SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams avoid misaligned work by prompting for essential clarifications before starting any implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Must-have questions first: Identifies and requests the minimal set of questions needed to resolve ambiguity.
  • Risk reduction: Reduces rework by clarifying objective, scope, constraints, environment, and safety.
  • Use Case: When a request lacks objective, scope, or constraints, the skill guides the user to provide the necessary details.

Quick Start

Respond when you detect an underspecified request. Provide 1-5 must-have questions in a compact list to clarify: 1) Objective? 2) Scope? 3) Constraints? 4) Environment? 5) Safety considerations?

FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify underspecified requirements before starting project work?▼

To clarify underspecified requirements, prompt a minimal set of must-have questions covering the objective, scope, constraints, environment, and safety considerations. This ensures essential ambiguities are resolved before implementation begins.

What questions should I ask to reduce risk when project scope is unclear?▼

To reduce risk when project scope is unclear, ask targeted questions about the objective, scope boundaries, constraints, environment, and safety considerations. Requesting these must-have answers early prevents misaligned work and rework.

Why does development work start without clear objectives and constraints?▼

Development work starts without clear objectives and constraints when underspecified requests bypass discovery. Prompting essential clarifying questions ensures the minimal must-have information is gathered before work proceeds.

Can I use automated questioning to handle ambiguous feature requests?▼

Yes, you can use automated questioning to handle ambiguous feature requests by detecting underspecified inputs and automatically prompting 1-5 compact must-have questions about scope, environment, and safety.

What is the best way to do requirements discovery for a new workflow?▼

The best way to do requirements discovery for a new workflow is prompting a focused list of must-have questions. Clarifying the objective, scope, constraints, and environment minimizes ambiguity and reduces project risk.
