requirement-convergence

requirement-convergence is a skill for Claude Code from shinpr/ai-coding-project-boilerplate. It costs 67 tokens per session (937 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for turning a broad or unclear change request into one observable outcome, a list of requirements, explicit exclusions, and a rough cost range. It separates what should be achieved from suggestions about how to achieve it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a new requirement enters a workflow, when deciding what is out of scope, or when judging how far a change should go and whether it is worth doing.
Why use it?
It reduces scope creep and prevents teams from building unnecessary work or solving the wrong problem. It also makes unresolved decisions and unknowns visible before design starts.

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

requirement-convergence 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.

Requirement Convergence

Purpose

Requirements arrive bloated, ambiguous, or aimed at the wrong outcome. A capable model reconciles all three into a coherent plan and builds it faithfully — delivering exactly what was asked for when what was asked for was wrong.

This skill converges what to build. How to build it, and which documents the change requires, are settled after the what is.

Convergence Fields

Field Pass condition
outcome One observable result. A requirement that does not serve it is excess.
requirements[] Every build-relevant item labeled current-state or desired-future.
nonGoals[] Authored by the user, or the user stated there are none.
cost A band with the structural evidence that places it, plus the unknowns that remain.

cost is a rough band, not the effort estimate a work plan schedules against; requirements cannot support person-days. Its unknowns carry more decision weight than its size.

Keep request signals classified as evaluation requests, speculative ideas, or prescribed mechanisms in active convergence context as judgment-only candidates. requirements[] and durable documents receive a candidate only after explicit user confirmation.

Each field carries its own readiness label: ready, weak, or weak-but-explicit (weak, and the user agreed to leave it unresolved). Only the user sets weak-but-explicit. Requirements are converged when every applicable field is ready or weak-but-explicit.

Judgment rules per field: references/criteria.md.

Hearing Protocol

Use the available scope and cost evidence for both elicitation and judgment, then ask only for product choices that the repository cannot answer. Repeat scope and cost analysis only when an answer changes the analysis target or required scope evidence.

Register these steps before starting and record each step's evidence as it completes:

Step Action Completion evidence
1 State the available scope facts, then separately what they imply for the requirement Facts listed with their analysis evidence
2 Ask about the fields below ready, at most two questions per message One question per field below ready
3 Record each answer as that field's value The value is the option the user selected or the wording the user supplied
4 Re-ask once when a recorded value still fails its pass condition, then mark the field weak-but-explicit when the user agrees to leave the second answer as it stands Two recorded answers, or the user's agreement to stop
5 Judge each field against its pass condition and finalize the completed record A convergence record with every field labeled

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.
