At a glance

Standardize SRS and FRS specifications for technical behavior, interfaces, data contracts, quality constraints, and verification mapping.

  • Works in 3 steps: SRS/FRS Discovery → Drafting Workflow → Verification Mapping
  • Functional specification
  • SKILL.md covers Priority: P0 (CRITICAL), 1. SRS/FRS Discovery, 2. Drafting Workflow and 3. Verification Mapping, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Common Software Requirements is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Standardize SRS and FRS specifications for technical behavior, interfaces, data contracts, quality constraints, and verification mapping. Use when writing SRS, functional specification, system behavior requirements, API/data contracts, or non-functional thresholds.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/frs-checklist.md` and `references/requirements-standards-baseline.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data governance. 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

  • Functional specification
  • System behavior requirements
  • API/data contracts
  • Non-functional thresholds

Example prompts

  • “/common-software-requirements”

Workflow steps

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

  1. SRS/FRS Discovery
  2. Drafting Workflow
  3. Verification Mapping

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 Software Requirements loads about 728 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 265 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~728
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

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.

Software Requirements Expert

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Define the technical "How" with verifiable requirements.

1. SRS/FRS Discovery

  • Confirm linked PRD requirements (REQ-*) and AC IDs.
  • Preserve trace: BRD-OBJ-* -> REQ-* -> AC-* -> SRS-* -> test evidence.
  • Block or route back to PRD (plan-feature) when REQ-* or AC-* inputs are missing; do not infer product scope from code.
  • Define functional flows: trigger, inputs, validations, outputs, errors.
  • For complex flows, use one actor, one goal, one session; split normal, alternate, and exception courses.
  • Define interface contracts: API, events, storage, external integrations.
  • Define NFR thresholds: latency, availability, security, scalability.
  • Define constraints: migration, compatibility, compliance, rollout.

2. Drafting Workflow

  • Load references/srs-template.md.
  • Slug Alignment: Use the same [slug] from the source docs/prd/prd-[slug].md to maintain filename-level traceability.
  • Write one requirement card per statement with stable SRS-* IDs.
  • Map each SRS-* to source PRD REQ-* and verification lane.
  • Map every technical behavior to PRD ACs, test lane, and evidence target.
  • Include statement, priority, status, input/output/error behavior, NFR impact, measurement method, and evidence target.
  • Add outcome report: feature_status, requirement trace, completed/missing evidence, decision needed, and recommended next workflow.
  • Write to docs/srs/srs-[slug].md.

3. Verification Mapping

  • Each SRS-* has test evidence plan (unit/integration/E2E/manual).
  • Failure modes and fallback behavior are explicit.
  • Permissions and privacy controls mapped to requirements.
  • Measurement method exists for each NFR.

Anti-Patterns

  • No mixed requirements and implementation tasks in same statement.
  • No NFR claims without numeric threshold.
  • No interface contract without input/output/error schema.
  • No requirement without trace link to source and verification.
  • No implementation handoff without mapped PRD AC IDs and test lanes.
  • No happy-path-only flow for complex user/system interactions.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard --skill common-software-requirements -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/common-software-requirements, .gemini/skills/common-software-requirements, .github/skills/common-software-requirements and .opencode/skills/common-software-requirements in your project.

What does Common Software Requirements need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Common Software Requirements is instructions for the agent only.

Does Common Software Requirements access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Common Software Requirements safe to install?
