SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning raw product ideas, scattered documents, and brainstorming notes into a polished executive product brief requires structured facilitation and research that most teams skip or do inconsistently. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Mode Discovery: Supports guided conversational discovery, yolo mode (draft first, refine later), and fully autonomous headless execution via flags. - Parallel Context Gathering: Fans out subagents to analyze project artifacts and perform web research on competitors, market trends, and user sentiment. - Multi-Lens Review: Runs drafts through skeptic, opportunity, and contextual reviewer lenses before presenting to the user. - Use Case: A founder with brainstorming notes and market research invokes the skill, answers a few targeted questions, and receives a 1-2 page executive product brief plus a token-efficient distillate ready for PRD creation. ## Quick Start Ask your AI assistant to create a product brief for your product idea and provide any existing documents or research you have.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create a product brief with an AI assistant?▼

Invoke the skill and describe your product idea or provide existing documents. It guides you through discovery questions, analyzes your artifacts and web research, then drafts a 1-2 page executive brief reviewed by multiple lenses.

What is the difference between guided, yolo, and autonomous modes?▼

Guided mode uses conversational discovery with soft checkpoints. Yolo mode drafts the complete brief upfront then refines with you. Autonomous mode runs headless from structured inputs with no interaction, outputting file paths as JSON.

Can I update an existing product brief instead of creating one?▼

Yes. Provide the path to your existing brief or say update, revise, or edit. The skill reads it fully, asks what changed, and runs the normal workflow focused on gaps and changes to produce an updated version.

What is the product brief distillate file used for?▼

The distillate is a token-efficient markdown file capturing overflow detail like rejected ideas, requirements hints, technical constraints, and open questions. It is structured specifically as input context for downstream PRD creation workflows.

What happens if subagents are unavailable during execution?▼

The skill degrades gracefully by reading only the most relevant one or two documents inline, running a few targeted web searches directly, and performing all review passes sequentially in the main context.
