SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Transforms a source document (milestone brief, PRD, feature request, or raw prompt) into rigorous, implementation-agnostic behavioral specifications. Each spec becomes the source of truth for downstream coding agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Converts narrative inputs into structured behavioral specs.
  • Maintains a central glossary and per-epic constraints to ensure vocabulary and boundaries stay consistent.
  • Supports epic splitting when more than a dozen features are implied, producing specs for each epic and cross-epic references as needed.

Quick Start

Paste your source document to generate a complete first-draft spec in the required format.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PRD into behavioral specifications for coding agents?▼

To convert a PRD into behavioral specifications, paste the source document to generate implementation-agnostic specs, glossaries, and per-epic constraints that serve as the single source of truth for downstream coding agents.

What is the best way to structure requirements engineering for large feature requests?▼

The best way to structure requirements engineering for large feature requests is splitting inputs into epics when more than a dozen features are implied, producing individual specs and cross-epic references to maintain consistent boundaries.

Can I use raw prompts to generate product management epics and domain glossaries?▼

Yes, you can use raw prompts to generate product management epics and domain glossaries. The process transforms narrative inputs into structured behavioral specs while maintaining a central glossary to ensure vocabulary stays consistent.

Does this behavioral spec approach enforce no-code outputs for auditable workflows?▼

Yes, this behavioral spec approach enforces no-code, behavior-only outputs. It satisfies frontmatter-driven spec file requirements and uses explicit tagging for unresolved decisions to support auditable workflows.

What happens when a milestone brief implies unresolved product decisions during spec generation?▼

When a milestone brief implies unresolved product decisions during spec generation, the resulting behavioral specifications include explicit tagging for those unresolved decisions to support auditable workflows and guide engineering.

When should I split a feature request into multiple epics during specification?▼

You should split a feature request into multiple epics during specification when the source document implies more than a dozen features, which produces specs for each epic and cross-epic references as needed.
