requirements

requirements is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from owainlewis/blueprint. It costs 37 tokens per session (594 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A requirements-writing workflow for documenting a product or system's users, outcomes, capabilities, rules, scope, and acceptance conditions. It keeps the result in a REQUIREMENTS.md file for ongoing review.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating or updating product requirements, assigning stable requirement IDs, checking failure cases, and recording unresolved decisions.
Why use it?
It separates product needs from implementation details and exposes missing decisions before architecture or coding begins.

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 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 3d 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 — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Requirements

Create or update root REQUIREMENTS.md. Describe the product, what it does, and its key features. Keep this as a long-running product document. Use /spec for one feature and /architecture for system technical decisions.

Process

  1. Read the request, repository instructions, existing requirements, and relevant evidence. Reuse decisions already made.
  2. Identify the users, problem, desired outcome, scope, and constraints. Separate stated needs from assumptions. Inspect the repo for facts; ask the user for missing product decisions that could change the result.
  3. Write the requirements using the shape below. Give each requirement a stable REQ-n ID. Never reuse or renumber existing IDs.
  4. Check that the requirements agree, cover relevant failure behavior, and can be tested. Record unresolved decisions and whether they block architecture or delivery.
  5. Stop with the document ready for human review. Do not design the implementation, plan tasks, or write code.

Document shape

  • Purpose and users: the problem, who has it, and the outcome they need.
  • User journey: when several capabilities need connecting, show one realistic path from the problem to the desired result.
  • Evidence and assumptions: link supplied research, feedback, or existing behavior that supports the problem. Label consequential assumptions and how to validate them. Do not invent evidence.
  • Key features and scope: the main capabilities, their value, and explicit non-goals.
  • Requirements: observable behavior, business rules, permissions, and user-visible failure and recovery. Define domain concepts when needed.
  • Constraints: required compatibility, security, privacy, operational, and performance limits. Use measurable thresholds when known; mark unknown targets as open decisions.
  • Acceptance: observable conditions for the system capabilities. Leave detailed feature scenarios and checks to its spec.
  • Success measures: how to judge value after delivery, when evidence supports a measure. Keep these separate from implementation acceptance.
  • Open decisions: each missing answer, recommended default when justified, and its effect on further work.

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.
