What problem does it solve?

The Idea-to-PDD Skill helps teams convert early briefs into a complete Program Design Doc (PDD) for a Connect application, reducing ambiguity and accelerating alignment with stakeholders.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Draft PDD structure including Archetype, Problem Statement, Intervention Design, Learn App Specification, Deliver App Specification, Target Population, FLW Requirements, LLO Preference, Success Metrics, Evidence Model, and Timeline.
  • Automatically incorporate archetype-specific questions (atomic-visit, focus-group, multi-stage) and explicit stage gates to guide progress.
  • Gate-ready output in ACE/<opp-name>/pdd.md with a Stress Test appendix and a Gate Brief, enabling downstream skills and humans to proceed confidently.

Quick Start

Run /ace:step idea-to-pdd for your opp to generate a complete PDD draft from ACE/<opp-name>/idea.md.
