intent-driven-development

intent-driven-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gongyijie85/dsh-ecc. It costs 98 tokens per session (3,400 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of intent-driven-development, MIT.

A planning workflow that turns unclear or high-risk product and engineering changes into specific acceptance criteria. Acceptance criteria are conditions that show whether the finished work is correct.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify features, define implementation requirements, prepare handoffs, and choose verification methods suited to the work's risk.
Why use it?
It exposes missing decisions and makes ambiguous work testable before implementation, especially for security, data, migration, integration, and compliance changes.

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

intent-driven-development 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 7d 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.

Intent-Driven Development

Produce useful acceptance criteria without turning specification into ceremony. Inspect available context first, expose genuine ambiguity, and choose verification methods that fit the work and its risk.

When to Activate

  • User asks to clarify a feature, define acceptance criteria, or de-risk a change before implementation
  • Request touches security, authentication, persistent data, migrations, external APIs, or compliance
  • User wants to prepare a handoff artifact for another agent or team
  • Request is ambiguous enough that the expected outcome is not yet observable or testable
  • User explicitly invokes this skill with /intent-driven-development

Do not activate for trivial edits, straightforward one-line fixes, active debugging sessions, code review requests, or implementation requests whose acceptance conditions are already clear.

How It Works

  1. Inspect context first — reads the repository, docs, schemas, and test infrastructure for technical facts before asking any question, while treating product/business constraints as something only the user or a product artifact can supply
  2. Choose depth — selects Quick Capture (3-7 criteria, low/moderate risk) or Full Acceptance Brief (security, data, migration, cross-system changes) based on the risk profile
  3. Ask minimally — only asks questions whose answers cannot be inferred and that materially change scope or behavior
  4. Write observable criteria — each AC-NNN describes a starting condition, trigger, expected outcome, prohibited side effect, verification method, and priority; no vague words like "correctly" or "securely" without evidence
  5. Proceed or hand off — for clear requests with no blocking risks, records criteria and continues; for risky changes, presents blockers and waits for confirmation
  6. Handle revision — if an AC fails mid-implementation due to architectural constraints, marks it [revised], updates scope or verification method, increments the revision number, and re-presents only the changed criteria

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.
