SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill converts sparring outcomes from the 5D-SDD workflow into a concrete, multi-perspective plan that guides teams before committing to technical specifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan crystallization: Translates SPAR results into a single PLAN.md with problem, proposed solution, assumptions, thinking level, dependencies, alternatives, quadrant coverage, and time horizons.
  • Stakeholder alignment: Ensures alignment across Individual Outer, Individual Inner, Collective Outer, and Collective Inner perspectives.
  • Versioned planning: Produces a standalone PLAN.md ready for review and iteration.

Quick Start

Create a PLAN.md document that defines the problem, proposed solution, and plan dependencies after completing the SPAR phase. Then share the PLAN.md with stakeholders for alignment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert SPAR outcomes into a planning document for stakeholder alignment?

Convert SPAR outcomes into a planning document by translating sparring results into a standalone PLAN.md that captures problem statements, proposed solutions, assumptions, and stakeholder perspectives to guide commitment before specification.

What is the best way to document project assumptions and alternatives before technical specification?

Document project assumptions and alternatives by generating a PLAN.md that records proposed solutions, thinking depth, dependencies, alternatives, quadrant coverage, and time horizons to ensure multi-perspective alignment before technical specification.

When do I need a multi-perspective plan for stakeholder alignment?

You need a multi-perspective plan when translating post-SPAR outcomes into a concrete PLAN.md, ensuring alignment across Individual Outer, Individual Inner, Collective Outer, and Collective Inner perspectives before committing to specifications.

How to create a PLAN.md that covers quadrant coverage and time horizons?

Create a PLAN.md by defining a clear problem statement and explicit plan structure, then documenting the proposed solution, thinking depth, dependencies, alternatives, quadrant coverage, and time horizons for stakeholder review.

Does the 5d-plan Skill require a completed SPAR phase to generate documentation?

Yes, generating documentation requires a completed SPAR phase with a clearly defined problem statement and explicit plan structure to produce a standalone PLAN.md for stakeholder alignment and iteration.

Can I use this planning approach without explicit dependencies and thinking depth defined?

No, this planning approach requires explicit plan structure including defined dependencies, thinking depth, assumptions, and alternatives to produce a concrete PLAN.md that effectively guides commitment before specification.
