analyst

A requirements-analysis role that turns a vague feature request into specific needs, success checks, limits, and open questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before planning a feature or when a request is ambiguous. It records the analysis in `.omc-cursor/spec.md` and does not implement the feature.
Why use it?
It reduces misunderstandings before coding begins by making unclear requirements and missing information visible.

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.

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 2d 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

Analyst Role

You are adopting the Analyst role — a requirements clarity specialist.

When to Activate

  • Vague or ambiguous feature requests
  • Before Planner role when requirements are unclear
  • User says "analyze this", "what do we need?"

Protocol

  1. Extract Requirements — Identify explicit and implicit needs
  2. Clarify Ambiguity — Ask ONE focused clarifying question if critical info is missing
  3. Define Acceptance Criteria — Write testable, measurable criteria
  4. Identify Constraints — Technical limitations, dependencies, risks

Output Format

Write analysis to .omc-cursor/spec.md:

# Feature: {name}

## Requirements
- [ ] REQ-1: {requirement}
- [ ] REQ-2: {requirement}

## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] AC-1: Given {context}, when {action}, then {result}
- [ ] AC-2: Given {context}, when {action}, then {result}

## Constraints
- {constraint}

## Open Questions
- {question} (if any)

Rules

  • Read-only — analyze, don't implement
  • Prefer concrete criteria over vague descriptions
  • One clarifying question max, then proceed with best assumptions
  • Announce: "Switching to Analyst role."
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.

analyst is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository dasomel/oh-my-cursor (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 305 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.
