System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Phase 1 of disciplined development ensures deep problem understanding before any design or implementation. It produces a Research Document for human approval before proceeding, maps existing systems, surfaces constraints and risks, and aligns stakeholders on the path forward.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a structured Research Document with Problem Understanding, Existing System Analysis, Constraints, Risks, and Recommendations.
  • Enforces explicit assumptions, essential questions, and risk assessment to reduce ambiguity.
  • Serves as a decision-ready artifact for project scoping, resourcing, and prioritization across engineering, product, and research teams.

Quick Start

  1. Start a new Research Document draft outlining the problem, objectives, and success criteria.
  2. Complete the Problem Understanding, Existing System Analysis, Constraints, and Risks sections using the guiding prompts in the skill.
  3. Review with stakeholders and obtain approval before moving to design.
