SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Discovery of skills is a structured approach to turning tacit patterns into actionable skill definitions by guiding interactive sessions that work through real artifacts, surface key insights, and produce working notes to feed into writing-skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided discovery sessions that move from a concrete artifact to a draft skill and its core pattern.
  • Narration of reasoning and surface of decision points to capture insights and cross-skill implications.
  • Documentation scaffolds for Cross-Skill Notes and a Process Summary to anchor later skill writing and integration with related skills.

Quick Start

Describe a real artifact and the desired outcome, then guide the session to capture insights.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn tacit workflow patterns into actionable skill definitions?

Structured skill discovery sessions use real artifacts to surface tacit workflow patterns and capture decision points, producing working notes that define actionable skills for workflows with unclear processes.

What is the best way to document a workflow prototype with unclear decision points?

The best way to document a workflow prototype with unclear decision points is to narrate reasoning during guided discovery sessions, capturing insights and cross-skill implications into a complete Process Summary scaffold.

How do I start a skill discovery session using a real artifact?

To start a skill discovery session, describe a concrete real artifact and the desired outcome, then guide the session to capture insights, surface decision points, and document cross-skill notes for later integration.

When do I need to use a structured skill discovery process?

You need a structured skill discovery process when you have workflows with unclear decision points where tacit patterns must be extracted from real artifacts to ensure cross-skill implications are captured prior to writing the skill.

Does discovering skills require dependencies or specific components to run?

Discovering skills requires no external dependencies or specific components, operating as an advanced standalone reasoning process to guide artifact-based discovery sessions and generate documentation scaffolds for downstream writing.
