What it does

Requirement Summary is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. Generate concise, structured summaries of requirements for quick team understanding. Use when analyzing requirements from text documents (MD, TXT, DOCX) or technical specifications to create bullet-point summaries that highlight core functionality and dependencies/constraints. Ideal for sprint planning, stakeholder updates, team onboarding, or any situation requiring rapid comprehension of requirement documents.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Word documents and Sprint planning and agile. It works with Microsoft Word. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of 180+ useful Claude Skills for Software Engineering and resources for customizing AI for SE workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f38503. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Requirement Summary loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 336 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: requirement-summary
description: Generate concise, structured summaries of requirements for quick team understanding. Use when analyzing requirements from text documents (MD, TXT, DOCX) or technical specifications to create bullet-point summaries that highlight core functionality and dependencies/constraints. Ideal for sprint planning, stakeholder updates, team onboarding, or any situation requiring rapid comprehension of requirement documents.

Requirement Summary

Overview

Generate structured, bullet-point summaries (5-7 items) from requirement documents that enable teams to quickly grasp core functionality and critical constraints without reading full specifications.

Workflow

1. Analyze the Requirement Document

Read the provided requirement document thoroughly to identify:

Core functionality and features being requested
Technical dependencies and system constraints
Integration points with existing systems
Critical limitations or blockers
Success criteria or acceptance conditions

2. Extract Key Information

Focus on information that directly impacts implementation decisions:

What is being built (features, capabilities, user-facing changes)
Why it's needed (business value, problem being solved)
Dependencies (external systems, APIs, data sources, prerequisites)
Constraints (technical limitations, performance requirements, compliance needs)
Scope boundaries (what's explicitly excluded or deferred)

3. Structure the Summary

Create a bullet-point list with 5-7 items following this pattern:

**[Category]**: [Concise description]

Recommended categories:

Core Functionality: Primary features or capabilities
Key Dependencies: External systems, APIs, or prerequisites
Technical Constraints: Performance, scalability, or platform limitations
Integration Points: How this connects with existing systems
Success Criteria: Measurable outcomes or acceptance conditions
Out of Scope: Explicitly excluded features or future considerations

4. Apply Clarity Principles

Each bullet point should:

Start with a bold category label for scannability
Use active, specific language (avoid vague terms like "improve" or "enhance")
Include concrete details (numbers, systems, technologies) when available
Be self-contained and understandable without reading other bullets
Focus on "what" and "why" rather than "how"

5. Validate Completeness

Ensure the summary answers:

What problem does this solve?
What are we building?
What systems does this depend on or integrate with?
What are the critical constraints or limitations?
How will we know it's successful?

Example

Input: A 3-page technical specification for a user authentication system

Output:

**Core Functionality**: Implement OAuth 2.0 authentication with support for Google and GitHub providers, including token refresh and session management

**Key Dependencies**: Requires integration with existing user database (PostgreSQL), Redis for session storage, and external OAuth provider APIs

**Technical Constraints**: Must support 10,000 concurrent users with <200ms authentication latency; sessions expire after 24 hours of inactivity

**Integration Points**: Connects to existing user profile service via REST API; emits authentication events to event bus for audit logging

**Security Requirements**: Enforce HTTPS-only, implement CSRF protection, store tokens encrypted at rest using AES-256

**Out of Scope**: Multi-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) deferred to Phase 2

Tips

Prioritize information that affects implementation decisions over background context
Use specific technical terms (API names, technologies, metrics) rather than generic descriptions
When requirements are ambiguous, note the ambiguity in the summary
For large documents, focus on the most critical 5-7 points rather than trying to cover everything
If the document lacks key information (dependencies, constraints), explicitly note what's missing
