update-reqs

update-reqs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TalonT-Org/AutoSkillit. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,094 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Functional requirement documents describe what software must do in plain, implementation-independent terms. They are stored in docs/requirements/.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update requirement documents for system behavior, tool contracts, process handling, data flow, and cross-cutting rules.
Why use it?
They keep the team’s shared understanding of expected behavior in one living record without tying it to a particular programming language or framework.

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

update-reqs 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 3d 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.

Update Requirements

Add or update functional requirement documents that describe what the software must do. Requirements are implementation-agnostic. From these documents alone, a team could recreate the software in any language or framework without access to the current codebase.

Scope

Requirement files live in docs/requirements/. Create files as needed based on the project's components.

File Coverage
project.md System-wide behavior, MCP tool contracts, subprocess management, data flow rules, cross-cutting constraints

If the user specifies a component, only update that file. Otherwise update all applicable files.

Core Rules

  • Append and update only. NEVER remove a requirement. Requirements are a living record.
  • Mark, don't delete. If a requirement no longer appears to match observed software behavior, set its status to Warning with a brief reason. Humans decide removal.
  • No implementation details. No language, framework, library, file path, class name, function name, data structure, or internal architecture belongs in a requirement. Describe observable behavior and contracts between components.
  • No code, pseudocode, or structural examples.
  • Each requirement is one testable statement. If you cannot verify whether the software satisfies a requirement through its external behavior or documented contracts, it is too vague. If a requirement uses "and" to join two distinct behaviors, split it.
  • Be concise. A requirement should rarely exceed two sentences. State the requirement directly.
  • Describe what, never how. Say what outcome the system must produce, not what mechanism achieves it.

Requirement File Format

# [Component] Requirements

## [Functional Area]

### REQ-[NNN]: [Short Title]
**Status**: Active | Warning
**Warning**: [reason this requirement may no longer apply - only present when status is Warning]

[Single requirement statement in plain prose. No bullets, sub-items, or conditional trees.]

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.

update-reqs is a skill published in the GitHub repository TalonT-Org/AutoSkillit (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 1,094 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
