SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill acts as your AI design partner to refine vague improvement ideas into concrete, actionable implementation plans for your Dex system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Idea Workshop: Transforms high-level suggestions into detailed requirements and implementation strategies.
  • Capability Analysis: Identifies relevant Claude Code features and patterns to leverage.
  • Gap Identification: Suggests adjacent improvements and potential synergies.
  • Use Case: You have a thought like "I wish Dex handled meeting follow-ups better." This Skill will help you define exactly what "better" means, identify the best Claude Code features to achieve it, and outline the steps to build it.

Quick Start

Use dex-improve to workshop the idea of better meeting action item capture.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn vague system improvement ideas into actionable implementation plans?▼

Workshopping system improvements involves analyzing high-level requirements and mapping them to available capabilities like hooks, sub-agents, and MCP integrations. This refines vague suggestions into structured implementation plans through iterative questioning and capability scanning.

What is the best way to map system requirements to Claude Code capabilities?▼

Mapping requirements to Claude Code capabilities involves scanning available features like hooks, sub-agents, and MCP integrations. This capability analysis identifies relevant patterns to leverage, ensuring the system design aligns with native platform extensibility.

How do I workshop system design ideas to find missing requirements and gaps?▼

Workshopping system design ideas refines high-level suggestions through focused questioning to identify gaps. This process suggests adjacent improvements and potential synergies, ensuring the final implementation strategy covers missing requirements before development begins.

Can I use Claude Code hooks and sub-agents for workflow optimization?▼

Yes, Claude Code hooks and sub-agents can be used for workflow optimization. Analyzing improvement requirements allows you to map specific optimization goals directly to these capabilities, integrating them into a structured implementation plan for system enhancements.

Do I need a detailed specification before starting system improvement planning?▼

No, you do not need a detailed specification before starting system improvement planning. The workshopping process is designed to take high-level or vague ideas and iteratively refine them into detailed requirements and actionable implementation strategies.
