SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This workflow closes the gap between author knowledge and reader understanding by guiding users through context gathering, iterative drafting, and reader-focused testing so documents are clear and actionable before they are shared.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context Gathering: Elicit background, constraints, stakeholders, and artifacts so the author and the assistant share the same mental model.
  • Refinement & Structure: Iteratively brainstorm, curate, draft, and surgically edit each section with targeted clarifying questions and scaffold creation.
  • Reader Testing: Verify readability and catch blind spots by testing the document with an isolated reader agent or providing manual test instructions.
  • Use Cases: Writing a technical spec, drafting a decision doc or RFC, preparing a proposal or PRD that must be clear to cross-functional stakeholders.

Quick Start

Use the doc-coauthoring workflow to gather context, build the document section-by-section, and run reader testing to validate clarity before publishing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a technical spec collaboratively to ensure it is clear for stakeholders?

To draft a technical spec collaboratively, use a workflow that gathers context first, iteratively builds each section, and runs reader-testing to validate clarity before sharing with stakeholders.

What is the best way to test a decision document for readability before publishing?

The best way to test a decision document for readability is using an isolated reader agent to simulate audience comprehension or providing manual test instructions to catch blind spots before publishing.

How do I refine a proposal draft and generate clarifying questions for missing context?

Refine a proposal draft by iteratively brainstorming and surgically editing sections, which generates targeted clarifying questions to resolve missing context and align the artifact with stakeholder expectations.

Can I use this coauthoring workflow to build a PRD section-by-section?

Yes, you can use this coauthoring workflow to build a PRD section-by-section. It supports iterative section drafting and scaffold creation to manage complex proposals effectively.

When do I need reader-testing for an RFC, and what limitations should I anticipate?

You need reader-testing for an RFC when cross-functional clarity is critical. A limitation to anticipate is that isolated sub-agents simulate but cannot perfectly replicate the exact perspective of every human stakeholder.

Does collaborative document creation work without external dependencies for artifact management?

Yes, collaborative document creation works without external dependencies. The workflow handles artifact creation and surgical edits natively, requiring no additional modules to manage drafting tasks.
