SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly surface who benefits, who may be harmed, and how those effects might scale so you can address ethical blind spots before committing to a feature or decision.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-ship ethical impact assessment: Maps direct users, indirect parties, third parties, non-users, and future parties to define the real stakeholder field.
  • Dual ethical lenses: Checks both utilitarian net effects and justice/fairness distribution of benefits and burdens.
  • Actionable flags: Produces a short set of 🔴 Block, 🟡 Watch, or 🟢 Note items to guide what needs attention before shipping.

Quick Start

Run ethics-impact-scan on your proposed feature or product decision by telling the AI what you're about to ship and asking it to perform an ethics scan.
