SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams plan deep-research investigations by turning the current context and reference materials into a structured discovery plan that guides execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a formal discovery plan saved at knowledge-base/discoveries/plans/{slug}-plan.md
  • Enforce four-corner coverage, Step 0-4 protocol, and ADRs to document decisions
  • Produce a template-driven blueprint for /discover-execute and a plan-for-review cycle

Quick Start

Invoke /discover-plan {topic-slug} to generate a plan and save it at knowledge-base/discoveries/plans/{slug}-plan.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a discovery plan for multiple reference projects?▼

You can create a structured discovery plan by turning your current context and reference projects into a formal blueprint saved at knowledge-base/discoveries/plans/{slug}-plan.md, defining in-scope targets, four-corner coverage, and ADRs.

What is four-corner coverage when planning a deep research investigation?▼

Four-corner coverage is an enforced protocol within the discovery plan that ensures your investigation comprehensively evaluates all defined in-scope targets across multiple reference projects before execution begins.

How do I document architecture decisions during the discovery planning phase?▼

You document architecture decisions by generating ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) within the formal discovery plan, ensuring all technical decisions are recorded alongside the investigation targets and reference citations.

Do I need a specific SKILL.md protocol to generate a discovery plan?▼

Yes, generating a discovery plan requires a well-formed SKILL.md with a Step 0-4 protocol and a 5-10 question budget to properly guide the investigation planning and subsequent execution phases.

Can I use this discovery plan to directly execute my research investigation?▼

The discovery plan produces a template-driven blueprint specifically designed to guide the /discover-execute command, providing a structured plan-for-review cycle that directs the downstream execution of your research investigation.

How do I ensure my discovery plan citations point to real reference materials?▼

The discovery plan generation process validates that all citations point to real knowledge-base references located under knowledge-base/references, ensuring the investigation is grounded in actual project documentation.
