SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Starting new projects often means rebuilding folder structures, rewriting planning documents from scratch, and losing momentum between sessions. This skill eliminates that overhead by auto-generating project scaffolding and guiding you through collaborative, deep-thinking planning sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Structure Generation: Creates 4 standardized directories (planning, resources, working, outputs) and 3 core planning files with a single command.
  • Adaptive Planning Templates: Injects type-specific sections (Technical Architecture, Research Methodology, etc.) based on whether you're building software, conducting research, or planning strategy.
  • Mental Models Integration: Applies Socratic questioning and Devil's Advocate frameworks to test assumptions and identify risks before you start executing.
  • Dependency Discovery: Automatically scans your codebase and existing skills to surface related files, systems, and projects that will impact your work.

Quick Start

Tell the AI you want to create a new project for your upcoming work, and it will guide you through setting up the structure and filling the planning documents with you.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project scaffolding for standardized directory structures and planning documents?

Automating project scaffolding generates 4 standardized directories (planning, resources, working, outputs) and 3 core planning files with a single command. It requires Python 3.x to execute the initialization script and creates YAML-frontmatter markdown files compatible with the Nexus project management framework.

What is the best way to integrate mental models into structured project planning?

Integrating mental models into structured project planning applies Socratic questioning and Devil's Advocate frameworks to test assumptions and identify risks before execution. This is handled through guided, collaborative planning sessions that adapt templates based on your specific work stream.

Does this project creation tool support software development, research, and content production planning?

This project creation tool supports software development, research, content production, and operational process design. It injects type-specific sections like Technical Architecture or Research Methodology into planning documents to adapt to any new deliverable-based work stream.

How do I discover existing dependencies and related files when starting a new project?

Discovering existing dependencies and related files is handled by an automatic codebase and skills scan. This feature surfaces related files, systems, and projects that will impact your work during the project creation process.

Do I need Python to generate YAML-frontmatter markdown files for project planning?

You need Python 3.x to generate YAML-frontmatter markdown files for project planning. The initialization script requires Python 3.x to execute and create the standardized directory structures and core planning documents.
