SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Interactive planning requires translating operator intent into a concrete, Skeptic-eligible Brief before architects and engineers are engaged. This Skill ensures early alignment, guards against scope ambiguity, and creates a reusable artifact for downstream planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-invocation on planning signals to initiate a structured brief dialogue.
  • Gray-area dialogue with a persisted brief-session state, including a ready-to-edit Brief draft and a final artifact at docs/planning/<slug>.md.
  • Seamless hand-off to architect and Skeptic with a pre-populated brief_path in the execution contract, and governance around verification and open questions.

Typical use cases include initiating new features from vague ideas, capturing requirements into a formal Brief, and producing a ready-to-review artifact for engineering teams.

Quick Start

Start a planning session by sending /brief <topic> to begin creating a Skeptic-eligible Brief.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert vague planning ideas into actionable engineering briefs?

Interactive planning translates vague ideas into actionable briefs through structured multi-turn dialogue. It guides operators by handling gray areas, capturing requirements, and generating a concrete planning artifact for downstream engineering teams.

What is the best way to create a formal planning artifact before engaging architects?

Creating a formal planning artifact involves running an interactive dialogue that captures operator intent and resolves scope ambiguity. This process ensures early alignment and produces a reusable document ready for architectural review and execution.

How do I start a planning session to capture project requirements into a markdown file?

Start a planning session by issuing a command with your topic to initiate the dialogue. The system persists the session state and outputs a ready-to-edit markdown draft at a designated planning path for immediate review.

Can I use interactive dialogue to handle scope ambiguity in product workflows?

Interactive dialogue handles scope ambiguity in product workflows by guiding multi-turn conversations around gray areas. It persists session state continuously, ensuring all open questions are resolved before finalizing the planning document.

Does the planning artifact integrate seamlessly with downstream architect and Skeptic flows?

The planning artifact integrates with downstream flows by pre-populating a brief path in the execution contract. This enables seamless hand-off to architect and Skeptic components, governing verification and resolving open questions.

When do I need a formal brief artifact for engineering hand-off?

A formal brief artifact is needed when initiating new features from vague ideas to ensure early alignment. It guards against scope ambiguity and provides a structured, reviewable document before architects and engineers are engaged.
