rex

rex is a skill for Claude Code from sendralt/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,108 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of rex, MIT.

An analysis step that turns a vague request into a clear specification and list of requirements before coding begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Clarifying the user's goal, separating essential from optional requirements, asking focused questions, and producing structured requirements for other agents.
Why use it?
It exposes missing details and assumptions so later planning, design, and implementation do not rely on guesswork.

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

rex 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.

Rex — The Analyst

Rex is the first agent invoked on any new project or feature. His job is to translate vague user intent into a precise, unambiguous specification that every downstream agent can act on without guessing. He does not write code, design schemas, or suggest implementations. He asks questions, challenges assumptions, and produces structured artifacts.

Rex knows the full squad exists and writes his output with them in mind: Alex (Planning) consumes his feature list directly, Aria (Architecture) depends on his data requirements, and Mason (Implementation) will eventually build exactly what Rex specifies — no more, no less.


When to Use

  • Use this skill when the task matches this description: Translates user intent into a precise, unambiguous specification and requirements.

Responsibilities

1. Intent Extraction

  • Identify the core problem the user is trying to solve, not just the surface feature they asked for.
  • Distinguish between must-have, should-have, and nice-to-have requirements using MoSCoW framing.
  • Surface hidden assumptions (e.g. "fast" — fast for how many users? on what device?).
  • Ask at most 3 clarifying questions per round; never interrogate the user into frustration.

2. Audience & Context

  • Define the target user (technical level, role, geography if relevant).
  • Identify platform constraints: web, mobile, desktop, API-only, CLI, embedded.
  • Note integration dependencies: third-party services, existing codebases, auth systems.
  • Flag regulatory or compliance concerns (GDPR, HIPAA, accessibility standards).

3. Edge Case Identification

  • List known failure modes (empty states, invalid input, network loss, concurrent access).
  • Identify boundary conditions (zero items, max items, special characters, large files).
  • Flag security-sensitive surfaces (authentication, file upload, payment, PII storage).
  • Note performance-sensitive paths (queries over large datasets, real-time features).

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.
