SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates ambiguous, fragmented interview notes by guiding a structured, progressive questioning process that produces a single, implementation-ready feature document suitable for planning and execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Four-pass methodology (Shape, Flow, Detail, Completeness) that incrementally builds a mental model and enforces checkpoints before advancing.
  • Decision forcing and quality gates to remove "TBDs", surface blind spots, and record rationale in a decisions log.
  • Outputs a canonical Markdown document placed at documentation/<prefix>_<feature_name>_documentation.md for downstream planning and execution.
  • Use Cases: product feature discovery, technical requirements gathering, developer handoffs, and pre-implementation planning sessions.

Quick Start

Run /interview with the feature name to begin a guided four-pass interview, for example: /interview batch video annotation pipeline

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn user interviews into implementation-ready feature documentation?

You can turn user interviews into implementation-ready feature documentation by using a structured four-pass methodology that incrementally builds a mental model and enforces checkpoints to eliminate ambiguous requirements.

What is the best way to gather technical requirements and remove TBDs during product discovery?

Gathering technical requirements through a progressive questioning process with decision forcing and quality gates removes TBDs, surfaces blind spots, and records rationale in a decisions log for downstream planning.

How do I structure an interview to capture stage-level specifications and error handling for engineering handoffs?

Structuring an interview with a four-pass methodology (Shape, Flow, Detail, Completeness) captures stage-level specifications and error handling by enforcing checkpoints before advancing through the discovery session.

Can I generate a Markdown documentation file directly from technical requirements gathering sessions?

Yes, you can generate a canonical Markdown documentation file directly from technical requirements gathering sessions, placing the output at documentation/<prefix>_<feature_name>_documentation.md for execution.

Does this interview methodology work for pre-implementation planning and developer handoffs?

Yes, this interview methodology works for pre-implementation planning and developer handoffs by producing a single, implementation-ready feature document suitable for execution.

How do I start a guided interview for batch video annotation pipeline feature discovery?

You start a guided interview for feature discovery by running the /interview command with the feature name, such as /interview batch video annotation pipeline, to begin the four-pass process.
