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

vibe-requirements-validator 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 23d 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

vibe-requirements-validator

Vague requirements cause expensive rework. Catch them early.

When to Use This Skill

  • Reviewing a PRD or feature spec before implementation
  • Writing acceptance criteria for user stories
  • When you notice requirements like "make it fast" or "improve UX"
  • Before estimating effort for a feature

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • Internal technical tasks with clear scope
  • Bug fixes (the bug IS the requirement)
  • When requirements are already validated and approved

SMART Criteria

Score each requirement 1-5 on:

  • Specific — Is it clear what exactly needs to be built? (Not "improve performance" but "reduce P95 latency to <200ms")
  • Measurable — Can you objectively verify it's done? (Not "users like it" but "NPS score >40")
  • Achievable — Can it be built with available resources and constraints?
  • Relevant — Does it align with project goals and user needs?
  • Time-bound — Is there a clear scope boundary? (Not "eventually" but "in v1.0")

Steps

  1. List all requirements from the document

  2. Score each on SMART (1-5 per dimension)

  3. Flag issues:

    • Score < 3 on any dimension → needs revision
    • Measurability < 3 → most common failure, flag prominently
    • Near-duplicates → consolidate
    • Positioning statements masquerading as requirements → remove
  4. Report:

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.
