musubix-ears-validation

musubix-ears-validation is a skill for Claude Code from nahisaho/katashiro. It costs 38 tokens per session (978 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing and checking requirements in EARS (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax), a set of sentence patterns for describing system behavior clearly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or validate requirements such as what a system must always do, how it should respond to an event, or what it must prevent.
Why use it?
It turns vague requirements into consistent statements about normal behavior, events, states, unwanted behavior, and optional conditions.

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

musubix-ears-validation 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 11d 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.

MUSUBIX EARS Validation Skill

This skill helps you create and validate requirements using EARS (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax) format.

EARS Pattern Reference

1. Ubiquitous Pattern

Use for: Requirements that must always be satisfied.

Syntax:

THE [system name] SHALL [requirement]

Example:

THE AuthService SHALL authenticate users with valid credentials.

2. Event-Driven Pattern

Use for: Requirements triggered by specific events.

Syntax:

WHEN [trigger event], THE [system name] SHALL [response]

Example:

WHEN a user submits login credentials, THE AuthService SHALL validate the credentials within 2 seconds.

3. State-Driven Pattern

Use for: Requirements that apply while in a specific state.

Syntax:

WHILE [system state], THE [system name] SHALL [behavior]

Example:

WHILE the system is in maintenance mode, THE API SHALL return 503 Service Unavailable.

4. Unwanted Behavior Pattern

Use for: Behaviors that must be prevented.

Syntax:

THE [system name] SHALL NOT [unwanted behavior]

Example:

THE AuthService SHALL NOT store passwords in plain text.

5. Optional Pattern

Use for: Conditional requirements.

Syntax:

IF [condition], THEN THE [system name] SHALL [response]

Example:

IF two-factor authentication is enabled, THEN THE AuthService SHALL require a verification code.

Validation Checklist

When validating EARS requirements, check:

  • Pattern Compliance: Does it follow one of the 5 EARS patterns?
  • System Name: Is the system/component clearly identified?
  • SHALL Keyword: Is "SHALL" used for mandatory requirements?
  • Measurable: Is the requirement testable and measurable?
  • Atomic: Does it describe a single requirement?
  • No Ambiguity: Is the language clear and unambiguous?

CLI Commands

# Validate EARS syntax
npx musubix requirements validate <file>

# Convert natural language to EARS
npx musubix requirements analyze <file>

# Map to ontology
npx musubix requirements map <file>

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.
