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

create-requirements 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 18d 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.

Create Requirements

Drafts a structured requirements document from a feature brief, user story, or GitHub issue, capturing functional requirements, non-functional requirements, constraints, and acceptance criteria. When the feature has a CLI surface, it delegates to /create-cli-design so the commands and options are designed alongside the requirements they serve.

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared SDLC conventions in skills/sdlc/references/shared.md.
  • If no argument is provided, use $ISSUE_TITLE and $ISSUE_BODY as the feature brief (and $ISSUE_NUMBER to link the feature).
  • A feature brief, user story, or issue description provided in context or as $1
  • Stakeholder goals and constraints, if known

Steps

  1. Read and understand the input (feature brief, issue, or user story).
  2. Identify the goal: what problem is being solved and for whom.
  3. List functional requirements: behaviors the system must show.
  4. List non-functional requirements: quality attributes (performance, security, availability, etc.).
  5. Identify constraints: technology choices, regulatory requirements, compatibility needs.
  6. Write acceptance criteria: testable conditions that confirm each requirement is met.
  7. Flag any open questions where requirements are unclear or missing.
  8. Derive the feature directory name N-<slug> following the Feature Directory Naming convention in skills/sdlc/references/shared.md: use the issue number as N when one is available, otherwise a p-prefixed sequence number (p1, p2, ...) marking the feature as pending a placeholder issue. Record the related issue number in the frontmatter issue field only when an issue exists.
  9. Write the output to .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/requirements.md, creating the directory if it does not exist.
  10. Detect a CLI surface: when the feature adds or changes CLI commands or options, load the create-cli-design skill with the skill tool and run it to design the interface from the requirements just drafted, producing .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/cli-design.md.

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.
