SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning a rough product idea into a clear, honest, right-sized product brief is hard: assumptions go unexamined, scope balloons, and drafts lose context between sessions. This Skill coaches you through producing, refining, or pressure-testing a brief while keeping a persistent audit trail of every decision. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three intent modes: Create a new brief from scratch, Update an existing brief against a change signal, or Validate a brief with honest, line-cited critique. - Conversational discovery with coaching: Brain-dump friendly intake, web-research subagents for landscape grounding, and a choice between a Fast path (batched questions with [ASSUMPTION] tags) and a Coaching path (section-by-section pushback). - Persistent workspace and memlog: Each run writes brief.md, an optional addendum.md, and an append-only .memlog.md decision log, so work resumes cleanly across sessions. - Use Case: A founder preparing an investor pitch activates the skill, dumps their notes and a prior memo, chooses the fast path, and receives a polished 1-2 page brief with assumptions flagged for review. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you create a product brief for your new app idea and answer its discovery questions.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a product brief with an AI assistant?▼

Activate the skill and state that you want to create a brief. It opens with a discovery conversation, invites a brain dump of your idea and any source material, then drafts brief.md in a dedicated workspace folder with YAML frontmatter.

What is the difference between the fast path and coaching path?▼

The fast path batches remaining gaps into one or two consolidated questions and drafts the full brief with [ASSUMPTION] tags for your review. The coaching path walks section by section, pushing back on thin assumptions until the brief firms up.

Can I update or validate an existing product brief?▼

Yes. Update mode reconciles an existing brief with a change signal after reading the brief, addendum, and memlog. Validate mode returns an honest inline critique citing specific lines, and always offers to roll findings into an update.

Does the skill work in headless or non-interactive mode?▼

Yes. In headless mode it completes the detected intent without prompting and returns a JSON status block listing status, intent, and artifact paths. If intent is ambiguous, it halts with a blocked status and reason.

What files does the product brief workflow produce?▼

It produces brief.md as the main artifact, an optional addendum.md for depth that belongs downstream, and an append-only .memlog.md decision log. All files live in a run folder under the configured brief output path.
