SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This workflow closes the gap between an author's tacit knowledge and what collaborators or readers need to understand, reducing repetitive revisions, confusing handoffs, and unnoticed assumptions in technical specs, proposals, and decision documents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-stage guided process: context gathering, iterative refinement & structure, and reader testing to catch blind spots.
  • Clarifying question generation: produces targeted 5–10 gap-filling questions after an initial info dump.
  • Section-by-section drafting and iterative edits: brainstorm options, curate selections, draft content, and apply surgical edits without reprinting the whole document.
  • Reader testing guidance: predicts reader questions and provides a process to test the document with a fresh reader instance or manual instructions.
  • Use Case: drafting a design doc or RFC where stakeholders need concise decisions and external reviewers must be able to understand the document without author context.

Quick Start

Begin by telling the assistant: I want to co-author a design doc; please guide me through context gathering, section drafting, and reader testing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I co-author technical specs and design docs to ensure reader clarity?

Co-authoring technical specs requires structured context gathering, iterative section-by-section drafting, and reader testing to catch blind spots. This workflow guides collaborative document creation through targeted clarifying questions and surgical edits without reprinting the whole document.

What is the best way to draft an RFC without needing to provide author context to reviewers?

The best way to draft an RFC is using a three-stage process: context gathering, iterative refinement, and reader testing. This approach predicts reader questions and validates the document with a fresh reader instance, ensuring external reviewers understand it without author context.

Can I apply surgical edits to specific sections of a proposal without reprinting the entire document?

Yes, you can apply surgical edits to specific sections of a proposal. The workflow supports section-by-section drafting, allowing you to brainstorm options, curate selections, and update editable artifacts iteratively without reprinting the whole document.

How do I identify missing information when drafting a PRD?

To identify missing information when drafting a PRD, generate targeted clarifying questions after an initial info dump. This workflow produces 5-10 gap-filling questions to extract tacit knowledge and reduce unnoticed assumptions in the document.

Does collaborative document creation support reading shared documents via connectors?

Yes, collaborative document creation supports reading shared documents via connectors. It can read existing artifacts, create and update editable documents, and orchestrate iterative editing workflows for technical specs and proposals.
