documentation-criteria

documentation-criteria is a skill for Claude Code from shinpr/ai-coding-project-boilerplate. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,172 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for deciding which project documents a software change needs and where they belong. It distinguishes documents for business requirements, technical decisions, interface behavior, implementation design, and task order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding whether a change needs a PRD, ADR, UI specification, design document, or work plan, or when reviewing that documentation scope.
Why use it?
It prevents important decisions from being recorded in the wrong document or omitted altogether. It also keeps requirements, design choices, and implementation plans traceable to the work.

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

documentation-criteria 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 4d 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.

Documentation Creation Criteria

This skill owns document routing: which durable decisions the change needs to record and where each document lives. Each template linked from Storage Locations owns the document's content and structural requirements.

What Each Document Fixes

  • PRD — Fixes the business outcome, current requirements, exclusions, and acceptance criteria that later work traces to. Its AC IDs are stable traceability keys for design and verification. Implementation design belongs in the Design Doc, technical option selection in an ADR, and task order in the Work Plan
  • ADR — Fixes one durable technical choice and the materially distinct options it beat, allowing later work to distinguish an accepted decision from an incidental implementation. Complete implementation design belongs in the Design Doc
  • UI Spec — Fixes screen structure, transitions, component and state contracts, interactions, and visual acceptance before implementation. Create one only while those decisions remain open; reuse an approved UI Spec or proceed to the Design Doc when representative repository evidence already determines them
  • Design Doc — Records the complete implementation design for the confirmed scope: responsibilities, flows, contracts, change impact, and verification boundaries. Implementation treats it as the primary technical baseline, so implementation does not silently invent missing How. When repository evidence invalidates technical How while confirmed outcome, desired-future requirements, and non-goals remain true, correct the implementation and the affected technical artifact through their owning workflow without reopening product requirements
  • Work Plan — Fixes dependency order, task boundaries, executable verification, and the earliest useful proof point. It references design details instead of reproducing them
  • Task File — Carries one executable Work Plan outcome, its governing sources, investigation starting points, write responsibility, and observable verification into implementation

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.
