SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you clarify, validate, and align on a plan or design by forcing explicit decisions and resolving contradictions until you reach shared understanding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Relentless decision-tree questioning: Breaks down a plan into dependent branches and questions each assumption until the next decision is unambiguous.
  • Branch-by-branch resolution: Identifies dependencies between decisions and works through them one-by-one to prevent gaps.
  • Codebase-first answers: When parts of a question can be grounded in your repository, it explores the codebase instead of guessing.
  • Use Case: Review a migration design and make sure you agree on the rollout strategy, edge cases, and success criteria before implementation.

Quick Start

Ask: “Grill me on this plan: [paste your plan/design]” and answer its questions one at a time until it reaches shared understanding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a design review using decision-tree questioning?

Stress-testing a design review with decision-tree questioning involves breaking down a plan into dependent branches and asking targeted questions one at a time to resolve ambiguity and alignment gaps in complex designs.

What is the best way to clarify requirements before an architecture migration?

Clarifying requirements before an architecture migration is best achieved by iteratively resolving branching dependencies between decisions, making each assumption explicit until shared understanding is reached.

Can I validate product decisions by exploring the codebase for evidence?

Yes, you can validate product decisions by exploring the codebase for evidence; instead of guessing, the questioning process grounds answers in repository evidence when parts of a design query can be derived directly from the code.

Does interview coaching for architecture alignment work by asking questions sequentially?

Interview coaching for architecture alignment works by applying relentless, sequential questioning to validate engineering decisions, ensuring branching dependencies are resolved iteratively before moving to the next choice.

What are the limitations of using branch-by-branch resolution for risk reduction?

A limitation of branch-by-branch resolution for risk reduction is that it requires answering questions one at a time iteratively, meaning it cannot skip ahead until the current decision and its dependencies are unambiguous.
