SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Transform a vague concept into a detailed, implementation-ready set of requirements through an interactive Q&A workflow that captures decisions, clarifications, and acceptance criteria.

Core Features & Use Cases

Interactive Requirements Clarification: guides users through a structured, one-question-at-a-time interview to elicit complete requirements.
Upfront Parameter & Planning Artifacts: saves the rough idea and the elaboration progress under a dedicated project_dir (default planning) and records decisions in {project_dir}/requirements-elaboration.md.
Reusable Design Content: produces a living set of requirements that can be extended or revisited for future projects or iterations.
Use Case: a product team starts from a rough idea and iteratively refines it into a production-ready spec before any code is written.

Quick Start

Describe your rough idea to begin the interactive requirements elaboration.

FAQPage Schema

How do I turn a rough software idea into implementation-ready requirements?▼

Software requirements elaboration transforms a vague concept into a detailed specification through a structured Q&A workflow. It iteratively clarifies stakeholder needs and records decisions, ensuring all acceptance criteria are captured before development begins.

What is the best way to document software specifications and stakeholder decisions?▼

Documenting stakeholder decisions happens automatically as the interactive interview saves interim results and accepted criteria into a dedicated project directory. This records all clarifications in a living markdown guide for continuous reference.

How do I start interactive requirements elaboration for a new project?▼

To start requirements elaboration, describe your rough idea to initiate the structured, single-question-at-a-time interview. The system collects upfront parameters, defaults the output directory to planning, and iteratively refines your concept into a production-ready spec.

Can I revisit and expand software requirements after the initial specification is generated?▼

Yes, you can revisit and expand software requirements because the process generates a living guide stored as a markdown file. This allows teams to continuously extend the specification or revisit recorded decisions for future project iterations.

Does requirements elaboration support capturing acceptance criteria for production-ready specs?▼

Yes, requirements elaboration supports capturing acceptance criteria by guiding users through a structured interview that elicits complete requirements. This ensures all necessary clarifications and criteria are documented before any code is written.
