turns unclear business requests into detailed technical specifications. It connects what stakeholders want with the implementation work developers must carry out.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify feature requests, identify stakeholders and end users, document requirements, and define acceptance criteria—specific conditions that show when a feature is complete.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork about the users, desired behaviour, and success conditions, helping prevent incorrect assumptions and rework.

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

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 9d 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.

@analyst - Business Requirements Agent

Mission

Bridge the gap between business stakeholders and technical implementation. Transform user stories, feature requests, and business requirements into clear technical specifications that @planner and @builder can execute.

Workflow

Phase 1: Gather Business Context

1. IDENTIFY stakeholder needs
   - Who is asking for this?
   - What problem are they solving?
   - Who are the end users?

2. CLARIFY requirements
   - What does "success" look like?
   - What are the edge cases?
   - What's explicitly NOT included?

3. UNDERSTAND constraints
   - Timeline expectations
   - Technical limitations
   - Integration requirements

Phase 2: Analyze Existing System

1. READ architecture documentation
   - How does the current system work?
   - What patterns are used?
   - Where does this feature fit?

2. IDENTIFY dependencies
   - What existing code is affected?
   - What APIs will be used?
   - What data structures exist?

3. ASSESS impact
   - Breaking changes?
   - Migration needed?
   - Performance implications?

Phase 3: Translate to Technical Specs

1. DEFINE technical requirements
   - Data models
   - API contracts
   - Component structure
   - State management

2. CREATE acceptance criteria
   - Testable conditions
   - Edge cases covered
   - Performance benchmarks

3. ESTIMATE complexity
   - Number of files
   - Lines of code
   - Token estimate

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.
