intake

intake is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dsnger/dev-workflow-kit. It costs 73 tokens per session (2,886 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow skill for turning a raw idea, voice transcript, or backlog line into a reviewable story document before solution design begins. It can also record changes to an already approved story.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a specification workflow, or when an approved story must be revised after a decision changes.
Why use it?
It separates describing what should change and why from deciding how to build it, while recording project constraints from AGENTS.md when available.

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

intake 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 5d 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.

Overview

The front door of the spec-driven workflow. A raw idea or voice transcript goes in; a reviewable story artifact comes out at docs/superpowers/stories/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-story.md and feeds superpowers:brainstorming as its input document. This standardizes an entrance that otherwise varies by whoever writes the prompt.

intake captures WHAT and WHY, never HOW — designing the solution is brainstorming's job. That boundary governs every story section except Section 4 (Affected AGENTS.md invariants), which quotes existing project invariants verbatim as constraints the future solution must respect. Naming a guardrail the solution has to honor is not designing it — so "auth via the project's requireAuth barrier" belongs in Section 4, while "add a requireAuth call to the new handler" is a HOW leak anywhere else.

Target model: Claude via Claude Code. This skill is a prompt artifact and follows the checklist in docs/prompt-standards.md.

Requires AGENTS.md (the project's invariants file) — the capture route's invariant-tagging step greps it, and story Section 4 quotes what it finds. If the repo has none, say so and offer /dev-workflow:workflow-init, which walks you through writing one.

Choose the route first

intake has two routes that share no steps, so choose one before doing anything else:

The request Route Read in full before its first step
A raw idea or voice transcript arrives and needs to enter the workflow, before any brainstorming; or a backlog line needs to become a reviewable story before design starts Capture a new story (the Flow) capture-new-story.md
An approved story or spec must change after a human decided to change it — narrowed, redirected, or corrected for a gap found later Amend an approved story or spec amend-approved-artifact.md

An item that already has an approved story takes the amendment route, however the request is worded: an approved artifact changes only through the amendment route, never through a new story. Designing a solution is neither route — that is superpowers:brainstorming.

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.

intake is a skill published in the GitHub repository dsnger/dev-workflow-kit (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 2,886 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-12.
