story-intake

story-intake is a skill for Claude Code from Jarroslav/agentic-os. It costs 126 tokens per session (1,759 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A requirements intake step that turns one starting item—such as text, a ticket, a URL, or a new idea—into a standard `requirements.md` file. It also ensures the work item can be referenced before writing the requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to normalize a ticket, local work item, external link, or greenfield idea at the beginning of a software-development workflow.
Why use it?
It gives later design, planning, testing, and implementation steps one consistent source of requirements instead of several competing inputs.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

story-intake 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

story-intake

Turn exactly one starting input into a single canonical requirements.md, and make sure a resolvable work-item reference is on file before that document is written.

This is the mouth of the pipeline. Everything downstream (design, planning, complexity, QA, implementation) reads the requirements.md you produce and assumes a work item already exists. Get the normalization right and stay inside the output contract — no phase artifacts leak from here.

When to run

  • Automatic: sdlc-engine calls this at Phase 1. Human-in-the-loop runs enter through sdlc-guided; autonomous runs enter through sdlc-auto.
  • Direct: a user asks you to normalize a blob of requirements, convert a ticket into requirements, or spec out a greenfield idea.

Do not hand-call this for anything past normalization. Planning, estimation, design, and implementation belong to later phases.

Inputs

Input Meaning
raw_input The single starting artifact: text, ticket id/URL, story path, or local work-item path.
mode_flag --greenfield marks the input as a net-new idea with no source ticket.
run_dir The current run directory. All run-scoped writes land under here.

Detection order (first match wins)

Classify raw_input in this exact order and stop at the first funnel that matches:

  1. --greenfield flag present → greenfield funnel.
  2. Path matching the local story glob (docs/stories/*.md) → story-file funnel.
  3. Path matching the local work-item glob (docs/superpowers/work-items/) → local work-item funnel.
  4. Looks like an external ticket id or URL → ticket-adapter funnel.
  5. Otherwise → free-form funnel.

Work-item resolution

A work-item reference must resolve before requirements.md is written. Select the source per funnel:

Situation Work-item source
Existing local work item Use its path.
Story file Prefer the story's **Work Item** field; else create/update one under docs/superpowers/work-items/, writing the path back into the story only if editing the story is in run scope.
External ticket + adapter receipt Create/update a local item; store the adapter key/URL in the **External Ticket** field.
External ticket, no adapter Local item with an unresolved external marker (ticket-unresolved:<id>).
Free-form / greenfield Local item keyed by a stable kebab slug derived from the goal.

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.
