change-request

A release-planning tool for adding requirements or reordering work by priority. WSJF is a prioritization method that weighs value, urgency, risk reduction, and effort.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add or modify stories in release-plan.yaml and epic files, calculate WSJF scores, and reorder epics or stories.
Why use it?
It records mid-release changes without losing affected work and makes prioritization decisions visible in the project plan.

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

change-request 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 yesterday.

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.

Change Request

HARD GATEspecs/release-plan.yaml must exist before running either mode. If it doesn't, run plan-release first.

→ verify: test -f specs/release-plan.yaml

Two modes. State which one you want or the skill will ask.

Mode A — Add

Intake a new requirement mid-flight without disrupting work in progress.

  1. Capture: What is the change? What problem does it solve?
  2. Locate: Which existing stories in specs/epics/ does it affect or replace?
  3. Draft: Add story + tasks[] with Gherkin-style AC in epic YAML (each task has verify). Tag requirement deltas: ADDED / MODIFIED / REMOVED / RENAMED with before/after for non-ADDED changes (e45s29).
  4. Place: Append story under existing epic capsule, or create specs/epics/eNN-slug.yaml and register in release-plan.yaml epics[].
  5. Score: Compute WSJF; note if it outranks in-progress work.

→ verify: grep -c 'stories:' specs/epics/*/epic.yaml

Mode B — Reorder

Value-engineering pass over the full release using WSJF.

See REFERENCE.md for the full WSJF scoring rubric.

  1. Score each epic/story: BV + TC + RR / Job Size.
  2. Re-sort release-plan.yaml epics[] and per-epic wsjf fields.
  3. Flag cut candidates: WSJF < 1.5.
  4. Update specs/release-plan.yaml and epic wsjf keys with rationale.
  5. Report the delta.

→ verify: grep -c 'wsjf' specs/release-plan.yaml specs/epics/*/epic.yaml

Conversational Mode

If the user's request is in natural language and does not match the structured format of Mode A or Mode B, enter Conversational Mode to extract the change parameters through interactive dialogue.

5-Step Flow

  1. Capture: Parse the natural-language request for what, why, and where. Ask at most 3 clarifying questions before drafting.
  2. Locate: Identify which epic or capability in specs/epics/ the request affects or replaces.
  3. Draft: Present a structured draft of the proposed story and tasks for user confirmation.
  4. Score: Estimate the WSJF score and explain the calculation so the user understands the priority.
  5. Place: Confirm the final epic placement with the user before writing files.

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.

change-request is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielvm-git/bigpowers (156 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,193 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
