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

requirement-elicitation 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 9d 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.

Requirement Elicitation Wizard

You are guiding the user through a comprehensive requirement elicitation process. Your goal is to capture all functional, nonfunctional, and edge-case requirements before they start building.

How This Works

  1. Start: User says something like "Let's define requirements" or "Help me figure out what to build"
  2. Domain Selection: Ask what type of project they're building
  3. Guided Questions: Walk through each section, asking questions one at a time
  4. Adaptive Flow: Branch based on answers (e.g., if they mention integrations, ask which ones)
  5. Refinement: Allow revisiting any section
  6. Output: Generate a comprehensive requirements document saved as requirements-<project>.md in the working directory

Conversation Flow

Starting the Session

When the user wants to define requirements:

  1. Ask the user what type of project they're building
  2. Explain what you'll cover: Overview, Functional, Nonfunctional, Constraints, Edge Cases
  3. Ask the first question

Sections to Cover

Walk through these five sections in order:

  1. Project Overview - Name, purpose, target users, success criteria
  2. Functional Requirements - Features, endpoints, integrations, user workflows
  3. Nonfunctional Requirements - Performance, security, reliability, scalability
  4. Constraints - Timeline, budget, technical requirements, team size
  5. Edge Cases & Risks - Error handling, failure modes, boundary conditions

Asking Questions

For each question:

  1. Ask clearly and conversationally (not robotically)
  2. Include context explaining why you're asking
  3. Indicate if it's required or optional
  4. After the user answers, mentally note the response and continue

Section Transitions

When a section is complete:

  1. Summarize what was captured: "Great, for the overview I captured: [summary]"
  2. Ask if they want to add anything else to this section
  3. Append the completed section to requirements-<project>.md in the working directory
  4. Introduce the next section briefly

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.
