SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Transforms a source document (milestone brief, PRD, feature request, or raw prompt) into rigorous, implementation-agnostic behavioral specifications. Each spec becomes the source of truth for downstream coding agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Converts narrative inputs into structured behavioral specs.
  • Maintains a central glossary and per-epic constraints to ensure vocabulary and boundaries stay consistent.
  • Supports epic splitting when more than a dozen features are implied, producing specs for each epic and cross-epic references as needed.

Quick Start

Paste your source document to generate a complete first-draft spec in the required format.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a PRD into behavioral specifications for coding agents?

To convert a PRD into behavioral specifications, paste the source document to generate implementation-agnostic specs, glossaries, and per-epic constraints that serve as the single source of truth for downstream coding agents.

What is the best way to structure requirements engineering for large feature requests?

The best way to structure requirements engineering for large feature requests is splitting inputs into epics when more than a dozen features are implied, producing individual specs and cross-epic references to maintain consistent boundaries.

Can I use raw prompts to generate product management epics and domain glossaries?

Yes, you can use raw prompts to generate product management epics and domain glossaries. The process transforms narrative inputs into structured behavioral specs while maintaining a central glossary to ensure vocabulary stays consistent.

Does this behavioral spec approach enforce no-code outputs for auditable workflows?

Yes, this behavioral spec approach enforces no-code, behavior-only outputs. It satisfies frontmatter-driven spec file requirements and uses explicit tagging for unresolved decisions to support auditable workflows.

What happens when a milestone brief implies unresolved product decisions during spec generation?

When a milestone brief implies unresolved product decisions during spec generation, the resulting behavioral specifications include explicit tagging for those unresolved decisions to support auditable workflows and guide engineering.

When should I split a feature request into multiple epics during specification?

You should split a feature request into multiple epics during specification when the source document implies more than a dozen features, which produces specs for each epic and cross-epic references as needed.
