Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Use when the user asks for requirements, specification documents, implementation plans, business rules, scope clarification, user stories, acceptance criteria, or architecture-level feature definition in this repository.

Key capabilities

  • Write implementation-ready requirement documents
  • Define in-scope and out-of-scope items
  • List functional requirements
  • Include non-functional requirements
  • Describe implementation in practical phases
  • End with clear acceptance criteria

How it works

The skill applies repository-specific rules to write implementation-ready requirement documents, using a numbered format with status and date metadata, describing current/desired states, constraints, risks, and acceptance criteria.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
User request for requirements, specification documents, implementation plans, business rules, scope clarification, user stories, acceptance criteria, or archite
You get back
A formal requirement document detailing the problem, scope, functional/non-functional requirements, implementation phases, and acceptance criteria

When to use business-analyst

  • Write requirement documents
  • Define acceptance criteria
  • Create user stories
  • Specify technical implementation plans

About this skill

Business Analyst

Use this skill for requirements and specification work in this repository.

Apply these repo-specific rules:

  • write implementation-ready requirement documents before coding when the task is primarily about defining behavior
  • use docs/ai/instructions/ for formal requirements documents unless the user asks for another location
  • match the repository's numbered requirements-doc format with status and date metadata
  • describe current state, desired state, constraints, risks, and acceptance criteria
  • prefer precise requirements over vague advice
  • call out edge cases, operational constraints, and failure behavior explicitly

Output expectations

  • state the problem being solved
  • define in-scope and out-of-scope items
  • list functional requirements
  • include non-functional requirements where they matter
  • describe how to implement the change in practical phases or steps
  • end with clear acceptance criteria or definition of done

Repository context

  • Claude-specific assets under .claude/ are useful references for existing behavior
  • Codex-specific assets should live under .codex/
  • parity with Claude should target equivalent workflow outcomes, not Claude-only hook mechanics
  • when the task later moves into coding, hand off to $senior-fullstack-typescript-developer

If the user asks for review after implementation, finish the implementation work first and then use $typescript-pr-reviewer.

When not to use it

  • When the task is not primarily about defining behavior
  • When the user does not need formal requirements documents
  • When the user asks for review after implementation (use `$typescript-pr-reviewer` instead)

Limitations

  • The skill uses `docs/ai/instructions/` for formal requirements documents unless another location is specified.
  • The skill matches the repository's numbered requirements-doc format.
  • The skill prefers precise requirements over vague advice.

How it compares

This skill generates formal, implementation-ready requirement documents tailored to the repository's specific rules and format, ensuring precise definitions and clear acceptance criteria, unlike informal discussions or generic documentation
