docs-feature-design

docs-feature-design is a skill for Codex from onatm/agent-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (604 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for documenting a feature’s user-visible behavior, goals, workflows, and business rules without describing its implementation. Feature documentation explains what users can do and what should happen.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update feature documents when user flows, supported users, rules, goals, or expected outcomes change.
Why use it?
It keeps product behavior understandable and separates it from technical design, APIs, and architecture.

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

docs-feature-design 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 — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Docs Feature Design

Maintain docs that explain what a feature does and why it matters, not how it is implemented. A single component or service may support multiple features, so keep technical design out of feature docs and link it separately when needed.

Resource Map

  • Use assets/doc-starters/feature-doc.md when creating or substantially rewriting a doc in docs/features/.
  • Read references/feature-example.md when you need a worked example of the expected behavior-focused depth.

When to Use

  • New feature definition or major feature revision
  • Changes to user-visible behavior, primary flows, goals, rules, or constraints
  • Updates to product scope, supported actors, or expected outcomes
  • Feature docs that should stay understandable without reading implementation details

Do Not Use

  • API, schema, runtime, deployment, or internal control-flow detail that belongs in docs-components-design
  • System topology or domain architecture that belongs in docs-architecture

Workflow

  1. Identify the feature, audience, and existing doc path.
  • Default location is docs/features/
  • Reuse an existing feature doc when one already exists
  1. Capture behavior-level content only.
  • User problem and goals
  • Primary actors and entry points
  • Main flows, states, and business rules
  • User-visible edge cases, constraints, and outcomes
  • Non-Goals, Audience / Actors, and Open Questions are optional — omit them when they don't add value for the feature
  • "User-Facing Behavior" (flat bullet list) is a valid simpler alternative to formal numbered Primary Flows for straightforward features
  1. Move technical detail out.
  • If the draft starts describing APIs, schema, queues, retries, deployment, or internal implementation, link or create the relevant component design doc instead
  1. Keep cross-links aligned.
  • Link to relevant architecture and component docs
  • Do not duplicate their content inside the feature doc
  1. Verify the doc against the current product behavior.
  • The described flows and rules match what the feature actually does
  • The audience can understand the feature without technical context

What ships with it

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.
