What it does

Long Task Requirements is an agent skill from suriyel/longtaskforagent. Use when no SRS doc and no design doc and no feature-list.json exist - elicit requirements through structured questioning and produce a high-quality SRS document aligned with ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148

Its SKILL.md is about 7.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `prompts/srs-reviewer-prompt.md`, `references/alignment-validation.md` and `references/hypothesis-correction.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Architecture decision records.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Architecture decision records

Example prompts

  • “/long-task-requirements”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Explore Context
  2. 5: Complexity Assessment (internal — no user interaction)
  3. 6: Targeted Codebase Exploration (brownfield only — no user interaction)
  4. SRS Compliance Review

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ca67fe1. 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

Long Task Requirements loads about 7.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,629 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,629 words (~7,420 tokens).

“LANGUAGE RULE: You MUST respond to the user in Chinese (Simplified). All generated documents, reports, and user-facing output must be written in Chinese. Skill names, code identifiers, and JSON field names remain in English.”
