SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines Phase 3 by converting a Discovery Frame, Investigate findings, and risk signals into a structured, auditable memo and a decision gate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Options table generation: renders a 3-5 row table with Kill as the first row and up to four alternatives (Pivot, Proceed, Defer, etc.).
  • Risk-rule driven recommendation: applies the Cagan Four Risks rules to select a recommended option with a stated confidence, citing evidence from risk-analyst outputs.
  • Approval gate (RAPID style): presents the options and recommended choice to a human for final decision, preserving authority.
  • Memo and session updates: writes the Decision, Open Questions for Delivery, and updates memo.md and session metadata accordingly.
  • Resumable workflow: supports resuming paused/escalated sessions via --resume.

Quick Start

Run /discovery-synthesizer DISC-NNN to generate the option table and draft the memo for Phase 3 Decide.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert discovery session findings into a decision-ready product management memo?

To convert discovery findings into a decision-ready memo, you need a tool that synthesizes session data and risk signals into a structured document. This Skill generates an options table and a risk-rule driven recommendation, updating your memo.md file directly for human approval.

What is the best way to structure a product decision options table for an approval gate?

Structuring a product decision options table requires rendering three to five rows with 'Kill' as the first row, followed by alternatives like 'Pivot', 'Proceed', or 'Defer'. This approach applies Phase-3 rules to present a clear, auditable choice for human gatekeeping.

Can I apply the Cagan Four Risks framework to generate a product recommendation with confidence?

Applying the Cagan Four Risks framework allows you to generate a recommended option with stated confidence by citing evidence from risk analyst outputs. This ensures your product recommendation is auditable and directly tied to identified risk signals.

Do I need existing risk analyst outputs and session data to generate a discovery decision memo?

Generating a discovery decision memo requires access to existing risk analyst outputs, session data, and the .agent-session/<spec_id>/memo.md file. These inputs provide the necessary discovery frames and investigate findings to synthesize a valid decision gate.

How do I resume a paused or escalated product discovery workflow session?

Resuming a paused or escalated product discovery workflow session is done using the --resume flag. This allows you to pick up the Phase-3 decision process and continue updating the session history and memo without losing prior context.

Why does my discovery synthesis memo not include open questions for delivery?

A discovery synthesis memo omits open questions for delivery when the session data or risk analyst outputs are incomplete. The tool writes these open questions alongside the final decision to ensure delivery teams have clear guidance after the approval gate.
