SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams identify and settle key abstractions from domain text, producing a structured key-abstractions.md that captures named domain units with intents, core terms, shape hints, and verbatim extracts, ready for downstream modeling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify named domain units (Key Abstractions) from unstructured text or partitioned modules.
  • Capture Intent, Core terms, and Shape hints for each abstraction, plus verifiable Extract blocks.
  • Generate module-level organization via optional module-partitioning and publish settled abstractions for review.

Quick Start

Run the skill on your domain text to generate key-abstractions.md with module-aware grouping when a module-partitioning.md is present.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify key domain abstractions from unstructured text?

Identifying key domain abstractions from text involves extracting named domain units and capturing their intents, core terms, shape hints, and verbatim extracts into a structured key-abstractions.md file for downstream modeling.

What is a key abstractions document and when do I need one for domain modeling?

A key abstractions document captures named domain units with intents, core terms, shape hints, and verifiable extracts. You need one to settle domain vocabulary and structure requirements before downstream architecture modeling.

Can I partition domain text into modules before extracting key abstractions?

Yes, you can partition domain text into modules. When a module-partitioning.md is present, the skill generates module-level organization, grouping key abstractions per module with their specific intents and verbatim extracts.

What's the best way to capture domain intents and shape hints from requirements text?

The best way to capture domain intents and shape hints is to run text analysis on your requirements, extracting named units and enforcing that each abstraction carries an Intent, Core terms, a Shape hint, and at least one verbatim Extract.

Does extracting key abstractions require any specific input file formats?

No specific input file formats are required. The skill operates on modular corpora or flat text scopes, requiring only domain text to analyze and an optional module-partitioning.md for module-aware grouping.

Why should I use key abstraction extraction instead of manual domain modeling?

Key abstraction extraction enforces structural constraints and verifiable verbatim extracts, reducing manual effort and ensuring each named domain unit carries consistent Intent, Core terms, Shape hints, and Extract blocks for review.
