SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you explore a feature idea early or revisit a parked one while keeping the work aligned to DAE discipline and producing a clear next action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Divergent brainstorming with guardrails: Guides exploration of intent, scope, and alternatives while surfacing charter signals and decomposition flags as they appear.
  • Outcome-driven workflow: Recommends and records one of three outcomes—drop, park, or promote—without auto-executing user confirmation.
  • Session continuity via handoffs: Supports continuing parked features by loading prior discuss handoffs and updating feature context; emits handoff summaries for park/promote.

Quick Start

Use /engineer.discuss to start a fresh exploration of a new feature idea before writing any committed implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I brainstorm feature ideas with clear outcomes before writing code?

Structured feature ideation uses a divergent brainstorming workflow to explore intent and scope, generating one question per turn until a drop, park, or promote outcome is recommended and recorded into the log.

What is the best way to resume a parked feature discussion using workflow orchestration?

Resuming parked feature discussions requires loading prior handoff context and logs via the feature slug, continuing the brainstorming session, and updating the feature folder with the new outcome.

How does acceptance testing integration work during feature ideation?

Acceptance testing alignment surfaces charter signals and decomposition flags throughout the ideation process, ensuring the recommended outcome respects architecture governance before any feature promotion.

Do I need architecture governance checks before promoting a feature from a brainstorming session?

Yes, feature promotion requires explicit user confirmation after the brainstorming session surfaces decomposition flags, ensuring architecture governance is applied before initializing the feature folder.

When should I drop or park a feature instead of promoting it during ideation?

Dropping or parking a feature is recommended when divergent exploration reveals scope or intent limitations, logging the result as a handoff summary without auto-executing user confirmation.

Can I use spec-driven workflows to manage handoff summaries for parked features?

Yes, spec-driven workflows emit handoff summaries for parked or promoted features, recording the session results into a discussions log to maintain continuity for future resumption.
