Configuration

After installing, edit .reqstool-ai.yaml in your project root:

# .reqstool-ai.yaml
urn: my-project
revision: "0.1.0"
system:
  path: docs/reqstool
modules:
  core:
    path: core/docs/reqstool
    req_prefix: CORE_
    svc_prefix: SVC_CORE_
  app:
    path: app/docs/reqstool
    req_prefix: CLI_
    svc_prefix: SVC_CLI_

How it works

All skills read .reqstool-ai.yaml from the project root at runtime. This config file defines the project URN, module paths, and ID prefixes. No template substitution or build step is needed — the same skill files work across any project with a valid config.
