SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Translating vague requirements into precise, executable edicts so teams can plan, implement, and verify complex tasks without ambiguity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured planning: Convert high-level specs into task-by-task plans with ownership, acceptance criteria, and verification steps.
  • Evidence-driven verification: Embed sources, risk notes, and traceable reasoning from source to conclusion.
  • Standardized templates: Use a consistent frontmatter and plan document structure to guide execution and auditing.

Quick Start

Write a complete edict that translates the spec into executable orders and save it to the plan file in your docs directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I translate vague product specifications into executable plans?

Translating vague specifications into executable plans requires structuring requirements into task-by-task edicts with ownership, acceptance criteria, and verification steps. This ensures teams can plan, implement, and verify complex software tasks without ambiguity.

What is the best way to structure a verification workflow for architecture plans?

Structuring a verification workflow for architecture plans involves embedding sources, risk notes, and traceable reasoning into a standardized plan document. This evidence-driven approach connects source specifications to conclusions for reliable execution and auditing.

Do I need YAML frontmatter to create structured documentation for software tasks?

Yes, you need YAML frontmatter containing the name and description fields to create structured documentation. This frontmatter presence is required to ensure plan templates are followed and specifications are correctly translated into executable edicts.

How do I add evidence and risk notes to a specification plan?

Adding evidence and risk notes to a specification plan involves embedding sources and traceable reasoning directly into the per-task structure of the plan document. This evidence-driven verification standardizes execution and guides the auditing process.

Where should I save executable edicts generated from product specs?

Executable edicts generated from product specs should be saved to the plan file located in the Consilium docs directory. Defining this save location ensures the standardized plan document is accessible for execution and auditing.
