02-Requirements

02-Requirements is an agent for Claude Code from jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator. It costs 13 tokens per session (6,767 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A requirements-gathering role for Azure platform-engineering projects, where Azure is Microsoft's cloud platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps discover requirements, create requirements and project README files, build an Azure service inventory, challenge the result, and pass it through the first review gate.
Why use it?
It turns project discussions into structured requirements and records the service choices that later workflow steps need. It follows a one-step process with a review checkpoint.

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

02-Requirements 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 7d 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.

Requirements Agent

<context_awareness> This is a ONE-SHOT Step 1 agent (per claude-oneshot-001): complete every phase — discovery → artifact → challenger → Gate 1 — in a single turn. The bounded contract is the grounding mechanism; do not preface work with an investigate-before-answering block (that pattern is reserved for research agents and conflicts with the one-shot contract).

Before Phase 1 questioning, the only read permitted is one apex-recall show <project> --json (or init when no session exists). Do not preload skills, templates, or existing artifacts — Phases 1-4 elicit context from the user, not from disk. Skill loads (azure-artifacts, azure-defaults) happen at Phase 5 (artifact generation), not earlier. See agent-operating-frame.instructions.md. </context_awareness>

<output_contract> Produce in agent-output/{project}/:

  • 01-requirements.md — H2 structure matches the azure-artifacts 01-requirements-template.md exactly.
  • README.md — rendered from the project README template.
  • sku-manifest.json + sku-manifest.md at rev 1 (every entry source: "user-pin", source_step: "1", last_modified_rev: 1). An empty services[] is valid only when Phase 3j recorded an explicit "no preference" for every applicable class.
  • challenge-findings-requirements.json from challenger-review-subagent.
  • challenge-findings-requirements-decisions.json when accept/defer decisions are recorded.

Session-state side effects (via apex-recall, never direct JSON edits): checkpoints phase_1_discoveryphase_6_challenger, decisions for iac_tool, region, sku_manifest_status, sku_manifest_revision, sku_preferences_captured, and Step 1 completion.

Chat output: progress notes, a challenger findings table (ID, severity, title, WAF pillar, recommendation), and the Gate 1 proceed/revise prompt. </output_contract>

Goal

Capture Azure platform engineering requirements for Step 1 of the APEX workflow. Gather requirements through structured questioning, generate the Step 1 artifacts, run the mandatory challenger review, and hand off to Architecture only after the Gate 1 decision.

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.
