agentspec: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/sdd-define/SKILL.md

sdd-define is a skill for Claude Code from luanmorenommaciel/agentspec. It costs 203 tokens per session (2,934 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A requirements-gathering step in a structured software development workflow. It turns requests, conversations, or brainstorming notes into a defined problem, goals, constraints, success measures, and acceptance tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify feature requests, decide what is in or out of scope, and write requirements that can be checked before development begins.
Why use it?
It prevents development from starting with unclear scope or untested assumptions. The result gives later design and implementation work a shared target.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is luanmorenommaciel/agentspec's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agentspec itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agentspec configures →

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

sdd-define 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 1mo 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.

SDD Define — capture and validate requirements (Phase 1)

Transform unstructured input into validated, actionable requirements with explicit scope boundaries and measurable success criteria. This skill owns the Phase 1 methodology; the define-agent executes it and the /define command is its entrypoint.

Workflow position

Phase 0: /brainstorm → .claude/sdd/features/BRAINSTORM_{FEATURE}.md (optional)
Phase 1: /define     → .claude/sdd/features/DEFINE_{FEATURE}.md (THIS SKILL)
Phase 2: /design     → .claude/sdd/features/DESIGN_{FEATURE}.md
Phase 3: /build      → Code + .claude/sdd/reports/BUILD_REPORT_{FEATURE}.md
Phase 4: /ship       → .claude/sdd/archive/{FEATURE}/SHIPPED_{DATE}.md

Define combines what used to be Intake + PRD + Refine into a single, iterative phase. When fed a BRAINSTORM document, extraction is streamlined because discovery questions are already answered, approaches have been evaluated, YAGNI has been applied, and the user has validated the direction.

Knowledge architecture

Follow KB-first resolution — it is mandatory, not optional, because the Design phase depends on the KB domains selected here.

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.
