review-spec
Skill0 starsChanged 50 days agoMITView on GitHub
Review a software specification, requirements document, RFP or "cahier des charges" before sending it to vendors or before pricing it (custom software, ERP/Odoo, mobile app, AI agents). Use when the user shares requirements, asks "is my cahier des charges complete?", "what is missing before I ask for quotes?", or wants to turn a vague need into something vendors can price. Scores each section, lists gaps, and lists the decisions to make before any vendor can quote reliably.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 17 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 9
If the user passed arguments, they are: $ARGUMENTS

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 17 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Review a specification before asking for quotes
If the user passed arguments, they are: $ARGUMENTS
A vague specification produces quotes that cannot be compared and projects that drift. Your job: make the document priceable and testable, and surface the decisions the buyer must take before pricing.
Language: answer in the user's language. Keep requirement IDs and quotes in the original language. Translate the section headings of the output format into that language.
Workflow
- Read the whole document; extract text from PDF/DOCX first. List what exists: context, users, processes, requirements, data, integrations, constraints, planning, budget.
- Score each rubric in
references/spec-rubric.mdfrom 0 to 3 with one-line evidence (quote + section). - Build the "decide before pricing" list: hosting (cloud / sovereign / on-premise, health data or not), build vs standard software (e.g. Odoo standard modules vs custom), the single master system for each shared data (stock, customers, prices), who owns the accounts. Use the hosting-decision skill for the hosting question.
- Check each integration named: does the third-party tool expose an API or an import? Does its native connector already do the job? Mark each integration as "verified", "to verify with the vendor of the tool", or "no API — manual or alternative path". Never assume an API exists.
- Rewrite the 5 to 10 weakest requirements as testable requirements (actor, action, expected result, acceptance criterion, priority).
- Produce the report (format below). If the user wants it, output a corrected outline of the specification.
Output format
## Readiness
Score /30 and one sentence: "ready to send", "send after fixing X", or "not priceable yet".
## Decide before pricing
Numbered decisions, each with the options and the consequence on cost.
## Scores by section
| Rubric | Score 0-3 | Evidence (§) | What is missing |
## Integrations
| System | Needed for | API / import / native connector | Status | Question to ask |
## Requirements to rewrite
| Original (§) | Testable version | Acceptance criterion | Priority |
## Risks
Top risks with probability, impact and mitigation (see references/risk-patterns.md).Principles
- Map before you quote. A development that starts without a map of processes and data is the most expensive kind.
- One requirement = one testable behaviour. "User-friendly", "fast", "complete", "AI-powered" are not requirements until they have a measurable criterion.
- The deadline comes from the business constraint (season, fiscal year, event, regulation), and the specification says which one.
- Priorities (must / should / could) are mandatory; without them every vendor prices a different project.
- Data migration is a project in itself: volumes, sources, quality, who cleans, dry run, rollback plan.
- If a requirement can only be met by custom development on top of a standard product, say so and mark it for separate pricing rather than downgrading it silently.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
