common-software-requirements

common-software-requirements is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. It costs 53 tokens per session (657 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing software requirements documents: clear descriptions of system behavior, interfaces, data rules, quality limits, and testing links.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write system or functional specifications, API and data contracts, error flows, non-functional requirements, migrations, compatibility rules, and verification plans.
Why use it?
It prevents technical requirements from being vague or disconnected from the product goals and acceptance checks.

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

common-software-requirements 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 12d 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.

Software Requirements Expert

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Define the technical "How" with verifiable requirements.

1. SRS/FRS Discovery

  • Confirm linked PRD requirements (REQ-*) and AC IDs.
  • Preserve trace: BRD-OBJ-* -> REQ-* -> AC-* -> SRS-* -> test evidence.
  • Block or route back to PRD (plan-feature) when REQ-* or AC-* inputs are missing; do not infer product scope from code.
  • Define functional flows: trigger, inputs, validations, outputs, errors.
  • For complex flows, use one actor, one goal, one session; split normal, alternate, and exception courses.
  • Define interface contracts: API, events, storage, external integrations.
  • Define NFR thresholds: latency, availability, security, scalability.
  • Define constraints: migration, compatibility, compliance, rollout.

2. Drafting Workflow

  • Load references/srs-template.md.
  • Slug Alignment: Use the same [slug] from the source docs/prd/prd-[slug].md to maintain filename-level traceability.
  • Write one requirement card per statement with stable SRS-* IDs.
  • Map each SRS-* to source PRD REQ-* and verification lane.
  • Map every technical behavior to PRD ACs, test lane, and evidence target.
  • Include statement, priority, status, input/output/error behavior, NFR impact, measurement method, and evidence target.
  • Add outcome report: feature_status, requirement trace, completed/missing evidence, decision needed, and recommended next workflow.
  • Write to docs/srs/srs-[slug].md.

3. Verification Mapping

  • Each SRS-* has test evidence plan (unit/integration/E2E/manual).
  • Failure modes and fallback behavior are explicit.
  • Permissions and privacy controls mapped to requirements.
  • Measurement method exists for each NFR.

Anti-Patterns

  • No mixed requirements and implementation tasks in same statement.
  • No NFR claims without numeric threshold.
  • No interface contract without input/output/error schema.
  • No requirement without trace link to source and verification.
  • No implementation handoff without mapped PRD AC IDs and test lanes.
  • No happy-path-only flow for complex user/system interactions.

Changes

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.
