groom-panel

groom-panel is a skill for Claude Code from shashankreddy509/claude-tdd-kit. It costs 241 tokens per session (5,079 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A four-role planning process that turns a raw idea into a set of build-ready Jira tickets. A business analyst questions the requirements, while a designer, developer, and tester review the same brief and surface disagreements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a Jira epic and its child tickets after approval, without changing code or Git history.
Why use it?
It exposes missing requirements and conflicts before implementation begins. The process carries unresolved decisions back to the user instead of hiding them in a plan.

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

groom-panel 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 344 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Groom panel — four roles on one idea

The user invoked /groom-panel with: {{args}}

One job: turn a raw idea into a groomed ticket set that the existing plan step can consume. Orchestration bucket. It writes exactly one markdown artifact, and files the groomed set into Jira (one Epic up front, children after an approval gate); it still touches no code and no git. It runs BEFORE the plan gate, so nothing here needs code approval.

Not to be confused with /groom, which reads one existing Jira ticket and judges whether it is ready to estimate. This skill produces the tickets in the first place.

Why four roles and not one strong pass

A single analysis anchors on whoever wrote it. Four independent roles reading the same brief disagree, and the disagreements are the value: a UI need that breaks a test strategy, a data model the designer assumed and the developer did not. Surfacing those before a plan is written is cheaper than discovering them in review. The BA never resolves a real conflict by picking a side — it carries the conflict to the user as a decision.

The panel

Role Reads the brief for Never does
Business analyst (lead) What the user actually wants, what is in and out, what success means Design the UI, choose a library, write tests
UI designer Screens, states, flows, what the user sees when things go wrong Decide scope, pick an architecture
Developer Feasibility, what it touches, the shape of the work, the risky parts Expand scope, design the UI, write code
Tester What could break, what is unverifiable, what needs a device or real data Propose implementations

Steps

0. Resolve each role's prompt — file first, inlined summary as fallback

Before spawning anyone, resolve the prompt for each of the four roles (ba, dev, ui, tester): look for docs/business/<role>.md in the invoking project's cwd. If the file exists, its body is that role's prompt for this run. If docs/business/ is absent, or a given role's file is missing, fall back to that role's inlined summary in this skill (the BA brief-writing/synthesis/resolution instructions in steps 1-5, or the bullet in "Role prompts, in brief" below).
