Automated summary
This skill turns a vague business idea into a structured specification: actors, business rules, user stories, acceptance criteria and clarification questions.
Strengths
- Enforces a complete, repeatable output format (goal, actors, rules, risks, out of scope)
- Forbids assumptions and forces clarification questions before any specification work
- Explicitly covers unhappy paths, user permissions and audit requirements
- Produces validation rules and acceptance criteria that feed directly into testing
Limitations
- Purely procedural: it ships no file template, no machine-readable format (Gherkin, JSON) and no tooling
- Output quality depends entirely on what the user supplies, since the skill refuses to infer requirements
- No support for prioritisation, estimation or traceability to an existing backlog
Use it at the start of a feature or project when a business idea needs to become clear, testable requirements.
Skip it when requirements are already specified and approved, or when you want code rather than an analysis phase.
Security analysis
SafeThis skill is a pure instruction/prompt document for business analysis with no declared tools, no executable commands, and no network, filesystem, or secret-handling behavior. It poses no meaningful execution risk.

From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/business-analyst-skill-mrwak8lh/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/business-analyst-skill-mrwak8lh' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/business-analyst-skill-mrwak8lh/download' --output '.skill-downloads/business-analyst-skill-mrwak8lh/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/business-analyst-skill-mrwak8lh/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/business-analyst-skill-mrwak8lh/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/business-analyst-skill-mrwak8lh/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
