SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of Business Requirements Documents (BRDs) for Lokstra projects by guiding teams through structured questions, templates, and versioned drafts to ensure clear scope and stakeholder alignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided interactive Q&A flows for BRD creation (Mode 1 and Mode 2)
  • Template-driven BRD generation with 22-section coverage
  • Version control workflow from draft to published BRD, including approvals
  • Rich references and templates (BRD_TEMPLATE.md, INTERACTIVE_MODE_GUIDE.md, MERMAID_DIAGRAMS.md) to standardize output
  • Role-based access, reviews, and publishing lifecycle that reduces rework

Quick Start

Start a BRD session by selecting Mode 1 (Detailed) or Mode 2 (Quick). The session will collect essential answers and save a draft BRD to docs/drafts/{project}/BRD-{project}-v1.0-draft.md, then guide you through revisions and publishing to docs/modules/{project}/BRD-{project}-v1.0.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a Business Requirements Document for a new software project?

To generate a Business Requirements Document, you use a guided interactive Q&A flow that collects essential project answers and saves a versioned draft BRD to your docs directory. The process applies structured templates to ensure clear scope and stakeholder alignment.

What is the difference between a detailed enterprise BRD and a quick MVP BRD?

A detailed enterprise BRD uses Mode 1 for comprehensive 22-section template coverage, while a quick MVP BRD uses Mode 2 to rapidly collect essential answers. Both modes produce versioned drafts but differ in depth and completion time.

How does version control work for business requirements documents?

Version control for business requirements documents follows a publishing lifecycle from draft to published. Initial sessions save to a drafts folder, then guide you through revisions and approvals before publishing the final BRD to a permanent modules directory.

Can I use BRD templates to standardize stakeholder alignment across multiple projects?

Yes, you can use BRD templates to standardize stakeholder alignment across projects. The Skill provides rich references like BRD_TEMPLATE.md and MERMAID_DIAGRAMS.md to ensure consistent output, role-based reviews, and reduced rework during the publishing workflow.

What is the best way to handle approvals for a draft BRD before publishing?

The best way to handle BRD approvals is using the built-in role-based access and publishing lifecycle. It guides teams from the initial draft through structured revisions, ensuring all stakeholders review and approve the document before it reaches the final published state.

When should I not use an automated BRD generation workflow?

You should not use an automated BRD generation workflow for minor bug fixes or small updates that do not require stakeholder alignment. The process is specifically designed for new projects or major feature requests that need structured scope definition.
