SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.

If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.

Core Features & Use Cases

Relentless, structured questioning to map design decisions and dependencies.
Guided exploration of codebase when applicable to verify assumptions.
Creates a decision-tree walkthrough to share understanding with stakeholders.

Quick Start

Describe your plan, and I will relentlessly walk through every design branch to reach a shared understanding.

FAQPage Schema

How do I resolve uncertainties in a design plan before sharing it with stakeholders?▼

Relentlessly interview stakeholders about every aspect of a plan, walking down each branch of the design tree to resolve dependencies one-by-one. This structured questioning produces a shared understanding and a final design outline.

What is the best way to map design dependencies during a planning session?▼

Mapping design dependencies is done by walking down each branch of a decision tree, interrogating every decision point individually. This structured questioning clarifies constraints and builds shared understanding among stakeholders.

Can I verify planning assumptions directly against a codebase?▼

Yes, you can verify planning assumptions by exploring the codebase directly instead of relying on manual input. This grounds the design review in actual implementation details and resolves questions automatically when applicable.

Do I need a completed design tree to start interviewing stakeholders?▼

No, you only need to describe your initial plan. The tool will relentlessly walk through every design branch and interrogate each decision point, building the decision-tree walkthrough dynamically until shared understanding is reached.

When should I use structured questioning instead of a standard design review?▼

Use structured questioning when you need to expose dependencies and clarify constraints across complex decision branches to reach a shared understanding. It is ideal for planning sessions where unresolved uncertainties might impact downstream stakeholders.
