write-technical-brief

write-technical-brief is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from felipecabargas/gambit. It costs 113 tokens per session (2,555 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An engineering handoff writer that turns a verified feature request into a document for developers. It records scope, technical limits, edge cases, open questions, and places where the feature connects to other systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing a technical brief after a feature request, reviewing an existing specification, and identifying questions engineering needs answered.
Why use it?
It exposes missing decisions and constraints before implementation begins, reducing ambiguity during development.

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

write-technical-brief 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 4d 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.

Technical Brief Writer

When to Use

Use this skill when a feature has been specced and needs to be handed to engineering in a form they can act on. It adds the most value when:

  • After an FR is written and ACs are verified — the feature request describes the problem and the expected outcomes; the technical brief translates that into what engineering needs to start work without ambiguity
  • Before handing to engineering — prevents the classic "this spec has gaps" discovery mid-sprint by surfacing open questions while there is still time to resolve them with the PM
  • When starting a sprint and realising the spec has gaps — if engineering finds unanswered questions during sprint planning, use this skill to structure those gaps and route them back to the PM quickly
  • After a feature request authoring session — run this skill at the end of a write-feature-request session to produce both the FR and the engineering handoff in a single workflow
  • When an existing spec needs a structured review — use this skill to audit a spec written without a template and surface what is missing before engineering reads it

Input Format

The skill works best with a Feature Request markdown document produced by the write-feature-request skill, but accepts any structured or unstructured spec. Provide one of the following:

A Feature Request markdown file (preferred):

Path: ./feature-requests/FR-0042-export-filters.md

A pasted FR description:

Feature: Saved Export Filters
Users need to save their filter configurations so they don't have to re-apply them
every time they export data. Filters include: date range, team, project, status.
ACs:
  - Users can name and save a filter configuration
  - Saved filters appear in a dropdown on the export screen
  - Users can delete saved filters
  - Filters are user-scoped (not shared across the team)

Optionally, existing technical notes or architecture context:

Current export system: server-side rendered, filters applied as query params.
No persistent filter storage exists today. Auth is session-based.
User settings currently stored in users table (PostgreSQL).

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.
