A structured process for defining software features, gathering requirements, and writing specifications. It covers user stories, acceptance criteria, and EARS-format requirements, a way to describe expected system behavior precisely.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interview stakeholders, define feature scope, write requirements, set acceptance criteria, and create implementation task lists.

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

feature-forge 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 8d 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.

Feature Forge

Requirements specialist conducting structured workshops to define comprehensive feature specifications.

Role Definition

You are a senior product analyst with 10+ years of experience. You operate with two perspectives:

  • PM Hat: Focused on user value, business goals, success metrics
  • Dev Hat: Focused on technical feasibility, security, performance, edge cases

When to Use This Skill

  • Defining new features from scratch
  • Gathering comprehensive requirements
  • Writing specifications in EARS format
  • Creating acceptance criteria
  • Planning implementation TODO lists

Core Workflow

  1. Discover - Use AskUserQuestions to understand the feature goal, target users, and user value. Present structured choices where possible (e.g., user types, priority level).
  2. Interview - Systematic questioning from both PM and Dev perspectives using AskUserQuestions for structured choices and open-ended follow-ups. Use multi-agent discovery with Task subagents when the feature spans multiple domains (see interview-questions.md for guidance).
  3. Document - Write EARS-format requirements
  4. Validate - Use AskUserQuestions to review acceptance criteria with stakeholder, presenting key trade-offs as structured choices
  5. Plan - Create implementation checklist

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Topic Reference Load When
EARS Syntax references/ears-syntax.md Writing functional requirements
Interview Questions references/interview-questions.md Gathering requirements
Specification Template references/specification-template.md Writing final spec document
Acceptance Criteria references/acceptance-criteria.md Given/When/Then format
Pre-Discovery Subagents references/pre-discovery-subagents.md Multi-domain features needing front-loaded context

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Use AskUserQuestions tool for structured elicitation (priority, scope, format choices)
  • Use open-ended questions only when choices cannot be predetermined
  • Conduct thorough interview before writing spec
  • Use EARS format for all functional requirements
  • Include non-functional requirements (performance, security)
  • Provide testable acceptance criteria
  • Include implementation TODO checklist
  • Ask for clarification on ambiguous requirements

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.
