SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams plan deep-research investigations by turning the current context and reference materials into a structured discovery plan that guides execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a formal discovery plan saved at knowledge-base/discoveries/plans/{slug}-plan.md
  • Enforce four-corner coverage, Step 0-4 protocol, and ADRs to document decisions
  • Produce a template-driven blueprint for /discover-execute and a plan-for-review cycle

Quick Start

Invoke /discover-plan {topic-slug} to generate a plan and save it at knowledge-base/discoveries/plans/{slug}-plan.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a discovery plan for multiple reference projects?

You can create a structured discovery plan by turning your current context and reference projects into a formal blueprint saved at knowledge-base/discoveries/plans/{slug}-plan.md, defining in-scope targets, four-corner coverage, and ADRs.

What is four-corner coverage when planning a deep research investigation?

Four-corner coverage is an enforced protocol within the discovery plan that ensures your investigation comprehensively evaluates all defined in-scope targets across multiple reference projects before execution begins.

How do I document architecture decisions during the discovery planning phase?

You document architecture decisions by generating ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) within the formal discovery plan, ensuring all technical decisions are recorded alongside the investigation targets and reference citations.

Do I need a specific SKILL.md protocol to generate a discovery plan?

Yes, generating a discovery plan requires a well-formed SKILL.md with a Step 0-4 protocol and a 5-10 question budget to properly guide the investigation planning and subsequent execution phases.

Can I use this discovery plan to directly execute my research investigation?

The discovery plan produces a template-driven blueprint specifically designed to guide the /discover-execute command, providing a structured plan-for-review cycle that directs the downstream execution of your research investigation.

How do I ensure my discovery plan citations point to real reference materials?

The discovery plan generation process validates that all citations point to real knowledge-base references located under knowledge-base/references, ensuring the investigation is grounded in actual project documentation.
