SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turn fuzzy ideas into concrete, approved specs before any code is written by guiding clarifying questions, generating multiple approaches with trade-offs, and producing a structured spec for review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive clarifying questions that narrow the problem space.
  • Propose 2–3 approaches with clear trade-offs and recommended path.
  • Generate and store a formal spec under docs/specs/ after a self-mentor review.
  • Gate on explicit user approval before any implementation begins.

Quick Start

Provide a fuzzy idea as input to start a brainstorm session and generate the initial spec outline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn fuzzy ideas into concrete specs before writing code?▼

To turn fuzzy ideas into concrete specs, you provide your initial concept as input to start a brainstorm session. The skill then guides clarifying questions and proposes multiple approaches with trade-offs to narrow the problem space.

What is the best way to generate a formal spec from an initial product concept?▼

The best way to generate a formal spec is through a structured brainstorm session that proposes two to three approaches with clear trade-offs. After selecting a path, a self-mentor review identifies gaps before the final spec is stored.

How do I ensure a planning spec covers all edge cases and ambiguities?▼

To ensure a planning spec covers ambiguities, a self-mentor review process evaluates the generated document for gaps. It only proceeds to final storage under docs/specs/ after explicitly identifying missing details and gating on user approval.

Can I gate implementation on explicit user approval during the ideation phase?▼

Yes, you can gate implementation on explicit user approval during the ideation phase. The brainstorming process produces a structured spec for review and strictly blocks any downstream implementation until you provide explicit consent.

Does this approach work for governance and planning tasks requiring multiple proposed solutions?▼

Yes, this approach works for governance and planning tasks by proposing two to three approaches with clear trade-offs and a recommended path. It ensures structured ideation and produces a formal spec for review before any implementation begins.
