025-quality-attribute-discovery

025-quality-attribute-discovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jabrena/plinth. It costs 78 tokens per session (709 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A requirements-discovery guide identifies and ranks quality attributes, meaning properties such as security, performance, availability, maintainability, scalability, usability, and observability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a prioritized discovery list grounded in the problem, its causes, assumptions, and affected stakeholders.
Why use it?
It helps teams decide which non-functional requirements matter most before choosing an architecture or recording an architecture decision.

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

025-quality-attribute-discovery 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 10d 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.

Quality Attribute Discovery

Guide identification and prioritization of the quality attributes a future solution must satisfy, before architecture and design decisions begin. This is an interactive SKILL.

What is covered in this Skill?

  • Identifying candidate quality attributes (for example performance, security, availability, maintainability, scalability, usability, observability) relevant to the problem
  • Grounding each candidate in evidence from the problem frame, root causes, assumptions, and context map, not a generic checklist
  • Prioritizing candidate quality attributes by stakeholder impact and risk
  • Stopping at a prioritized discovery list rather than selecting or recording an architectural decision
  • Explicitly not producing ADRs or an architecture direction itself

Constraints

Discover and prioritize candidate quality attributes as input to later architecture work; do not make or record the architecture decision here. When this technique is orchestrated by another workflow, the orchestrator owns clarifying-question sequencing; when applied standalone, ask directly.

  • MUST read references/025-quality-attribute-discovery.md before applying Quality Attribute Discovery guidance
  • MUST ground each candidate quality attribute in evidence from the problem frame, root causes, assumptions, or context map
  • MUST prioritize candidate quality attributes by stakeholder impact and risk, not list them unordered
  • MUST stop at a prioritized discovery list without selecting or recording an architecture decision
  • MUST NOT record an architectural decision, ADR, or design direction as part of this skill's output
  • MUST NOT invent a quality attribute or priority when the available content is vague or ambiguous; flag the gap for a clarifying question instead

When to use this skill

  • Discover the quality attributes for this problem
  • Identify non-functional requirements before design begins
  • Prioritize candidate quality attributes for this issue
  • Apply quality attribute discovery before architecture decisions
  • Draft the Quality Attribute Discovery section of a Functional Specification

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.
