requirements-decompose

requirements-decompose is a skill for Claude Code from ddddjaak/se-skills. It costs 123 tokens per session (5,471 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for turning mixed source documents—such as a product brief, chip datasheet, industry standard, or customer specification—into one structured system requirements document. It classifies requirements, assigns ownership, and keeps links to their sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting a chip or product project, combining requirements from several sources, making implicit requirements explicit, resolving conflicts, and assigning each requirement to the right engineering area.
Why use it?
Requirements are often scattered, incomplete, or expressed differently across documents. Consolidating them exposes conflicts and gaps before architecture, specifications, and test plans depend on them.

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

requirements-decompose 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 10d 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.

Requirements Decompose

Overview

Raw requirements arrive as a pile of heterogeneous documents — a PRD from marketing, a chip datasheet from the hardware team, an industry standard, a customer specification, a reference design. None of them speak the same language. None of them are structured for engineering traceability. None of them are complete on their own.

This skill transforms that pile into a single, structured system requirements document where every requirement is classified by domain and type, conflicts are resolved, gaps are identified, derived requirements are explicit, and ownership is assigned. Every downstream artifact — architecture, specifications, test plans — depends on this document. The quality of the entire project starts here.

This skill is to SE what stakeholder interviewing is to software development: it confronts ambiguity head-on before any design work begins.

When to Use

  • A new chip or product project kicks off and requirements exist only as a PRD or datasheet
  • Multiple input sources exist (datasheet + standard + customer spec) and need consolidation into one source of truth
  • Requirements are implicit, scattered across documents, or contradict each other
  • You need to assign ownership (HW / SW / System / Mechanical) to each requirement before design begins
  • A downstream skill (architecture-design, spec-authoring) detects incomplete or ambiguous requirements and invokes this skill inline

When NOT to use:

  • Requirements are already fully decomposed and traceable in a structured document with IDs
  • The ask is a single-module change with no new system-level impact
  • Pure information lookup ("what does the datasheet say about register X?")
  • The user explicitly asks for a quick answer without formal decomposition

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.

requirements-decompose is a skill published in the GitHub repository ddddjaak/se-skills (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 5,471 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
