SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This role provides a structured approach for writing RFCs that can be understood and executed by weaker local models, ensuring consistency, safety, and clarity in machine-assisted engineering tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RFC as order: define a single, unambiguous objective and constraints that a model can implement.
  • Deterministic guidance: prescribe exact blocks (SEARCH/REPLACE, tests) and guardrails to reduce ambiguity.
  • Governance and collaboration: support multi-agent coordination by providing measurable acceptance criteria and rollback plans for safe iteration.

Quick Start

Draft an RFC that clearly specifies a single feature with concrete scope, replace blocks, and testable acceptance criteria.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an RFC specification that weak models can execute correctly?▼

To write an RFC specification for weak models, define a single unambiguous objective and constraints with prescribed SEARCH/REPLACE blocks, mandatory tests, and rollback plans. This deterministic guidance reduces ambiguity and ensures verifiable outcomes for lower-capability agents.

What is a model instruction RFC and when do I need one for governance?▼

A model instruction RFC is a policy-style specification defining exact task constraints and acceptance criteria for agents. You need one for multi-agent governance coordination to ensure safe, measurable, and consistent machine-assisted engineering iterations.

How to draft task instructions for lower-capability local models that ensure safety?▼

Draft task instructions for lower-capability local models by prescribing exact code blocks, setting strict guardrails, and defining measurable acceptance criteria. Including a mandatory rollback plan ensures safe iteration and prevents unintended execution errors.

What's the best way to structure an RFC for multi-agent coordination and rollback?▼

The best way to structure an RFC for multi-agent coordination is to mandate sections for problem, approach, tests, and rollback. This provides measurable acceptance criteria and safe iteration plans required for reliable multi-agent collaboration.

Does an RFC for weak models need inline executable test blocks?▼

Yes, an RFC for weak models needs inline executable test blocks to comply with the strict template. These test blocks provide deterministic guidance and verifiable acceptance criteria, ensuring the lower-capability agent produces correct outcomes.
