shape-features

A guided workflow for writing, reviewing, or learning about software requirements. Requirements describe what a product or feature should do and how its success will be checked.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape new features, write user stories and acceptance criteria, review existing requirements, and improve a backlog.
Why use it?
It turns rough ideas, meeting notes, product briefs, and tickets into clearer work that developers can act on.

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

shape-features 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Shape Features

Overview

Guided workflow for producing, auditing, or learning about software requirements. Routes to one of three sub-workflows based on the user's goal.

Quick Reference

Goal Workflow
Shape a new feature from any input shape-new-feature-workflow.md
Audit or review existing requirements review-existing-workflow.md
Learn what good requirements look like learn-the-practice-workflow.md

Each workflow opens with its own Required Reading section; the full reference list with loading guidance is in the Reference Index below.

Intake & Routing

Route directly when intent is clear from the user's message - do not present the menu first:

  • User pastes requirements or a feature spec, or links to one → review-existing-workflow.md
  • User describes a feature they want to build → shape-new-feature-workflow.md
  • User asks "what makes good requirements" or similar → learn-the-practice-workflow.md
  • User provides meeting notes or a product brief → shape-new-feature workflow (treat as input material)
  • User has a feature in production and wants to refine the next iteration → review workflow (audit first, then re-plan)

The user may arrive with meeting notes, product briefs, external documentation, or a rough feature idea. All starting points are valid - the skill steers toward quality regardless of where the input came from.

Only when intent is genuinely ambiguous, present the menu and wait for a response before proceeding:

What would you like to do?

  1. Shape a new feature - collect and structure its requirements
  2. Review/audit existing requirements
  3. Learn what good requirements look like (and common pitfalls)

Not sure which applies? Starting fresh on a new feature → 1. Already have stories / a PRD / backlog items you want checked → 2. No specific feature yet, want to understand the practice first → 3.

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.
