SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing documentation, proposals, and specs alone often produces documents that make sense to the author but confuse readers. This Skill structures the co-authoring process so context is fully transferred, each section is deliberately refined, and blind spots are caught before others read the doc. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-Stage Workflow: Context Gathering with clarifying questions, section-by-section Refinement & Structure with brainstorming and curation, and Reader Testing with a fresh AI instance to catch ambiguities. - Iterative Section Drafting: For each section, generates clarifying questions, brainstorms 5-20 candidate points, curates with the user, then drafts and refines through surgical edits. - Reader Testing: Predicts questions real readers would ask and validates the document against them using sub-agents or a fresh conversation, surfacing assumed knowledge and contradictions. - Use Case: A product manager needs to write a decision doc for a technical migration. The Skill gathers project context, drafts each section through structured iteration, then tests the finished doc with a context-free reader to ensure it stands on its own. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you write a decision doc or technical spec using the structured co-authoring workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a decision doc with AI assistance?▼

Use a structured co-authoring workflow: first dump all project context while the AI asks clarifying questions, then build each section through brainstorming and curation, and finally test the finished doc with a fresh AI conversation to catch blind spots.

How to test if a technical spec is clear to readers?▼

Predict 5-10 questions real readers would ask, then paste the document into a fresh AI conversation with no prior context and ask those questions. Wrong answers or flagged ambiguities reveal gaps that need fixing before sharing.

What document types does this workflow support?▼

The workflow supports documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, PRDs, RFCs, and similar structured content. It adapts section suggestions based on the document type and any template the user provides.

Can I skip stages of the co-authoring workflow?▼

Yes, the workflow is flexible. If you prefer to work freeform or skip a stage, the Skill accommodates that choice, though reader testing is recommended to catch assumptions that make sense to authors but confuse readers.

Why does my document confuse readers even though it seems clear to me?▼

Authors carry context that readers lack, creating blind spots like unexplained terms, assumed background knowledge, and implicit reasoning. Testing the doc with a context-free reader exposes these gaps so they can be fixed before distribution.
