SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Use when exploring a new idea before writing formal specifications. Guides users through iterative discovery, research, and critical analysis to crystallize vague ideas into validated requirement drafts. Includes anti-pseudo-requirement checks, competitive research, demand evidence gathering, and "What if we don't build this?" analysis. Supports pause/resume across sessions, stores ideas in the project's ideas/ directory, and graduates validated ideas into the spec-forge document chain (/prd → /srs → /tech-design → /test-plan).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided ideation and validation across multiple sessions
  • Anti-pseudo-requirement checks, demand evidence, and competitive research
  • Pause/resume support with ideas stored under ideas/ directory
  • Graduation into the spec-forge chain (PRD → SRS → Tech Design → Test Plan)

Quick Start

Begin an idea session to capture the problem, gather initial evidence, and prepare for validation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate vague product ideas before writing formal specifications?

To validate vague product ideas before writing formal specifications, use a structured ideation workflow that applies anti-pseudo-requirement checks, gathers demand evidence, and performs competitive research to crystallize concepts into validated requirement drafts.

What is the best way to analyze if we should not build a proposed feature?

Analyzing whether to avoid building a proposed feature requires a structured validation workflow that includes a "What if we don't build this?" analysis alongside demand evidence gathering and feasibility checks to justify the decision.

Can I pause and resume brainstorming sessions across different timeframes?

Yes, you can pause and resume brainstorming sessions across different timeframes by utilizing draft and state tracking within an organized ideas directory, ensuring iterative discovery and validation continuity across cross-functional teams.

How do I graduate validated ideas into a product requirements document chain?

To graduate validated ideas into a product requirements document chain, transition the validated requirement drafts into the spec-forge workflow, automatically sequencing them through PRD, SRS, Tech Design, and Test Plan stages.

What prerequisites are needed for structured idea exploration in a project?

Structured idea exploration in a project requires an organized ideas directory to store session history and manage draft and state tracking, ensuring proper validation and seamless graduation into the document chain.

When do I need anti-pseudo-requirement checks during early-stage concept research?

Anti-pseudo-requirement checks are needed during early-stage concept research when crystallizing vague ideas into validated drafts, ensuring teams filter out false demands and focus on actual user needs before formal specification.
