Extract complete, unambiguous requirements from specifications.

  • Works in 6 steps: Read and Understand → Extract Explicit Requirements → Identify Implicit Requirements → …
  • Analyzing feature requests
  • SKILL.md covers Key Capabilities, Approach, Bitwarden-Specific… and Example, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Requirements Elicitation is an agent skill from bitwarden/ai-plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Extract complete, unambiguous requirements from specifications. Use when analyzing feature requests, processing enhancement specifications, or identifying missing information. Trigger phrases: "extract requirements", "analyze specification", "identify requirements", "clarify ambiguities". After extracting requirements, use the work-breakdown skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `examples/export-functionality.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Task breakdown. The repository describes itself as: AI plugin marketplace.

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing feature requests
  • Processing enhancement specifications
  • Identifying missing information
  • Phrases: extract requirements

Example prompts

  • “extract requirements”
  • “analyze specification”
  • “identify requirements”
  • “/requirements-elicitation”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read and Understand
  2. Extract Explicit Requirements
  3. Identify Implicit Requirements
  4. Flag Ambiguities and Gaps
  5. Document Constraints
  6. Create Acceptance Criteria

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e6bea3. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks 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

Requirements Elicitation loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 412 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 412 words (~1,319 tokens).
