SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a new development milestone without a structured plan leads to scope creep, missed reuse opportunities, and unclear completion criteria. This Skill formats architecture research into a consistent R&D document before any implementation begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fixed Seven-Section Template: Produces documents with reuse audit, existing architecture touched, files to change, risks, testing plan, smallest-correct-scope, and non-goals in a strict order. - Evidence-Based Reuse Audit: Requires every reuse claim to cite real file paths and line numbers rather than vague statements. - Explicit Scope Boundaries: Enforces smallest-correct-scope and non-goals sections so future milestones know exactly what was excluded. - Use Case: When a Planner opens a new milestone and architecture-agent has finished its reuse audit, use this Skill to format those findings into the standard R&D document for approval before coding starts. ## Quick Start Ask the Planner to generate an R&D document for the new milestone using the architecture-agent's reuse audit findings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an R&D document before starting a development milestone?▼

Feed the architecture-agent's reuse audit findings into this Skill, which formats them into seven required sections: reuse audit, architecture touched, files to change, risks, testing plan, smallest-correct-scope, and non-goals.

What sections should a research and design document contain?▼

This template requires exactly seven sections in order: reuse audit with cited file paths, existing architecture touched, files to change, risks, testing plan, smallest-correct-scope, and explicit non-goals.

When should I use the R&D document generator?▼

Use it when opening a new milestone or after architecture-agent completes a reuse audit. Do not use it mid-milestone, for bug fixes that don't open a milestone, or after a document is already approved.

Does this Skill perform the architecture research itself?▼

No. It is a formatting procedure only and consumes findings from architecture-agent or the Planner's own research. It does not invoke other Skills, spawn agents, or re-derive the research.

What makes an R&D document incorrect under this template?▼

A document is incorrect if the reuse audit makes vague claims like reusing existing patterns without citing file paths, or if it omits the non-goals section entirely.
