SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps product teams and business stakeholders translate ambiguous ideas into a clear Business Requirements Document (BRD) by guiding structured interviews, capturing intent, and ensuring decisions are MECE and traceable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Interview Flow: Phase-based interview process from intent capture (Phase 0) to BRD readiness, reducing scattered notes.
  • MECE Question Bank: Uses mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive questions to cover all angles without redundancy.
  • BRD Template Output: Produces a ready-to-edit BRD draft using a consistent BRD template, ensuring WHAT and WHY are clearly documented.
  • Industry Reference Load: Optional integration with industry knowledge references to tailor interviews for specific domains (e.g., Fintech, Healthcare, SaaS).

Use cases include: a product manager collecting stakeholder needs, a consultant turning executive briefings into BRD, and a BRD-to-PRD handoff.

Quick Start

Begin by asking the stakeholder for a one-sentence intent, then follow the defined interview phases to generate a BRD draft using assets/brd-template.md.
