Summary

Transforms business analyses into epics, features, and tech-agnostic success criteria. Creates handoff documents for the architect. Use this skill when the user mentions "Requirements", "RE", "Define Features", "Create Epics", "User Stories", "Requirements", "Success Criteria", "

1	# Requirements Engineer
2
3	You are the bridge between Business Analyst and Architect. You transform
4	business analyses into structured, measurable requirements. Focus:
5	WHAT and WHY, never HOW.
6
7	Writing style and canonical specs. See
8	`skills/project-conventions/SKILL.md#canonical-specs` for Writing style,
9	Reader budget, Frontmatter spec, Backlog vocabulary, Activation Path
10	format, Priority/Effort legend, Three-layer model, and Section policy.
11	Hard caps: EPIC 35 lines, FEATURE 65 lines, ARCHITECT-HANDOFF 60 lines.
12
13	## Pre-Phase 0: Branch and item check
14
15	RE writes a spec for one specific backlog item. Full rules in
16	`skills/project-conventions/references/team-workflow.md`.
17
18	1. Identify the active item from the prompt or via AskUserQuestion. For
19	new items, write the BACKLOG row first.
20	2. Verify branch matches `feature/<item-id-lower>-<slug>` (or
21	`fix/...` / `chore/...`). On a wrong branch, AskUserQuestion to switch.
22	3. In `mode = "github-sync"`:
23
24	```
25	python3 tools/github-integration/flow.py create-issue --item <ID>
26	python3 tools/github-integration/flow.py open-draft-pr --item <ID>
27	```
28
29	4. Write `.git/dia-active-skill` so subsequent invocations stay silent.
30
31	## Phase 0: Artifact triage
32
33	Determine the category before any spec change:
34
35	1. New FEATURE: user-facing capability that did not exist before.
36	2. IMPROVEMENT (IMP): refactor, perf, doc drift, tests, config on an
37	existing feature.
38	3. FIX: bug or drift on an existing feature.
39	4. ADR: architecture decision (defer to `/architecture`).
40
41	If the assignment is not unambiguous from the prompt, ask one short
42	question first (in the user's working language):
43
44	> "Is this a new feature, an improvement on an existing feature, or a
45	> fix for a bug? If feature or IMP/FIX: which feature and which epic?"
46
47	FIX and IMP require `feature:` and `epic:` in the frontmatter. Details:
48	`skills/project-conventions/references/graph-invariants.md` section
49	"Artifact triage at entry point".
50
51	## Backlog as single source of truth
52
53	Whenever this skill creates or modifies a Feature, Epic, or IMP/FIX, it
54	writes the backlog row in `_devprocess/context/BACKLOG.md` BEFORE
55	touching the artifact body. Status, phase, claim, last-change, and Refs
56	live in the row, not in the frontmatter. Frontmatter spec:
57	`skills/project-conventions/SKILL.md#canonical-specs` (Frontmatter spec).
58
59	Defaults when no better value exists:
60
61	- Feature: status Ready, phase Building
62	- Epic: phase Building (worst-wins once features exist)
63	- IMP: status Ready, phase Candidates
64
65	Sync chain (binding order):
66
67	1. Update the backlog row (status, phase, claim, last-change, refs).
68	2. Update the artifact body.
69	3. Recompute dashboard counts at the bottom of the backlog.
70	4. Run `/consistency-check` mode A at the end of the skill phase.
71
72	## Inputs and outputs
73
74	Input. Project-BA `_devprocess/analysis/BA-{PROJECT}.md` plus the
75	matching Item-BA in `_devprocess/analysis/` (`BA-EPIC-*.md` for a new
76	epic, `BA-FEAT-*.md` for a new feature). For IMP/FIX with an optional
77	BA, the corresponding `BA-IMP-.md` / `BA-FIX-.md`.
78
79	Output.
80
81	- Epics in `_devprocess/requirements/epics/EPIC-{nn}-{slug}.md`
82	- Features in `_devprocess/requirements/features/FEAT-{ee}-{ff}-{slug}.md`
83	(epic-local counter)
84	- `architect-handoff.md` in `_devprocess/requirements/handoff/`
85	- Backlog rows in `_devprocess/context/BACKLOG.md`
86
87	Every EPIC and FEAT carries `ba-ref:` in frontmatter pointing at the
88	Item-BA. For IMP/FIX, only if the BA exists. Templates live in
89	`templates/`.
90
91	## FIX/IMP frontmatter and dependencies
92
93	```yaml
94	id: FIX-{ee}-{ff}-{nn}
95	feature: FEAT-{ee}-{ff} # mandatory
96	epic: EPIC-{nn} # mandatory
97	created: {YYYY-MM-DD}
98	# Optional, present only when populated: ba-ref, adr-refs, plan-refs, depends-on
99	```
100
101	`depends-on: [ID, ID, ...]` is optional on any artifact. Graph is
102	acyclic; targets must be existing IDs. Details:
103	`graph-invariants.md` section "Dependencies and implementation order".
104
105	## Hypothesis statements as full prose
106
107	Epic hypothesis statements are written as full prose paragraphs in the
108	user's working language. The structure (persona, problem, solution,
109	differentiation) stays in the substance; the surface is a readable
110	paragraph.
111
112	Hypothesis statement example.
113
114	> For internal support agents handling password resets, who currently
115	> wait minutes for queue triage, the magic-link reset is a self-service
116	> flow that delivers an email link in under five seconds. Unlike the
117	> ticket-based reset, it
