story-readiness is a skill for Claude Code from cenconq25/claude-code-app-studio. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,522 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-development checklist that decides whether a user story contains enough information to implement safely. A user story is a small, defined piece of product work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a story and receive a READY, NEEDS WORK, or BLOCKED verdict before implementation.
Why use it?
It exposes missing requirements, design details, architecture references, or unclear acceptance criteria before coding starts.

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

story-readiness 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 6d 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 — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Story Readiness

Fast pre-flight check on a story. Catches the gaps that would make /dev-story produce wrong code: missing TR-ID, Proposed ADR, missing UX spec for UI stories, ambiguous acceptance criteria.

Read-only. Outputs a verdict + checklist.


Purpose / When to Run

Run when:

  • A story has just been created and the engineer is about to start
  • A story sat in the backlog and might have stale references
  • The user types /story-readiness <path> or "is this story ready"

Inputs

  • Path to the story file (required)

Outputs

  • A printed verdict: READY, NEEDS WORK, or BLOCKED
  • A checklist showing each check's status

Phase 1: Resolve Path

If a slug is passed, glob production/epics/*/story-*-<slug>.md and find it. If multiple match, ask which.

If no argument, list stories with Status: Ready from production/epics/*/story-*.md and ask.


Phase 2: Read

  • The story file
  • The PRD it references (just enough to verify the TR-ID exists)
  • The governing ADR (verify Status)
  • The control manifest (verify Manifest Version is current)
  • The UX spec (UI stories only)

Phase 3: Run Checks

Each check yields PASS / WARN / FAIL.

3a: Header completeness

  • Status line present and one of Ready / In Progress / Blocked / Complete — FAIL otherwise
  • Type line present — FAIL if missing
  • Manifest Version line present — WARN if missing, FAIL if older than 30 days from today (probably stale)
  • Layer line present — WARN if missing

3b: Context section

  • PRD path resolves to an existing file — FAIL otherwise
  • TR-ID is referenced and is in the format TR-<system>-NNN — FAIL if malformed
  • TR-ID exists in tr-registry.yaml (if registry exists) or in the referenced PRD — WARN if not found
  • Governing ADR path resolves to an existing file — FAIL otherwise
  • Governing ADR has Status: Accepted — FAIL if Proposed (recommend Status: Blocked)
  • Framework risk recorded — WARN if missing
  • Verification required field has content (or explicit "None") — WARN if empty

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.
