How does the skill distinguish between different types of requirements?

It uses pattern matching and context analysis to categorize findings into functional requirements, non-functional requirements (performance, security, etc.), technical constraints, and assumptions.

What file formats can the Document Extraction skill process?

The skill supports Markdown (.md), plain text (.txt), PDF (.pdf), Microsoft Word (.docx), and web pages via the WebFetch tool.

Does it work with meeting transcripts?

Yes, it features a specialized extraction strategy for transcripts that focuses on action items, decisions made, and speaker-weighted context to identify requirements discussed in conversations.

Can it handle duplicate requirements found in different files?

Yes, the skill includes a deduplication step that uses semantic similarity to identify, merge, or flag redundant requirements across multiple documents.

How are the results formatted for use?

Extracted requirements are saved as structured YAML files in the .requirements/ directory, including original source text, confidence levels, and suggested review notes.

Learning & Documentation

Automates the systematic extraction and categorization of project requirements from diverse document formats and meeting transcripts.

The Document Extraction skill empowers Claude to perform deep requirement mining across various sources including PDFs, Word documents, legacy specifications, and meeting transcripts. By applying advanced pattern matching—including the Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax (EARS)—and identifying implicit indicators, it transforms unstructured narrative text into a structured, canonical requirement format. This skill handles the heavy lifting of categorization, deduplication, and confidence scoring, allowing development teams to quickly move from raw documentation to a validated backlog while ensuring critical constraints and stakeholder needs are never missed.
