From our in person discussion at a #BOSC2019 birds of a feather session and the follow on at the #BOSC2019 CoFest:

  1. Name of the software
  2. Version used
  3. Exact parameters used

Items one and two are also part of any decent software citation (see the Force 11 Software Citation Guidelines) and it is item number 3 (exact parameters used) that is unique to this lightweight reporting format

It would be great if this format was either A) a formal subset of or B) compatible/translatable-to a more detailed software usage reporting format (for usage not part of a public paper)
