SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning a raw product idea into a clear, honest, right-sized product brief is hard: assumptions go unexamined, key context stays in the founder's head, and drafts either pad or miss what downstream teams need. This Skill coaches users through creating, updating, or validating a brief so the output reflects their own thinking. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three intent modes: Create a new brief from scratch, Update an existing brief against a change signal, or Validate a brief with honest, line-cited critique. - Coached discovery: Conversational brain-dump facilitation with web-research subagents, pushback on thin assumptions, and a choice between a fast path (assumption-tagged draft) and a coaching path (section-by-section). - Persistent workspace: Each run writes brief.md, an optional addendum.md, and an append-only .memlog.md audit trail, supporting stop-and-resume across sessions and headless (non-interactive) execution with JSON status output. - Use Case: A founder preparing an investor pitch describes their idea; the Skill surfaces gaps, drafts a 1-2 page brief with an addendum for deeper detail, and logs every decision for later PRD work. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you create a product brief for your product idea and answer its discovery questions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a product brief with AI assistance?

Invoke the skill and describe your product idea in a brain dump. The facilitator asks discovery questions, runs web research on the landscape, then drafts a brief you refine together, choosing either a fast assumption-tagged draft or section-by-section coaching.

How do I validate an existing product brief?

Use the validate intent: the skill reads the brief, its addendum, memlog, and original inputs, then returns an honest inline critique citing specific lines. It always offers to roll findings into an update afterward.

Can I update a product brief after requirements change?

Yes. The update mode reconciles the existing brief with your change signal, surfaces conflicts with prior logged decisions before editing, and records every change in the memlog. Fundamental changes trigger an offer to create a fresh brief instead.

Does the product brief skill work without interactive conversation?

Yes, headless mode completes the detected intent using provided materials and workspace contents without prompting. It ends with a JSON status block listing intent and artifact paths, or halts with a blocked status if intent is ambiguous.

What are the limitations of an AI-generated product brief?

Briefs are right-sized to purpose and capped at 1-2 pages, so deep market sizing or exhaustive teardowns are deferred to a dedicated deep-research skill. Validation also caveats anything that cannot be evaluated from available inputs.
