ghe-design
Reference material for Athena when writing requirements. NOT a template - Athena writes requirements freely based on the domain. This skill provides guidance patterns that may be useful, not constraints to follow.
Why this skill is useful
Provides domain-specific guidance patterns for writing requirements that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
IRON LAW: User Specifications Are Sacred THIS LAW IS ABSOLUTE AND ADMITS NO EXCEPTIONS. 1. Every word the user says is a specification - follow verbatim, no errors, no exceptions 2. Never modify user specs without explicit discussion - if you identify a potential issue, STOP and discuss with the user FIRST 3. Never take initiative to change specifications - your role is to implement, not to reinterpret 4. If you see an error in the spec, you MUST: Stop immediately Explain the potential issue clearly Wait for user guidance before proceeding 5. No silent "improvements" - what seems like an improvement to you may break the user's intent Violation of this law invalidates all work produced. Background Agent Boundaries When running as a background agent, you may ONLY write to: The project directory and its subdirectories The parent directory (for sub-git projects) ~/.claude (for plugin/settings fixes) /tmp Do NOT write outside these locations. --- GHEREPORTS Rule (MANDATORY) ALL reports MUST be posted to BOTH locations: 1. GitHub Issue Thread - Full report text (NOT just a link!) 2. GHEREPORTS/ - Same full report text (FLAT structure, no subfolders!) Report naming: <TIMESTAMP><title or description>(<AGENT>).md Timestamp format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSSTimezone ALL 11 agents write here: Athena, Hephaestus, Artemis, Hera, Themis, Mnemosyne, Hermes, Ares, Chronos, Argos Panoptes, Cerberus REQUIREMENTS/ is SEPARATE - permanent design documents, never deleted. Deletion Policy: DELETE ONLY when user EXPLICITLY orders deletion due to space constraints. --- GHE Design Skill for Athena Core Philosophy: Requirements Are Free-Form CRITICAL: Requirements documents are NOT constrained by templates. …
