SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams and engineers find and apply relevant first-principle and correctness principles from a structured knowledge hierarchy so decisions are grounded in documented guidance rather than ad-hoc intuition.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hierarchical retrieval: Searches Pack, SPF, and FPF sources with a defined fallback chain to locate applicable principles for a given query.
  • Mode-aware responses: Supports lookup, review, design, and characterization modes to produce exact references, artifact checks, design recommendations, or comparative criteria.
  • Engineering translation & citation: Translates FPF jargon into engineering-equivalent language and includes file or GitHub paths for each cited principle to support verifiable decisions.
  • Use Case: Run before an architecture decision to surface relevant first principles, validate a design against correctness rules, or compare alternatives using consistent criteria.

Quick Start

Load applicable FPF principles for database sharding strategy and explain how to apply them to the current architecture decision.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply first-principle design rules to an architecture decision?

To apply first principles, load applicable rules from a Pack, SPF, and FPF knowledge hierarchy to surface source-linked guidance for architectural decisions. The Skill translates FPF terminology into engineering language and provides file paths for each cited principle to ensure decisions are grounded.

How can I validate a design against correctness principles?

Validate a design by searching the hierarchical knowledge base in review mode to perform artifact checks against documented correctness rules. It provides exact references and fallback strategies to locate applicable principles for artifact validation and design reviews.

What is the best way to compare architectural alternatives using consistent criteria?

Compare architectural alternatives using characterization mode to retrieve comparative criteria from a structured FPF knowledge base. This approach ensures alternatives are evaluated using consistent criteria grounded in documented first principles rather than ad-hoc intuition.

How does retrieval work when a specific principle is missing from the knowledge base?

Retrieval uses a defined fallback chain across Pack, SPF, and FPF sources to locate applicable principles when a specific one is missing. This hierarchical search strategy ensures reliable results across the structured knowledge base for engineering queries.

Do I need a structured knowledge base to use first-principle design retrieval?

Yes, you need a structured Pack, SPF, and FPF knowledge base to retrieve first-principle design rules. The Skill queries this existing hierarchy to translate jargon into engineering language and provide verifiable file paths for each citation.
