SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts messy discovery inputs (interviews, feedback, research, tickets) into structured hypotheses, assumptions, and candidate requirements with full traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enables systematic extraction of Observations (OBS), Insights (INS), Hypotheses (HYP), and Assumptions (ASM)
  • Generates Candidate REQs with full discovery lineage for gate 0 approval
  • Provides a repeatable, auditable discovery workflow that integrates with requirement-architect

Quick Start

Ingest raw discovery data and produce DISCOVERY_LOG.md, EXPERIMENTS.md, and CANDIDATE-XXXX entries ready for Gate 0 review.

Frequently Asked Questions about discovery-analyst

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn messy user interviews and feedback into traceable requirements?ā–¼

To turn messy user interviews and feedback into traceable requirements, ingest raw discovery data to systematically extract Observations, Insights, Hypotheses, and Assumptions. This generates candidate requirements with full provenance lineage for gate 0 review.

What is a discovery log and when do I need it for gate 0 review?ā–¼

A discovery log is a structured artifact that preserves discovery provenance by tracking observations, insights, hypotheses, and assumptions. You need it for gate 0 review to provide an auditable workflow before handing off candidate requirements.

How to generate candidate requirements from raw research tickets?ā–¼

To generate candidate requirements from raw research tickets, input the ticket data to extract structured hypotheses and assumptions. The process outputs EXPERIMENTS.md and CANDIDATE-XXXX entries that maintain full discovery lineage for approval.

Can I use discovery-analyst to structure assumptions and hypotheses from research?ā–¼

Yes, you can use discovery-analyst to structure assumptions and hypotheses from research. It applies a systematic extraction process to subjective discovery inputs, converting them into structured artifacts with traceable lineage for downstream handoff.

Does discovery-analyst work with requirement-architect for requirement handoff?ā–¼

Yes, discovery-analyst works with requirement-architect by producing DISCOVERY_LOG.md, EXPERIMENTS.md, and CANDIDATE-XXXX entries. These structured artifacts preserve discovery provenance specifically for seamless handoff to requirement-architect.

What is the best way to document discovery provenance for auditable workflows?ā–¼

The best way to document discovery provenance for auditable workflows is to systematically extract observations and insights from raw data into structured files. This produces traceable artifacts like DISCOVERY_LOG.md that record full lineage for gate 0 approval.
