SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of sharing a complete product direction—PRD, plan, and architectural context—so contractors, executives, and external collaborators can work effectively without access to your codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • External handoff packaging: Consolidates available product artifacts into a single standalone handoff document for people who don’t need (or can’t see) the repository.
  • Informed scope & decision capture: Includes scope in/out, key decisions, acceptance criteria, and open questions so the external reader doesn’t have to guess.
  • Progress tracking: Updates the project progress log and records the generated output path and next step.

Quick Start

Run /handoff and provide the feature or project name you want to hand off so the skill writes a standalone handoff document for that workstream.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a stakeholder handoff document from a PRD without sharing my codebase?

To create a stakeholder handoff document, you can package your PRD, plan, and architecture artifacts into a single standalone file. This provides external collaborators with necessary product direction and context without requiring codebase access.

What should a contractor briefing document include for external collaborators?

A contractor briefing document should include scope in/out, key decisions, acceptance criteria, and open questions. Consolidating these elements ensures external readers understand the product direction without guessing or needing repository access.

Can I generate an executive update that summarizes architecture and product planning without code?

Yes, you can generate an executive update by synthesizing available planning and context files into a PM-readable, code-free document. It captures the product direction and architectural context necessary for executive updates.

How do I track project progress when generating an external handoff package?

You can track project progress by updating the progress log during handoff generation. The process records the generated output file path, named for the feature slug, and notes the next step for the workstream.

Do I need a completed PRD to generate a handoff document for design partners?

Yes, a present PRD is required to generate a handoff document. Optional planning and context files can also be included to enrich the synthesis for design partner handoffs.

What is the best way to consolidate product plans and architecture summaries for external stakeholders?

The best way to consolidate product plans is to synthesize the PRD, planning files, and architecture summaries into a standalone handoff template. This approach captures scope, decisions, and acceptance criteria for stakeholders.
