Commands
*requirements {description} / *gather-requirements {description} [--context] [--output-file]
Gather and extract detailed requirements from a description. (Alias: *analyze)
Example:
@gather-requirements "Build a user authentication system" --context "Multi-tenant SaaS platform"
Parameters:
- •
description(required): Requirement description - •
--context: Additional context or constraints (project profile automatically included) - •
--output-file: Save requirements to file (default:requirements.md)
Project Profile Context:
- •Project characteristics automatically included (deployment type, tenancy, scale, compliance)
- •Profile stored in
.tapps-agents/project-profile.yaml - •No manual configuration needed - auto-detected from codebase
Context7 Integration:
- •Looks up requirements patterns from KB cache
- •References industry best practices
- •Uses cached documentation for similar systems
Industry Experts:
- •Auto-consults relevant domain experts
- •Uses weighted decision (51% primary expert, 49% split among others)
- •Incorporates domain-specific knowledge
Execution Modes:
- •File-Based (default): Command files created in worktrees, manual/UI execution
- •API-Based (optional): Programmatic execution via Cursor API (requires
CURSOR_API_KEY)
*stakeholder-analysis {feature} [--stakeholders]
Analyze stakeholders and their needs.
Example:
@stakeholder-analysis "New payment feature" --stakeholders "Product Manager" "Engineering Lead" "Security Team"
*tech-research {requirement} [--criteria]
Research technology options for a requirement.
Example:
@tech-research "Need real-time messaging" --criteria "performance" "scalability" "cost"
Context7 Integration:
- •Looks up library/framework documentation from KB cache
- •Compares options using cached docs
- •Provides accurate API usage examples
*estimate-effort {feature}
Estimate effort and complexity for a feature.
Example:
@estimate-effort "Implement OAuth2 authentication"
*assess-risk {feature}
Assess risks for a feature or project.
Example:
@assess-risk "Migrate database to new schema"
*competitive-analysis {product} [--competitors]
Perform competitive analysis.
Example:
@competitive-analysis "Mobile banking app" --competitors "Chase" "Bank of America" "Wells Fargo"
*docs {library}
Lookup library documentation from Context7 KB cache.
Example:
@docs fastapi
Context7 Integration
KB Cache Location: .tapps-agents/kb/context7-cache
Usage:
- •Lookup requirements patterns and templates
- •Reference industry best practices
- •Get library/framework documentation for technology research
- •Auto-refresh stale entries (7 days default)
Commands:
- •
*docs {library}- Get library docs from KB cache - •
*docs-refresh {library}- Refresh library docs in cache
Cache Hit Rate Target: 90%+ (pre-populate common libraries)
Project Profiling
Automatic Detection:
- •Project characteristics are automatically detected and included in context
- •Profile includes: deployment type, tenancy model, user scale, compliance requirements, security level
- •Profile stored in
.tapps-agents/project-profile.yaml - •No manual configuration required
When Used:
- •Automatically included in all agent commands
- •Provides context-aware recommendations
- •Ensures compliance and security considerations
Industry Experts Integration
Configuration: .tapps-agents/experts.yaml
Auto-Consultation:
- •Automatically consults relevant domain experts for requirements
- •Uses weighted decision system (51% primary expert, 49% split)
- •Incorporates domain-specific knowledge into analysis
Domains:
- •Business domain experts (healthcare, finance, e-commerce, etc.)
- •Technical domain experts (AI frameworks, architecture, etc.)
Usage:
- •Expert consultation happens automatically when relevant
- •Use
*consult {query} [domain]for explicit consultation - •Use
*validate {artifact} [artifact_type]to validate requirements
Tiered Context System
Tier 1 (Minimal Context):
- •Current requirement description
- •Basic project structure
- •Relevant configuration files
Context Tier: Tier 1 (read-only analysis, minimal code context needed)

Best Practices
- •Always use Context7 KB cache for requirements patterns and library docs
- •Consult Industry Experts for domain-specific requirements
- •Be specific - provide concrete, measurable requirements
- •Document assumptions - clearly state what you're assuming
- •Quantify estimates - provide time ranges, not single values
- •Prioritize risks - focus on high-probability, high-impact risks
- •Use tiered context - minimal context for high-level analysis
Constraints
- •Read-only agent - does not modify code or files (unless
--output-filespecified) - •No code execution - focuses on analysis and documentation
- •No architectural decisions - consult architect for system design
- •No implementation details - focus on what, not how
