SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Rough project ideas, feature requests, and stakeholder notes often arrive vague and unstructured, making it hard to plan, estimate, or align a team. This Skill turns scattered input into a clear, decision-ready project brief that separates problems from solutions and makes assumptions explicit. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Brief Generation: Produces a complete brief covering problem statement, users, goals, scope, constraints, success criteria, assumptions, risks, dependencies, and open questions. - Scope Boundary Definition: Separates in-scope, deferred, and out-of-scope work to prevent scope creep before planning begins. - Assumption and Risk Capture: Labels inferred content, records testable assumptions, and prioritizes open questions that could change scope or cost. - Use Case: A founder pastes a one-paragraph product idea and receives a planning-ready brief with milestone candidates, a defined first version, and concrete next steps for validation. ## Quick Start Turn this rough feature idea into a structured project brief with goals, users, scope, success criteria, and open questions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a rough project idea into a project brief?▼

Provide the idea, notes, or feature request and the Skill extracts known facts, separates problem from solution, and drafts a structured brief. Missing details become prioritized open questions rather than blocking the output.

What sections should a project brief include?▼

A complete brief covers working title, summary, background, problem statement, target users, goals, scope with exclusions, constraints, success criteria, assumptions, risks, dependencies, open questions, and recommended next steps.

Can I use a project brief for non-software projects?▼

Yes, the same structure adapts to non-software domains. Users become readers, clients, or attendees, and deliverables become documents, workshops, campaigns, services, or physical outputs.

When should I write a project brief instead of an implementation plan?▼

Write a brief first when scope, users, or goals are still unclear. If the project is already well-scoped, skip the brief and use a planning skill to create the implementation plan directly.

What are the limitations of a generated project brief?▼

The brief does not verify external market, legal, pricing, or competitor facts, and it does not modify repository files or issue trackers. Claims requiring current research are flagged for validation instead of asserted.
