SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning a raw project idea or a proposed change to an existing system into a well-structured PRD requires disciplined discovery. This Skill guides users through a phased, question-driven conversation that captures vision, personas, MVP scope, functional requirements, and business logic into a resumable shape-notes.md file that the /10x-prd skill consumes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Greenfield and brownfield auto-detection: Scores the working directory against git history, lockfiles, and manifest files to detect project context and adapt the discovery flow. - Phased discovery with checkpoints: Six phases (vision, access control, MVP discipline, FRs, Socrates challenge round, business logic) write progress to a checkpoint block so interrupted sessions can resume. - Facilitator stance with guardrails: Never invents domain content, surfaces gray areas as multi-select decisions with recommended options, and flags the empty-CRUD anti-pattern and oversized MVP timelines. - Use Case: A developer with an idea for a recipe app runs the skill, answers structured questions about the pain point, persona, and smallest shippable flow, and ends with a schema-conformant shape-notes.md ready for PRD generation. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to shape your idea by saying: run /10x-shape followed by a one-line description of the project or change you want to build.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a project idea into a PRD?

Run /10x-shape with your idea as an argument, then answer the phased discovery questions about the problem, persona, MVP flow, and functional requirements. The skill writes shape-notes.md, which the /10x-prd skill converts into a full PRD.

What is the difference between greenfield and brownfield mode?

Greenfield mode shapes a new project from scratch, while brownfield mode shapes a change to an existing system and captures current system state, preserved behavior, and constraints. The skill auto-detects the mode from git history, lockfiles, and manifest files in the working directory.

Can I resume an interrupted discovery session?

Yes. The skill writes a checkpoint block with current_phase and phases_completed into shape-notes.md frontmatter after every phase. On re-invocation it detects the prior session and offers to resume from the next unfinished phase without replaying completed ones.

When should I not use this discovery skill?

Skip it when the project already has a PRD or ADR set, or when you are reasoning about a single bug, refactor, or small feature that does not warrant a full PRD. In those cases a lighter reframing skill such as /10x-frame is the right tool.

Does the skill decide the tech stack during discovery?

No. The skill never pre-commits to frameworks, databases, or hosting platforms. It captures only product-level priors like product_type, target_scale, and timeline_budget; stack selection happens in a downstream step after the PRD.
