At a glance

Standardize BRD and BRD-lite discovery for business goals, stakeholder impact, current-to-future state, and measurable value outcomes.

  • Works in 3 steps: Discovery Workflow → BRD-lite Drafting → Quality Gate
  • Project justification
  • SKILL.md covers Priority: P0 (CRITICAL), 1. Discovery Workflow, 2. BRD-lite Drafting and 3. Quality Gate, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Common Business Requirements is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Standardize BRD and BRD-lite discovery for business goals, stakeholder impact, current-to-future state, and measurable value outcomes. Use when creating BRD, business case, project justification, ROI narrative, or AS-IS to TO-BE scope.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/brd-template.md` and `references/checklist.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Project justification
  • AS-IS to TO-BE scope

Example prompts

  • “/common-business-requirements”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Discovery Workflow
  2. BRD-lite Drafting
  3. Quality Gate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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.

    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

Common Business Requirements loads about 727 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 281 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~727
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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.

Business Requirements Expert

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Frame the business "Why" before product or technical specs.

1. Discovery Workflow

  • Draft executive summary: purpose, outcome, sponsor, validation owner.
  • For vague "implement X" requests, draft BRD-lite first and ask only blocking BA questions with recommended defaults.
  • Confirm business objective and success metric.
  • Identify sponsor, decision-maker, and impacted stakeholders.
  • Capture AS-IS process pain and TO-BE target state.
  • Define scope boundary, exclusions, assumptions, and constraints.
  • Record value hypothesis: cost, revenue, risk, compliance, or cycle-time impact.
  • Handoff Quality: Identify the Handoff Owner (BA Lead) and the next accountable team member (Product Manager).
  • Add glossary terms when stakeholder or domain language can be misread.
  • Add Mermaid AS-IS/TO-BE process diagram when workflow complexity affects approval.

2. BRD-lite Drafting

  • Load references/brd-template.md.
  • Keep each objective SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
  • Link each BRD objective to a candidate PRD requirement placeholder (REQ-*).
  • Offshore Ready: Include stakeholder validation plan and acceptance window for remote delivery teams.
  • Add outcome report seed: feature_status, requirement_trace, completed/missing evidence, decision needed, and recommended next workflow (plan-feature).
  • Write to docs/brd/brd-[slug].md.

3. Quality Gate

  • Every objective has an owner and KPI target.
  • Every in-scope item has a rationale and out-of-scope pair.
  • Risk register includes mitigation owner.
  • Stakeholder approvals and unresolved decisions are explicit.
  • Functional behavior is routed to PRD/SRS, not buried in BRD.

Anti-Patterns

  • No solution design in a Why-lane BRD; Direction-lane briefs record technical options per common-decision-discipline.
  • No vague goals ("improve efficiency") without baseline and target.
  • No missing owners for objectives or risks.
  • No coding or QA routing before the BA owner, value metric, and scope fence are clear.
  • No silent scope expansion after approval.
  • No jargon without glossary entry.
