SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bridges the gap between vague product requirements and implementation-ready engineering specifications, preventing scope creep and hidden technical debt.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Constraint Mapping: Identifies implicit business rules, invariants, and trust boundaries before coding begins.
  • Contract Definition: Generates an SRS-style capability plan that defines actors, surfaces, and state transitions.
  • Use Case: When a new feature spans multiple services, use this Skill to create a durable capability contract that ensures all engineers are aligned on the implementation constraints and non-goals.

Quick Start

Use the product-capability skill to analyze the current roadmap item and generate an implementation-ready capability plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I translate product roadmap requirements into engineering plans?▼

Translating product roadmap requirements into engineering plans involves extracting technical constraints, invariants, and interface contracts from product documentation to generate a structured, implementation-ready capability plan. This ensures alignment between product goals and execution.

What is the best way to prevent scope creep when defining a multi-service feature?▼

Preventing scope creep for a multi-service feature requires generating an SRS-style capability contract that explicitly defines actors, state transitions, and non-goals. This ensures all engineers share aligned implementation constraints before coding begins.

How do I identify technical constraints and invariants from product documentation?▼

Identifying technical constraints and invariants from product documentation requires analyzing high-level product intent and architectural context to extract implicit business rules and trust boundaries. This creates a durable capability plan for engineering execution.

When do I need an implementation-ready capability plan for product architecture?▼

You need an implementation-ready capability plan when a new feature spans multiple services or complex architectural boundaries. It bridges vague product requirements and engineering specifications by defining explicit open questions and non-goals.

Can I map implicit business rules and trust boundaries before coding begins?▼

Mapping implicit business rules and trust boundaries before coding begins is achieved by analyzing product intent and architectural context. This process identifies hidden technical constraints and generates a structured capability contract.

Why does vague product intent lead to hidden technical debt in engineering execution?▼

Vague product intent leads to hidden technical debt because engineering execution lacks defined interface contracts and explicit non-goals. Translating intent into a structured capability plan bridges this gap and prevents misaligned implementation.
