SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users transform vague ideas into well-defined RFCs or technical proposals by guiding them through a structured ideation process before any writing begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Problem Discovery: Uncovers the root cause, triggers, and impact of a problem.
  • Stakeholder & Constraint Mapping: Identifies who is involved and what limitations exist.
  • Alternative Exploration: Generates and evaluates multiple approaches with their trade-offs.
  • Use Case: You have a general idea for a new feature but aren't sure about the best technical approach or the full scope. Use this skill to collaboratively explore the problem space, define constraints, and identify potential solutions before drafting a formal RFC.

Quick Start

Use the brainstorming-rfc skill to explore a new feature idea.

FAQPage Schema
How do I brainstorm technical proposals before writing an RFC?

To brainstorm technical proposals before writing an RFC, use a guided dialogue to explore the problem space, identify stakeholders, and map constraints. This structured ideation process generates notes to define your RFC drafting.

What is the best way to define a problem space for a new feature RFC?

The best way to define a problem space for a new feature RFC is through problem discovery, which uncovers the root cause, triggers, and impact of the problem before evaluating alternative technical approaches and their trade-offs.

How do I identify constraints and stakeholders for a technical design document?

To identify constraints and stakeholders for a technical design document, engage in stakeholder and constraint mapping during pre-RFC ideation. This process clarifies who is involved and what limitations exist for your technical proposal.

Can I explore alternative technical approaches and their trade-offs before drafting an RFC?

Yes, you can explore alternative technical approaches and their trade-offs before drafting an RFC. Alternative exploration evaluates multiple potential solutions during ideation to ensure you select the best technical design for your proposal.

When do I need a structured ideation process for technical documentation?

You need a structured ideation process for technical documentation when you have a general idea for a new feature but are unsure of the best technical approach or full scope, helping transform vague ideas into well-defined RFCs.
