SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes ambiguity when collaborating across teams, repos, or agents by converting a messy request into a structured handoff that focuses on needs, constraints, and context from the requester’s side.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clear separation of concerns: documents what you have, what you need, and why, without prescribing receiver implementation details.
  • Receiver-ready interface: frames the desired contract shape and includes constraints and open questions to unblock good design choices.
  • Consistent output: generates a markdown handoff file at /tmp/handoff-<slug>.md for easy copying into the receiving workflow.
  • Ideal for cross-boundary changes: use for API, design, platform, and backend coordination when you must request changes without dictating solutions.

It frames the desired contract shape while leaving implementation details to the receiver, which unblocks good design choices without dictating solutions.

How do I document requirements without prescribing implementation details?

You document requirements without prescribing implementation details by generating a handoff file that focuses strictly on needs and context. This structured markdown output captures what you have, what you need, and why, framing the contract shape while leaving solution design to the receiver.

Can I use a structured handoff for design adjustments and platform decisions?

Yes, you can use a structured handoff for design adjustments, platform decisions, and agent coordination. It converts messy cross-boundary requests into a durable interface request, ensuring clear communication of constraints and open questions across different teams or repositories.

What's the best way to coordinate cross-team communication for scope control?

The best way to coordinate cross-team communication for scope control is to generate a structured markdown handoff document. This removes ambiguity by converting requests into a durable interface file that explicitly separates needs, constraints, and open questions from implementation details.

What format does the handoff output generate for the receiving workflow?

The handoff output generates a markdown file at /tmp/handoff-<slug>.md for easy copying into the receiving workflow. This consistent output format ensures the structured requirements are durable and immediately accessible for cross-team collaboration.
