SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This role provides a structured approach for writing RFCs that can be understood and executed by weaker local models, ensuring consistency, safety, and clarity in machine-assisted engineering tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RFC as order: define a single, unambiguous objective and constraints that a model can implement.
  • Deterministic guidance: prescribe exact blocks (SEARCH/REPLACE, tests) and guardrails to reduce ambiguity.
  • Governance and collaboration: support multi-agent coordination by providing measurable acceptance criteria and rollback plans for safe iteration.

Quick Start

Draft an RFC that clearly specifies a single feature with concrete scope, replace blocks, and testable acceptance criteria.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an RFC specification that weak models can execute correctly?

To write an RFC specification for weak models, define a single unambiguous objective and constraints with prescribed SEARCH/REPLACE blocks, mandatory tests, and rollback plans. This deterministic guidance reduces ambiguity and ensures verifiable outcomes for lower-capability agents.

What is a model instruction RFC and when do I need one for governance?

A model instruction RFC is a policy-style specification defining exact task constraints and acceptance criteria for agents. You need one for multi-agent governance coordination to ensure safe, measurable, and consistent machine-assisted engineering iterations.

How to draft task instructions for lower-capability local models that ensure safety?

Draft task instructions for lower-capability local models by prescribing exact code blocks, setting strict guardrails, and defining measurable acceptance criteria. Including a mandatory rollback plan ensures safe iteration and prevents unintended execution errors.

What's the best way to structure an RFC for multi-agent coordination and rollback?

The best way to structure an RFC for multi-agent coordination is to mandate sections for problem, approach, tests, and rollback. This provides measurable acceptance criteria and safe iteration plans required for reliable multi-agent collaboration.

Does an RFC for weak models need inline executable test blocks?

Yes, an RFC for weak models needs inline executable test blocks to comply with the strict template. These test blocks provide deterministic guidance and verifiable acceptance criteria, ensuring the lower-capability agent produces correct outcomes.
