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