SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It removes the blank-page problem by turning a new project idea into structured context, requirements, and an actionable roadmap.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided questioning flow: Collects the information needed to frame the project before planning.
  • Deep context gathering (optional research): Produces domain research when helpful, then uses it to scope the work.
  • Project outputs for execution: Generates project memory plus requirement and roadmap documents you can immediately run in later phases.

Use case: Starting a new feature or internal initiative and needing a clear requirements scope and phase-based execution plan without manually organizing notes.

Quick Start

Run the gsd-new-project skill (optionally with --auto) and provide your idea document/reference so it can generate .planning/PROJECT.md, .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md, and .planning/ROADMAP.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I kickstart a new software project with a structured roadmap and requirements?

You can kickstart a new software project by using a guided questioning flow that gathers your project context and generates structured planning artifacts. This produces a requirements document and a phase-based roadmap to remove the blank-page problem.

What is the best way to scope requirements before project execution?

The best way to scope requirements is through interactive questioning and optional domain research synthesis. This process frames your project needs and outputs a structured requirements document to validate before execution begins.

Can I generate project planning files like config and state documents automatically?

Yes, you can automatically generate project planning files like config.json, state.md, and roadmap.md. The initialization process creates these artifacts within a dedicated planning directory to preserve workflow gates and routing.

Does project kickoff planning work for operational initiatives or only software development?

Project kickoff planning works for both operational initiatives and software development. The guided process applies to any new project where you need requirements scoping, roadmap structuring, and state setup before execution.

How do I set up project state management and memory before starting execution?

You set up project state management by initializing a state file during the project kickoff. This creates a persistent memory structure that tracks progress and preserves workflow validation gates for later execution phases.

What do I need to start a project kickoff if I only have a brief idea document?

You only need a brief idea document or reference to start the project kickoff. The guided questioning flow collects the remaining necessary information to frame the project and produces structured planning artifacts.
