SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Brainstorming & design orchestration to transform vague ideas into concrete designs and specs through structured, collaborative dialogue.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Explore project context: inspect files, docs, and recent commits to ground discussion.
  • Ask clarifying questions: one question at a time to capture purpose, constraints, and success criteria.
  • Propose 2-3 approaches: present options with trade-offs and a recommended path.
  • Present design & write spec: deliver design sections and a follow-on spec draft for review and approval.
  • Transition to implementation planning: dispatch planning steps to move from design to execution.

Quick Start

Start by outlining the project goal and known context, then guide the discussion through questions, approaches, and design validation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn vague project ideas into actionable design specs?

To turn vague ideas into actionable design specs, use structured ideation to clarify purpose, constraints, and success criteria. It guides you through context gathering, clarifying questions, and proposing multiple approaches before writing a spec draft for approval.

What is the best way to structure brainstorming for early product planning?

The best way to structure brainstorming for product planning is through a disciplined workflow. It enforces sequential steps covering context gathering, targeted questions, approach evaluation, design validation, and a final transition to implementation planning.

Can I use structured ideation to review project context and recent commits?

Yes, structured ideation can inspect project files, docs, and recent commits during the context gathering phase. This grounds the brainstorming discussion in your actual codebase and existing documentation before proposing design approaches.

How do I evaluate design trade-offs before moving to implementation?

To evaluate design trade-offs before implementation, propose two to three approaches with clear pros and cons. The workflow recommends a specific path, delivers design sections, and drafts a spec for review and approval before dispatching execution steps.

Does structured design exploration work for collaborative requirements gathering?

Yes, structured design exploration works for collaborative requirements gathering by asking clarifying questions one at a time. This captures project purpose, constraints, and success criteria through focused dialogue before drafting the final design specification.
