Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Requirements Flow-Down Skill ## Purpose The Requirements Flow-Down skill provides systematic capabilities for capturing, decomposing, and tracing requirements throughout the mechanical design process, ensuring design intent is properly communicated and verified. ## Capabilities - Stakeholder requirements elicitation - Functional requirements decomposition - Performance requirements specification - Design constraint identification - Requirements traceability matrix - Verification method assignment - Requirements change management - Code and standard flow-down ## Usage Guidelines ### Requirements Hierarchy #### Requirements Levels ``` Level 1: Stakeholder Requirements - What the customer/user needs - High-level, solution-independent - Source: Customer specifications, standards Level 2: System Requirements - What the system must do - Allocated from stakeholder requirements - Source: System engineering Level 3: Subsystem Requirements - What each subsystem must do - Allocated from system requirements - Source: Architecture trade studies Level 4: Component Requirements - What each component must do - Allocated from subsystem requirements - Source: Detailed design ``` #### Requirement T

What does the requirements-flowdown skill do?
Skill for systematic requirements capture, decomposition, and traceability
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill requirements-flowdown --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
