At a glance

Runs a requirement through four research-backed specialist agents, a PM, a UX designer, a tech architect and QA, to produce implementable tasks.

  • Works in 8 steps: Mode Selection → Codebase Scan → 5: Research Context (NEW) → …
  • Breaking a high-level feature request into implementable tasks
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Phase 0: Mode Selection, Phase 1: Codebase Scan and Phase 1.5: Research Context…, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Each of the four agents does its own web research before analysis, so a product manager agent grounds what and why in market and industry context, a UX agent researches interaction patterns, a technical architect researches frameworks and security, and a QA agent researches testing strategies, rather than relying on built-in assumptions. Two modes trade speed for depth: a quick mode runs the four agents in parallel with one combined question session afterward, while a deep mode runs them one after another with a dedicated question session following each agent, so each answer can inform the next agent's analysis.

Before any analysis it scans the codebase to detect whether this is a new or existing project, counts the features mentioned and watches for uncertainty words to judge complexity, then recommends the deep mode for a new or complex project and asks the user to confirm or override that choice. A codebase scan phase follows, reading files like the README, package manifests and sample source files to understand existing patterns before the four agents begin their work.

When your agent uses it

  • Breaking a high-level feature request into implementable tasks
  • Getting research-backed UX, technical and QA perspectives on a requirement
  • Deciding between a quick or deep analysis mode for a new feature

Example prompts

  • “Spec out this new onboarding flow with foreman-spec.”
  • “Break down the requirement for a multi-tenant billing feature.”
  • “Run a deep-mode spec analysis on this complex integration request.”

Requirements

  • Web search access for each agent's research step
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, Bash, Task

Workflow steps

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

  1. Mode Selection
  2. Codebase Scan
  3. 5: Research Context (NEW)
  4. Analysis (Mode-Dependent)
  5. 5: Question Collection & User Interaction
  6. Create Overview & Breakdown Tasks (DELEGATED)
  7. Module Breakdown (User-Driven)
  8. Validation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2763f83. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • AskUserQuestion
    • Bash
    • Task

    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, json and bash).

    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

Multi-Role Spec and Task Breakdown loads about 5.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,662 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~122
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, Bash, Task

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,662 words (~5,132 tokens).

“Multi-role requirement analysis using 4 specialized AI agents, each equipped with web research capabilities.”
