SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps domain experts identify valuable professional pain points and translate their experience into a focused, buildable software product instead of starting with an unfocused feature list.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pain Discovery: Evaluate professional problems by frequency, intensity, market size, willingness to pay, and buildability.
  • Workflow Specification: Convert a painful task into a clear user workflow, happy path, edge cases, success criteria, and a narrowest viable product scope.
  • Market Validation: Separate personal preferences from shared market needs and create non-leading peer surveys to validate demand before building.
  • Use Case: A contractor can describe the time-consuming process of tracking project documents, then use the Skill to define a focused document workflow and survey other contractors about the same pain.

Quick Start

Use the translate skill to turn my professional experience as a [profession] and this pain point, [describe the painful task], into a focused SaaS opportunity and a buildable feature specification.
