SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines collecting complete, unambiguous requirements by guiding users through a structured AskUserQuestion workflow that captures MUST_HAVE (blocking) and NICE_TO_HAVE (optional) information before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured questioning workflow that enforces MUST_HAVE and NICE_TO_HAVE capture
  • Pre-implementation validation gates to prevent scope creep
  • Templates and guidance for downstream planning, testing, and deployment
  • Use cases include starting new features with ambiguous specs, resolving conflicting requirements, and aligning stakeholder expectations across teams

Quick Start

Run /clarify to begin intensive requirement gathering for the current task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify ambiguous requirements before starting feature implementation?▼

To clarify ambiguous requirements, use a structured questioning workflow that captures MUST_HAVE blocking and NICE_TO_HAVE optional information. This enforces disciplined validation gates to prevent scope creep before development begins.

What is the best way to align stakeholder expectations during feature design?▼

Align stakeholder expectations by executing structured requirement clarification that distinguishes blocking from optional information. This resolves conflicting requirements and enforces validation gates before implementation planning proceeds.

How do I prevent scope creep when gathering specifications for a new feature?▼

Prevent scope creep by applying pre-implementation validation gates during requirement gathering. The structured questioning workflow isolates MUST_HAVE blocking needs from NICE_TO_HAVE optional requests to enforce strict scope boundaries.

Can I use structured requirement gathering for evaluating multiple approaches?▼

Yes, structured requirement gathering applies when evaluating multiple approaches or confronting ambiguous specs. It guides users through an intensive AskUserQuestion workflow to collect complete requirements before committing to a specific implementation path.

Does requirement clarification provide templates for downstream planning and testing?▼

Yes, requirement clarification provides templates and guidance for downstream planning, testing, and deployment. It establishes integration points after collecting blocking and optional information to support subsequent development phases.
