spec-requirements

spec-requirements is a command for Claude Code from gotalab/cc-sdd. It costs 6 tokens per session (428 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that turns an initialized feature specification into a detailed requirements document. It uses EARS, a structured way to describe how software should behave in different situations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after starting a specification to generate or update its requirements, then review the resulting requirements file.
Why use it?
It gives a feature a clear, reviewable set of expected behaviours before design and implementation begin.

About the project

cc-sdd is a spec-driven development workflow for coding agents: it turns approved software specifications into requirements, designs, task plans, and extended autonomous implementation. Developers use it across several AI coding agents, with independent review and task-level continuation for long-running work. The catalogue entries provide commands, skills, agents, and instructions for using this workflow.

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

spec-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.

What it actually says

Requirements Generation

Parse Arguments

  • Feature name: $1

Validate

Check that spec has been initialized:

  • Verify {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/ exists
  • Verify {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/spec.json exists

If validation fails, inform user to run /kiro:spec-init first.

Invoke Subagent

Delegate requirements generation to spec-requirements-agent:

Use the Task tool to invoke the Subagent with file path patterns:

Task(
  subagent_type="spec-requirements-agent",
  description="Generate EARS requirements",
  prompt="""
Feature: $1
Spec directory: {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/

File patterns to read:
- {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/spec.json
- {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/requirements.md
- {{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/*.md
- {{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/rules/ears-format.md
- {{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/specs/requirements.md

Mode: generate
"""
)

Display Result

Show Subagent summary to user, then provide next step guidance:

Next Phase: Design Generation

If Requirements Approved:

  • Review generated requirements at {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/requirements.md
  • Optional Gap Analysis (for existing codebases):
    • Run /kiro:validate-gap $1 to analyze implementation gap with current code
    • Identifies existing components, integration points, and implementation strategy
    • Recommended for brownfield projects; skip for greenfield
  • Then /kiro:spec-design $1 [-y] to proceed to design phase

If Modifications Needed:

  • Provide feedback and re-run /kiro:spec-requirements $1

Note: Approval is mandatory before proceeding to design phase.

Changes

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.
