acceptance-criteria

acceptance-criteria is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from uthumany/uthy-legacy-os. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,125 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to describe when a user story is complete using testable scenarios. It uses Given, When, and Then to state the starting conditions, the action, and the expected result; BDD means Behavior-Driven Development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to specify story behavior, define sprint or release scope, write QA scenarios, and review whether work meets its requirements.
Why use it?
It gives product, engineering, and QA a shared definition of done and reduces ambiguity and rework.

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

acceptance-criteria 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 12d 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.

Acceptance Criteria

Overview

Acceptance criteria define when a story is "done." They're the shared understanding between product, engineering, and QA of what must be true for the feature to be accepted. Well-written criteria prevent ambiguity and reduce rework. This skill teaches the Given/When/Then format from Behavior-Driven Development (BDD).

When to Use

  • Writing or reviewing user stories
  • Defining scope for a sprint or release
  • Handing off requirements to QA
  • Creating a Definition of Done for your team
  • Don't use for: non-functional requirements (performance, security — separate criteria), exploratory work, or creative tasks

Instructions

1. Use Given/When/Then Format

Scenario: [Title describing the scenario]
Given [context / preconditions]
When [action / event]
Then [expected outcome]

Given sets up the context — what state must exist before the action. When describes the trigger — what the user does or what happens. Then describes the expected result — what should be observable.

2. Follow Best Practices

  • One scenario per behavior — Don't test multiple things in one scenario
  • Use concrete examples — "Given user has 3 active projects" not "Given user has projects"
  • Be deterministic — Same inputs always produce same results
  • Focus on outcomes, not implementation — THEN describes what happens, not how
  • Include edge cases — Empty states, error states, permission boundaries

3. Use AND/OR for Combinations

Scenario: Admin approves a team member's invitation
  Given the admin is logged in
    And there is a pending invitation for [email protected]
  When the admin clicks "Approve"
  Then the invitation status changes to "Active"
    And the user receives a welcome email

4. Write Rule-Oriented Criteria

For features with many variations, write rule-oriented criteria:

Rule: Team members can see projects based on their role

Scenario: Owner can see all projects
  Given I am the team owner
  When I open the dashboard
  Then I see all projects in the team

Scenario: Member can only see assigned projects
  Given I am a team member
  And I am assigned to projects A and B
  When I open the dashboard
  Then I see projects A and B
    And I do NOT see project C

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.

acceptance-criteria is a skill published in the GitHub repository uthumany/uthy-legacy-os (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,125 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
