SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents vague or risky plans from moving forward by forcing early clarification through relentless, assumption-checking questions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Relentless plan interrogation: Challenges every aspect of a design until you reach shared understanding.
  • Branch-by-branch design walkthrough: Walks down the design tree and resolves dependencies between decisions one-by-one.
  • Codebase-aware questioning: If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, it prioritizes codebase exploration over speculation.
  • Small-batch questioning: Keeps questions concise and grouped to maintain momentum while improving accuracy.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to grill your plan and resolve each dependency one-by-one, using the codebase whenever possible, until you share a clear understanding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test assumptions in a product proposal before starting development?

To test assumptions in a product proposal, you challenge your plan with focused clarification questions and resolve dependencies branch-by-branch to reach shared understanding before implementation. This prevents building the wrong thing by forcing early verification.

What is the best way to review a technical plan and verify its dependencies?

The best way to review a technical plan and verify dependencies is through small-batch interrogation, walking down the design tree to resolve decisions one-by-one while prioritizing codebase inspection over speculation.

How does codebase inspection work during a design critique?

During a design critique, codebase inspection works by exploring the repository to answer design questions directly, prioritizing actual codebase exploration over speculation to uncover hidden assumptions and reduce risk.

Can I use assumption testing for design walkthroughs?

Yes, you can use assumption testing for design walkthroughs by applying relentless plan interrogation to challenge every aspect of the design until the team reaches a shared, verified understanding.

What are the limitations of small-batch questioning for plan review?

A limitation of small-batch questioning for plan review is that it requires handling questions in concise, grouped batches to maintain momentum, meaning complex dependency mapping must be resolved incrementally rather than all at once.
