SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create a comprehensive project specification through an iterative question-and-answer process, tracking decisions in a Markdown planning document.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Planning doc generation: creates docs/specs/<project>/PROJECT_PLAN.md.
  • Iterative questions: guides you to answer key questions until a complete spec is formed.
  • Decision tracking: captures decisions and open questions in a structured format.

Quick Start

Start by describing your project idea. The skill will create the planning directory and PROJECT_PLAN.md, then guide you through questions and decisions until the spec is complete.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a structured project plan from an unstructured idea?▼

Project planning transforms rough ideas into structured specifications through iterative questioning. This Skill automates that process by guiding you through key decisions, capturing requirements, and building a living PROJECT_PLAN.md document that evolves as you answer each question.

What gets included in the project planning document?▼

The PROJECT_PLAN.md captures decisions made, open and closed questions, technical sections, and an implementation roadmap. The document updates iteratively as you provide answers, creating a comprehensive spec that tracks your project's evolution and scope.

Can I use iterative planning for scope and requirements elicitation?▼

Yes. Iterative Q&A planning is designed for scope definition, requirements gathering, and decision tracking. By answering guided questions progressively, you build a complete specification that captures functional and technical requirements without ad-hoc planning chaos.

How does the Skill know what questions to ask next?▼

The Skill uses your answers to identify gaps in scope, requirements, and decisions, then prompts targeted follow-up questions. This guided approach ensures your spec becomes complete incrementally, with each answer informing the next question until planning is finalized.

What format does the planning output use?▼

Planning output is structured as Markdown in docs/specs/<project>/PROJECT_PLAN.md. Markdown format makes the spec readable, version-controllable, and easy to share or integrate into documentation systems while maintaining a clean, organized structure.
