SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams uncover and articulate tacit knowledge from users before writing formal specifications, reducing ambiguity and misalignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided discovery: Conducts a structured dialogue to surface unstated requirements.
  • Trade-off capture: Generates trade-off considerations and decision summaries for /spec handoff.
  • Early constraint validation: Identifies technical and business constraints to guide scope.
  • Use Case: Before drafting /spec, run /clarify to produce a clean set of user intents and constraints.

Quick Start

Ask clarifying questions to surface tacit requirements before drafting the spec.

FAQPage Schema
How do I elicit tacit requirements before drafting a formal specification?

To elicit tacit requirements before drafting a formal specification, this Skill conducts a structured discovery dialogue to surface unstated user intents and early constraints, reducing ambiguity and misalignment. It outputs a structured summary for spec handoff.

What is the best way to capture trade-offs during requirements discovery?

The best way to capture trade-offs during requirements discovery is to run a guided dialogue that identifies technical and business constraints. This Skill generates a dedicated trade-off table and decisions summary to guide scope definition before spec drafting.

How do I prepare a structured handoff for formal spec drafting?

Prepare a structured handoff for formal spec drafting by running a guided discovery process that validates early constraints. This Skill produces a ready-to-transfer output containing user intents, a trade-off table, and decision summaries for direct spec integration.

When do I need to run requirements clarification in early specification workflows?

You need to run requirements clarification in early specification workflows when you must uncover unstated business constraints before writing formal specs. It is applied across discovery, definition, and trade-off exploration to ensure user intents are fully articulated.

Can I use this for early constraint validation before writing a spec?

Yes, you can use this for early constraint validation before writing a spec. It identifies technical and business constraints through a structured dialogue, ensuring that scope is guided by validated user intents rather than assumptions during the discovery phase.

What is tacit knowledge discovery and how does it reduce ambiguity in specs?

Tacit knowledge discovery is the process of surfing unstated user requirements through structured dialogue. It reduces ambiguity in specs by articulating hidden intents and constraints early, producing a clean set of validated requirements before formal drafting begins.
