What problem does it solve? Systems engineers working on FAA acquisitions need the Systems Engineering Manual's guidance mid-task but cannot recall its details on demand. This Skill loads reconstructed reference notes from the FAA SEM v1.0.1 so an agent can answer questions about the AMS lifecycle, requirements processes, technical management disciplines, and specialty engineering directly from the source material. ## Core Features & Use Cases - AMS Lifecycle Guidance: Covers the five-phase Acquisition Management System lifecycle, its five decision points, and the requirements maturity ratchet (pPRD to iPRD to fPRD). - Front-End SE Processes: Explains operational concept development, implementation-free functional analysis with FFBD and N-squared diagrams, and requirements analysis (PRS to MRS, VRTM, CPRs). - Technical Management & Specialty Disciplines: Details the seven technical management disciplines (SEMP, interface management, RIO risk, configuration management, SEIM, decision analysis, V&V) plus RMA via Service Threads, human factors, information security via the NIST RMF, and system safety via the SMS. - Use Case: Ask "what gates the Final Investment Decision" and receive the SEM's answer: an approved fPRD with an 80%-stable requirements set, with CPRs copied verbatim into the Acquisition Program Baseline. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to explain how the FAA SEM distinguishes a risk from an issue and which plan strategies apply to each.
