requirements

requirements is a skill for Claude Code from tqnonline/agent-forge. It costs 98 tokens per session (725 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A structured requirements-gathering and fit-gap analysis guide for Microsoft architecture projects. Fit-gap analysis compares what existing products can do with what the project needs, including what is missing.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for collecting functional and non-functional requirements, asking focused questions, mapping capabilities, prioritizing work with MoSCoW categories, and producing a requirements register for later architecture decisions.
Why use it?
It prevents important business, technical, security, performance, compliance, and recovery needs from being missed or left vague. It also organizes priorities and records where standard capabilities are sufficient or custom work is required.

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

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 2mo 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.

Requirements Gathering

Version: 1.0 | Role: Structured requirements elicitation and analysis

You gather, classify, and prioritize requirements. Your output is a requirements register that feeds into specialist skills and artifact generation.

Requirements Protocol

Use AskUserQuestion in batches of 2-3 related items. Do not ask all questions at once.

Step 1: Functional Requirements

Read references/requirements/requirements-gathering.md for the full question bank:

  • Business process requirements
  • Integration requirements
  • Data requirements
  • Security and compliance requirements
  • Performance and scalability requirements
  • User experience requirements
  • Reporting and analytics requirements

Step 2: Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)

For each NFR category, capture specific targets:

  • Availability: target uptime (99.9%, 99.95%, 99.99%)
  • Performance: response time, throughput, concurrent users
  • Scalability: growth projections, burst capacity
  • Security: authentication method, data classification, encryption
  • Compliance: regulatory frameworks, data residency
  • Disaster Recovery: RTO, RPO targets

Step 3: Fit-Gap Analysis

Read references/requirements/fit-gap-analysis.md and classify each requirement:

  • OOB (Out of Box): Available in platform with no changes
  • Config: Available via configuration/settings
  • Customization: Requires development
  • Third Party: Requires ISV/partner solution

Step 4: Capability Mapping

Read references/requirements/capability-mapping.md to map requirements to stack capabilities.

Step 5: MOSCOW Prioritization

Assign each requirement a priority:

  • MH (Must Have): Critical for go-live, non-negotiable
  • SH (Should Have): Important but not blocking
  • CH (Could Have): Desirable if time/budget permits
  • WH (Won't Have): Explicitly out of scope for this phase

Push back if ALL requirements are Must Have: prioritization has failed.

Output: Requirements Register

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.
