requirement-extraction

requirement-extraction is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from varunk130/ai-workflow-playbooks. It costs 18 tokens per session (910 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A requirements-writing guide that turns vague requests into specific, testable work items. It records the stated goal, identifies missing details, and asks focused questions when the request is unclear.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify requests such as speeding up an app, adding user roles, fixing a bug, or improving security.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of building the wrong thing from an underspecified request. It makes assumptions and missing decisions visible before implementation begins.

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

requirement-extraction 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 10d 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.

Requirement Extraction

What This Skill Enables

An agent that can take ambiguous human input - "make the dashboard faster," "add authentication," "fix the search" - and systematically convert it into concrete, testable requirements before writing code. Agents without this skill build the wrong thing confidently.

Core Competencies

1. Signal Capture

Receive input without interpreting or filtering:

  • Record the exact words the user used
  • Note what was said AND what was left unsaid
  • Identify the stated goal vs the implied constraints
  • Distinguish between the problem description and a proposed solution

2. Ambiguity Detection

Flag vague language that needs clarification:

Vague Input What's Missing Clarifying Question
"Make it faster" Faster by how much? Which operation? "What's the current latency, and what's the target?"
"Add user roles" Which roles? What permissions? "What actions should each role be able to perform?"
"Fix the bug" Which bug? How to reproduce? "Can you describe the steps to trigger this behavior?"
"It should be secure" Against what threats? What data? "What sensitive data does this handle, and who should access it?"
"Like Spotify does it" Which specific feature/behavior? "Can you describe the specific interaction you're referring to?"

3. Assumption Surfacing

Make every implicit assumption explicit before proceeding:

STATED: "Add a login page"

ASSUMPTIONS I'M MAKING:
- Email + password authentication (not OAuth/SSO)
- Single user type (no admin vs regular distinction)
- Session-based auth (not token-based)
- Standard form with email and password fields
- Redirect to home page after successful login
- Show error message for invalid credentials
- No "remember me" or "forgot password" in v1

RISKS IF WRONG:
- OAuth requirement would change the entire auth architecture
- Multiple user types affect the data model and routing

→ Please confirm or correct these before I proceed.

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.

requirement-extraction is a skill published in the GitHub repository varunk130/ai-workflow-playbooks (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 910 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.
