intake

intake is a skill for Claude Code from qxbyte/pluginhub. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,538 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A requirements-writing workflow for Specode, a process that turns a software request into requirements, a design, implementation tasks, and acceptance checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the project, locate relevant code, ask clarification questions, and write a requirements.md file with pointers for the design phase.
Why use it?
It organizes project analysis and clarification before design work begins, reducing the chance of building against an incomplete understanding of the request.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is sh ../../scripts/run.sh ../../scripts/resolve_root.py <verb> <args...>.

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

intake 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 24d 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.

intake — specode's requirements-intake engine

Host-tool convention 🔧: tool names in this skill — AskUserQuestion (structured multiple-choice question), the Skill tool (invoke another skill by name) — are written for Claude-family hosts (Claude Code / CodeBuddy), where naming them directly is the most reliable. On a host that lacks one, use its nearest equivalent (a structured-question tool / a skill-invocation mechanism); with no equivalent, fall back to a plain-text question / reading the target skill's SKILL.md directly. The described behavior is what matters, not the exact tool name.

§0 Who you are / when you're invoked

  • The specode orchestration shell invokes you by name (specode:intake) via the Skill tool during the requirements phase. By then <specsRoot> is resolved, <specsRoot>/<slug>/ exists, and the slug is fixed.
  • You are the sole producer of requirements.md — specode no longer forks the requirements phase on "superpowers present or not". superpowers' brainstorming is used only for design from here on; it never moonlights as a requirements writer.
  • What sets you apart from the old "native 2-4 question wizard" is entirely §Step 2 project analysis + §Step 3 analysis-driven clarification: read the real project first to establish a factual baseline, then ask grounded questions — that is specode's own "driving capability", not a blank questionnaire.
  • Your outputs:
    1. <specsRoot>/<slug>/requirements.md — prose requirements plus the hard frontmatter contract (§1);
    2. a block of 参考定位(非事实来源) location pointers handed to the design phase (§5, ephemeral context, never persisted as fact).

§1 Hard constraints 🔒 (never violate)

  1. Frontmatter contract (highest priority — explicitly required by the user): the YAML at the top of requirements.md must carry three fields — spec_id / created_at / project_root. project_root is the single source of truth for downstream distill / task-swarm / retrieval, and it may only be written through the single validated writer resolve_root.py write-project-root (it validates absolute path / dir exists / /Volumes mount); never hand-write that field. You change who generates the body of requirements, and must never break these contract elements.
  2. Prose requirements: requirements.md is a natural-language spec (background / scope in-out / - [ ] AC-N / open questions), no formalized clauses, no checkboxes — the plan lives in tasks.md and the design in design.md; don't cross that boundary. Bug fixes go here as Current / Expected prose; there is no separate bugfix.md.
  3. User-facing output is Chinese — technical names / paths / code identifiers / frontmatter key names stay verbatim.
  4. Never reprint the full document (see §5 reporting discipline).

intake is a skill published in the GitHub repository qxbyte/pluginhub (3 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 2,538 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
