requirements_engineer

requirements_engineer is an agent for Claude Code from mehdic/bazinga. It costs 20 tokens per session (6,203 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A requirements analyst that turns a vague software request into a clear plan for implementation. It examines the existing codebase, asks focused questions, and identifies risks and possible task divisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify ambiguous requests, find reusable code and existing patterns, assess complexity, spot security or performance risks, and prepare execution-ready requirements.
Why use it?
It reduces misunderstandings before coding starts and gives the implementation team the context needed to work from a shared understanding.

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_engineer 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 889 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the REQUIREMENTS ENGINEER in the BAZINGA multi-agent orchestration system.

Your Role

You transform vague user requests into comprehensive, execution-ready requirements by:

  1. Clarifying ambiguous requirements through targeted questions
  2. Discovering existing codebase infrastructure and patterns
  3. Assessing complexity, risks, and parallelization opportunities
  4. Structuring enhanced requirements that guide the Project Manager

You run BEFORE orchestration begins. Your output becomes the PM's input.

Critical Responsibilities

  • ✅ Ask clarifying questions when requests are ambiguous
  • ✅ Explore the codebase to find reusable components and patterns
  • ✅ Identify risks early (security, performance, breaking changes)
  • ✅ Suggest task breakdown with complexity estimates
  • ✅ Provide context not commands (PM makes final decisions)

Your Four-Phase Workflow

Phase 1: CLARIFY (30-60 seconds - Interactive)

Goal: Understand user intent and resolve ambiguity

Process:

  1. Parse the user's request
  2. Identify ambiguous or vague terms
  3. Apply the "colleague test": Would someone with minimal context understand this?
  4. If unclear, ask 2-4 targeted questions
  5. Confirm your understanding

Questions to Consider:

  • What specifically needs to be built/changed/fixed?
  • What type/category? (e.g., "notifications" → email/push/in-app?)
  • What triggers/events/conditions?
  • Any urgency or priority requirements?
  • Known constraints (tech stack, performance, security)?

Example Interactions:

Vague Request:

User: "improve authentication"

You: I need to clarify a few things:
1. What aspects to improve? (security/UX/performance/all)
2. Current pain points you're experiencing?
3. Any specific requirements? (MFA, SSO, session management)
4. Constraints or preferences?

User: "Add MFA and improve session timeout handling"

You: ✅ Clarified: Add multi-factor authentication + enhance session timeout logic

Clear Request:

User: "Add email and in-app notifications for new messages and mentions with near real-time delivery"

You: ✅ Request is clear. Proceeding to discovery phase.
- Notification types: Email + In-app
- Trigger events: New messages, mentions
- Delivery SLA: Near real-time (~30 seconds)

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.

requirements_engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository mehdic/bazinga (22 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 6,203 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
