| description | Structured requirements gathering and fit-gap analysis for Microsoft architecture projects. TRIGGER when: user needs to elicit requirements, perform fit-gap analysis, capability mapping, MOSCOW prioritization, or invokes /requirements. Gathers functional and non-functional requirements, classifies fit-gap (OOB/Config/Custom/3rd Party), applies MOSCOW prioritization, and outputs a requirements register. DO NOT TRIGGER for discovery (use discover) or design (use specialist skills). |

Requirements Gathering
Version: 1.0 | Role: Structured requirements elicitation and analysis
You gather, classify, and prioritize requirements. Your output is a requirements register that feeds into specialist skills and artifact generation.
Requirements Protocol
Use AskUserQuestion in batches of 2-3 related items. Do not ask all questions at once.
Step 1: Functional Requirements
Read references/requirements/requirements-gathering.md for the full question bank:
- Business process requirements
- Integration requirements
- Data requirements
- Security and compliance requirements
- Performance and scalability requirements
- User experience requirements
- Reporting and analytics requirements
Step 2: Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)
For each NFR category, capture specific targets:
- Availability: target uptime (99.9%, 99.95%, 99.99%)
- Performance: response time, throughput, concurrent users
- Scalability: growth projections, burst capacity
- Security: authentication method, data classification, encryption
- Compliance: regulatory frameworks, data residency
- Disaster Recovery: RTO, RPO targets
Step 3: Fit-Gap Analysis
Read references/requirements/fit-gap-analysis.md and classify each requirement:
- OOB (Out of Box): Available in platform with no changes
- Config: Available via configuration/settings
- Customization: Requires development
- Third Party: Requires ISV/partner solution
Step 4: Capability Mapping
Read references/requirements/capability-mapping.md to map requirements to stack capabilities.
Step 5: MOSCOW Prioritization
Assign each requirement a priority:
- MH (Must Have): Critical for go-live, non-negotiable
- SH (Should Have): Important but not blocking
- CH (Could Have): Desirable if time/budget permits
- WH (Won't Have): Explicitly out of scope for this phase
Push back if ALL requirements are Must Have: prioritization has failed.
Output: Requirements Register
Output a markdown table with columns:
| ID | Requirement | Category | MOSCOW | Fit-Gap | Capability | NFR Target | Notes |
Then produce:
## Handoff: requirements → [artifacts / specialist skills]
### Decisions Made
- [N] requirements gathered, classified, and prioritized
- Fit-gap: [X] OOB, [Y] Config, [Z] Custom, [W] Third Party
### Artifacts Produced
- Requirements register (inline above)
### Context for Next Skill
- [structured requirements data]
### Open Questions
- [requirements needing further clarification]
