SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill surfaces Claude's assumptions about a phase approach before planning, helping teams align on approach and catch misalignments early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface assumptions across technical approach, implementation order, scope boundaries, risks, and dependencies.
  • Validate the phase against the project roadmap to surface gaps and misalignments early.
  • Provide actionable next steps and prompts for user feedback to refine plans.
  • Enable early course-correction in planning discussions by surfacing conflicting assumptions and dependencies.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to analyze a specific phase number and surface its assumptions across the five areas to guide planning.

FAQPage Schema
How do I surface hidden phase assumptions during project roadmap planning?

Surface phase assumptions during roadmap planning by identifying technical approaches, implementation order, scope boundaries, risks, and dependencies to produce a structured summary for early course correction. This prevents misalignments before execution.

What is phase assumption analysis and why is it needed in planning workflows?

Phase assumption analysis identifies underlying expectations about technical approach, scope, and dependencies before execution begins. It is needed in planning workflows to catch conflicting assumptions early and align teams on the project roadmap.

How do I analyze a specific roadmap phase to identify risks and dependencies?

Analyze a specific roadmap phase by validating its approach against five key areas: technical implementation, execution order, scope boundaries, risks, and dependencies. This yields actionable next steps and user feedback prompts to refine plans.

Can I validate scope boundaries and implementation order before starting a project phase?

Yes, validate scope boundaries and implementation order by extracting assumptions upfront during planning sessions. This structured analysis highlights gaps and dependencies, enabling early course correction before committing to the technical approach.

What is the best way to catch misalignments in technical approach early in a phase?

The best way to catch technical approach misalignments early is to run a structured assumption analysis against the project roadmap, surfacing conflicting dependencies and scope boundaries for user feedback before implementation begins.

When should I not use automated assumption analysis for phase planning?

Avoid automated assumption analysis when your project lacks a defined roadmap or when the phase scope is entirely ambiguous, as the analysis requires a baseline technical approach and implementation order to extract meaningful risks and dependencies.
