# Requirement Assistant
This skill provides guidance on writing clear, complete, and actionable requirements.
## Quick Reference
### User Story Format (INVEST)
```
As a [role],
I want [feature],
So that [benefit].
```
### INVEST Criteria
| Criterion | Description | Question to Ask |
|-----------|-------------|-----------------|
| **I**ndependent | Can be delivered alone | Does this depend on other stories? |
| **N**egotiable | Details can be discussed | Is this too prescriptive? |
| **V**aluable | Provides user value | What problem does this solve? |
| **E**stimable | Can estimate effort | Do we understand the scope? |
| **S**mall | Fits in one sprint | Can we break this down? |
| **T**estable | Has clear acceptance criteria | How do we know it's done? |
### Requirement Priority Levels
| Priority | Label | Description |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| P0 | Must Have | Critical for release |
| P1 | Should Have | Important but not blocking |
| P2 | Could Have | Nice to have |
| P3 | Won't Have | Out of scope (this release) |

```markdown
## Problem
[What problem are we solving?]
## Proposed Solution
[How should we solve it?]
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] [Criterion 1]
- [ ] [Criterion 2]
- [ ] [Criterion 3]
```
### Feature Request Template
```markdown
## Summary
[One-line description]
## Motivation
[Why is this needed? Who benefits?]
## Detailed Description
[Full description of the feature]
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] [Measurable criterion 1]
- [ ] [Measurable criterion 2]
## Out of Scope
- [What this feature does NOT include]
```
### Bug Report Template
```markdown
## Description
[Brief description of the bug]
## Steps to Reproduce
1. [Step 1]
2. [Step 2]
3. [Step 3]
## Expected Behavior
[What should happen]
## Actual Behavior
[What actually happens]
## Environment
- OS: [e.g., Windows 11]
- Version: [e.g., v1.2.3]
```
## Acceptance Criteria Guidelines
### Good Acceptance Criteria
- **Specific**: Clear, unambiguous
- **Measurable**: Can verify pass/fail
- **Achievable**: Technically feasible
- **Relevant**: Related to the requirement
- **Testable**: Can write a test for it
### Examples
**Good**:
```markdown
- [ ] User can upload files up to 10MB
- [ ] System responds within 500ms for 95th percentile
- [ ] Error message displays when upload fails
```
**Bad**:
```markdown
- [ ] System should be fast # Not measurable
- [ ] Make it user-friendly # Too vague
- [ ] Fix the bug # No specific criteria
```
## Requirement Completeness Checklist

- [ ] **What**: Clear description of the feature
- [ ] **Why**: Business value / problem solved
- [ ] **Who**: Target users / personas
- [ ] **When**: Priority / timeline
