SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the generation of essential project specification documents, transforming raw research into actionable plans and designs, thereby streamlining the early stages of software development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Artifact Generation: Creates four key documents: proposal, tech-stack, spec, and design.
  • Interactive Collaboration: Guides the user through each artifact, seeking approval at every step.
  • Data-Driven: Leverages research findings to ensure generated artifacts are well-informed and aligned.
  • Use Case: After conducting market research for a new feature, use this Skill to generate a detailed proposal, select the appropriate technology stack, define user stories and requirements, and outline the system design, all through an interactive session.

Quick Start

Use the c4flow:spec skill to generate a project proposal based on the research document found at docs/specs/new-feature/research.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate project specifications from research findings?

You can generate project specifications by feeding research findings into an interactive session that produces proposal, tech-stack, spec, and design documents. The tool parses your research data to ensure each artifact is well-informed and aligned with your software development workflow.

What is the best way to structure technical design documents for a new software feature?

The best way to structure technical design documents is through interactive collaboration that builds artifacts sequentially. This approach generates a proposal, selects a tech-stack, defines specifications, and outlines system design, requiring your approval at each step to ensure completeness.

Can I use research markdown files to create a software development proposal and tech stack?

Yes, you can parse existing research markdown files to create a software development proposal and tech stack. The generator leverages these research findings to inform each artifact, ensuring the proposal and technology choices align with your documented research.

How does interactive project planning work for software development workflows?

Interactive project planning works by guiding you through each specification artifact iteratively, seeking feedback and approval before proceeding. This collaborative process transforms raw research into actionable plans and structured design documents for software development.

Do I need prior research documents to generate a detailed project spec?

You need prior research documents to generate a detailed project spec because the tool parses these findings to inform each artifact. Without research data, the interactive generation cannot ensure the proposal, tech-stack, and design documents are well-informed.

What are the limitations of automated spec generation for technical design?

A limitation of automated spec generation is that it requires iterative user feedback and approval for each section, meaning it cannot produce a complete technical design autonomously. The process depends on human collaboration to validate alignment and completeness.
