SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the setup of essential project context files, ensuring downstream Software Requirements Specification (SRS) skills have the necessary templates and directories to operate effectively.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Initialization: Creates or refreshes project_context/ with vital templates (vision, features, tech stack, business rules, quality standards, glossary).
  • Output Directory Setup: Ensures an output/ directory exists for downstream skills.
  • Mode Selection: Offers 'Maintenance Mode' to add missing templates without overwriting existing data, or 'Clean Mode' to reset from scratch.
  • Use Case: Before starting any SRS development, run this skill to ensure your project has a solid foundation of documented vision, features, and quality standards, preventing common errors in later stages.

Quick Start

Run the initialize-srs skill to set up the project context and output directories.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up project context files for SRS development?

To set up project context files for SRS development, run this Skill to generate IEEE Std 830-1998 and ISO/IEC 25051 compliant templates for vision, features, tech stack, business rules, and quality standards.

What templates do I need for IEEE 830 compliant software requirements?

IEEE 830 compliant software requirements typically need templates for vision, features, tech stack, business rules, quality standards, and a glossary. This Skill automatically generates all these essential project context files.

Can I refresh existing project context templates without losing my data?

Yes, you can refresh existing project context templates without losing data by using Maintenance Mode, which adds missing templates while preserving your current content. Clean Mode resets everything from scratch.

Do I need an output directory before generating software requirements specifications?

Yes, you need an output directory before generating software requirements specifications. This Skill automatically creates the required output directory to prepare your project for downstream SRS generation skills.

When should I initialize project context for ISO 25051 compliance?

You should initialize project context for ISO 25051 compliance before starting any SRS development. Running this setup first ensures your project has a solid foundation of documented vision and quality standards, preventing errors later.
