SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python3, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill ensures that project planning artifacts like PRDs, architecture, and epics are complete, consistent, and logically aligned before development begins, preventing costly mid-phase rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Requirements Traceability: Automatically maps Functional Requirements from the PRD to specific epics and stories to identify coverage gaps.
  • Quality Enforcement: Validates epics against best practices, ensuring they deliver user value and are free of forward dependencies or technical-only milestones.
  • UX Alignment: Checks for the existence and architectural support of UX documentation to ensure the user experience is fully accounted for.

Quick Start

Initiate the implementation readiness workflow by telling the assistant to check implementation readiness for the current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate epic alignment and project readiness before development begins?

To validate project readiness, you check implementation artifacts for completeness and traceability, ensuring functional requirements map directly to epics and stories to prevent mid-phase rework.

What is requirements traceability and how does it prevent forward dependencies in epics?

Requirements traceability maps functional requirements from the PRD to specific epics and stories, identifying coverage gaps and enforcing best practices to eliminate forward dependencies and technical-only milestones.

How do I check if my PRD and architecture documentation support UX alignment?

You check UX alignment by validating the existence of UX documentation and verifying that your architecture provides the necessary structural support to fully account for the user experience.

Do I need Python3 to run automated product management validation scripts?

Yes, you need Python3 installed in your environment because the automated validation scripts that enforce structural best practices and traceability across project planning artifacts depend on it.

What's the best way to enforce structural best practices for implementation stories?

The best way to enforce structural best practices is to validate implementation stories against quality rules, ensuring they deliver user value and are free of forward dependencies before development phases begin.
