SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Converts existing PRDs into comprehensive technical specifications, translating product requirements into architectural decisions and implementation guidance to align engineering and product teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deep PRD analysis to extract technical requirements, constraints, and success criteria.
  • Architecture planning, interface definitions, and data model recommendations based on the PRD.
  • Research-driven spec creation using Context7 MCP and web searches for business rules.
  • Tech spec generation using the provided template and saving to tasks/prd-[feature-slug]/techspec.md.
  • Use when asked to create a tech spec, define architecture, or plan implementation for a feature with an existing PRD; not for PRD creation, task breakdowns, or direct code implementation.

Quick Start

Provide the feature slug and the PRD path (e.g., tasks/prd-<feature-slug>/prd.md) to generate the Tech Spec.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PRD into a technical specification for architecture planning?

To convert a PRD into a technical spec, provide the feature slug and PRD file path. The system analyzes repository context, extracts technical constraints, and generates an actionable tech spec saved as a markdown file.

What is the process for translating product requirements into implementation guidance?

Translating product requirements into implementation guidance involves deep PRD analysis, technical clarifications, and standards mapping. It yields architecture planning, interface definitions, and data model recommendations within a formal tech spec document.

Can I use this to generate task breakdowns or write code directly from a PRD?

No, you cannot use this to generate task breakdowns or write code directly. It is strictly designed to translate an existing PRD into a comprehensive technical specification that guides architecture and implementation planning.

Do I need an existing PRD file before creating a technical spec?

Yes, you need an existing PRD file path before creating a technical spec. The system validates the provided PRD path and uses it as the foundational input to extract requirements, constraints, and success criteria for the architecture plan.

How does the tool handle business rules during technical spec generation?

During technical spec generation, the tool handles business rules by conducting research-driven spec creation. It uses web searches and Context7 MCP to map business rules into technical standards and architecture decisions accurately.
