requirements-planning

requirements-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kid-sid/codex-spellbook. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,928 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A requirements-writing guide for product requirements documents, user stories, acceptance criteria, and definitions of done. It uses INVEST, a checklist for making work independent, useful, estimable, small, and testable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing PRDs, splitting large projects into sprint-sized tasks, defining acceptance criteria, and checking whether requirements are complete.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad ideas into clear development work that a team can estimate, build, and verify.

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

requirements-planning 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 315 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Requirements Planning

A complete reference for writing requirements that are clear, testable, and ready for development — from individual user stories to full PRDs.

When to Activate

  • Writing a PRD, one-pager, or product requirements document
  • Creating user stories or acceptance criteria for a feature
  • Story pointing or sprint planning
  • Breaking down an epic into implementable tasks
  • Defining Done criteria for a story or sprint
  • Reviewing whether requirements are testable and complete

User Stories

INVEST Criteria

Every well-formed user story satisfies all six INVEST properties.

Criteria Meaning Test question
Independent Can be developed without depending on another story "Can this be built and deployed alone?"
Negotiable Details can be discussed, not a rigid contract "Is there flexibility in the how?"
Valuable Delivers value to a user or stakeholder "Who benefits and how?"
Estimable Team can roughly size it "Do we know enough to estimate?"
Small Can be completed in one sprint "Can one developer finish this in ≤5 days?"
Testable Acceptance criteria can be verified "How will we know it's done?"

Story Format

As a <role>,
I want to <action>,
so that <benefit>.

BAD — This is a task disguised as a story:

As a developer,
I want to implement the login endpoint,
so that the API exists.

GOOD — Clear role, action, and benefit:

As a returning user,
I want to log in with my email and password,
so that I can access my account and personal data.

Common Anti-Patterns

  • Story is a task — "Implement the login endpoint" describes technical work, not user value. Reframe around what the user can do.
  • No acceptance criteria — Without AC, there is no shared definition of done. Write AC before any code is written.
  • Story spans multiple sprints — If a story cannot be completed in a single sprint, split it using vertical slicing (see below).
  • Story says how instead of what — Requirements describe the desired outcome, not the implementation. Leave the how to the team.
  • Passive voice hides the actor — "Notifications should be sent" — by whom? to whom? Make the subject explicit.

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.
