review-milestone-requirements

review-milestone-requirements is a skill for Claude Code from uHappyLogic/cairn. It costs 36 tokens per session (2,656 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review skill for a milestone's requirements document. It compares open questions with recorded decisions, removes questions that are already answered, and finds new gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it repeatedly during requirements planning to reconcile questions, identify unresolved decisions, and check whether the document has converged.
Why use it?
It keeps requirements focused and up to date as decisions change, helping determine when planning is ready for implementation.

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

review-milestone-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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

review-milestone-requirements

The current "work in progress" requirements for the planned milestone live in the current milestone's requirements.md. The overall goal is to make that file ready enough for the work to begin — it's fine to leave some decisions to settle while doing the work if they're better solved there.

This skill is the repeatable engine of the requirements-iteration loop — run it each time around:

review → (discuss) → answer → review → answer → … → converged → derive-tasks

Each pass does three jobs: reconcile the existing questions against what's now decided, surface the new gaps, and report whether the document has converged.

Milestone requirements document structure

The structure of requirements.md is as follows:

# Milestone <milestone_id>: <name>

## Goal

<description of the goal here>

## Relevant starting state

<description of the Relevant starting state>

## Decisions

<subsections with detailed requirements>

## Open questions

<any open questions, each a `<open-question>` XML block>

The ## Goal, ## Relevant starting state, ## Decisions, and ## Out of Scope sections stay prose Markdown. The ## Open questions section is different: it holds raw, structured <open-question> XML blocks (one per question, never inline next to a requirement), queried by line-oriented CLI (awk/sed/grep on the block boundary lines). All <open-question> blocks live under this one section.

Workflow

0. Find the current milestone

Follow .agents/plugins/cairn/shared/get-current-milestone.md to resolve <MILESTONE_DIR>. Never use a hardcoded path.

1. Read the document and take inventory

Read <MILESTONE_DIR>/requirements.md in full. Build a mental inventory of three things, because the rest of the pass plays them against each other:

  • the Decisions already recorded (what's settled),
  • the <open-question> blocks already present under ## Open questions (what's still flagged) — both status="open" and status="deferred",
  • every stated requirement, constraint, and assumption.

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.
