SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users transform a business idea into a structured baseline document, ready for iterative development and improvement. It bridges the gap between a raw concept and an executable plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Baseline Initialization: Creates foundational documents (prd.md, execution-playbook.md, benchmark.md) for a new project or feature.
  • Guided Workflow: Offers two modes: 'self-described baseline' for users with a clear vision and 'vague baseline creation' for users who need AI assistance in defining the structure and execution.
  • Use Case: You have a business idea to scrape real-time trending topics from a specific website. Use this Skill to define the product requirements, execution steps, and how to measure success, creating a solid starting point for development.

Quick Start

Use the self-improve:init skill to start creating a baseline for a new business idea.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a baseline document for a new business idea?▼

To create a baseline document for a new business idea, you can use a guided workflow that interviews you and generates foundational PRD, execution playbook, and benchmark files into your workspace.

What is the best way to structure product requirements for an undefined concept?▼

Structuring product requirements for an undefined concept uses a vague baseline creation mode, where AI assistance guides you through defining execution steps and success metrics to form a solid executable plan.

How do I bootstrap a raw business concept into an actionable development plan?▼

Bootstrapping a raw concept into an actionable plan initializes a self-improvement loop, bridging the gap by writing structured baseline documents for iterative product development directly into your workspace.

Can I generate execution playbooks and benchmark documents if I already have a clear product vision?▼

If you have a clear product vision, you can use the self-described baseline mode to quickly generate execution playbooks and benchmark documents without needing extensive AI interviews to define the structure.

What baseline files do I need to start iterative product development?▼

To start iterative product development, you need three baseline files: a PRD for requirements, an execution playbook for steps, and a benchmark document for measuring success.

Does the baseline initialization process work for scraping real-time trending topics?▼

Yes, baseline initialization works for ideas like scraping real-time trending topics by defining the specific product requirements, execution steps, and success benchmarks needed for that project.
