SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Brainstorming and documenting product ideas is often unstructured and hard to port into actionable sprint plans. This skill provides a structured workflow to capture ideas, perform lightweight market research, audit the codebase for feasibility, and generate a port-ready idea file that can be imported into Ralph sprint planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured idea capture: guide users through problem surfacing, user personas, and solution sketching.
  • Market research integration: prompts to research competitors and adjacent solutions to avoid duplication.
  • PRD/backlog readiness: links to PRD and ideas directory so ideas can be slotted into backlogs and sprints for planning.
  • Living idea documents: produces an idea file in the ideas directory ready for /new-sprint.

Quick Start

Capture a new product idea by detailing problem, market, and solution so it can be ported into Ralph sprint planning.

Frequently Asked Questions about new-idea

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure product brainstorming to generate sprint-ready backlog items?▼

To structure product brainstorming for sprint readiness, you must surface user problems, sketch solutions, and research competitors. This process generates a port-ready idea file in the ideas directory that links directly to your PRD and backlog.

How does market research integrate into early concept refinement for product ideas?▼

Market research integrates into concept refinement by actively prompting you to research competitors and adjacent solutions. This prevents solution duplication and ensures your documented idea is validated against existing alternatives before backlog integration.

What is the best way to document a product idea for PRD alignment and backlog integration?▼

The best way to document a product idea for PRD alignment is to generate a living idea file in the ideas directory. This file connects structured brainstorming outputs directly to your PRD and backlog so it can be slotted into sprints.

Do I need to audit the codebase before porting an idea file to sprint planning?▼

Yes, you need to audit the codebase to assess technical feasibility before porting an idea file to sprint planning. This codebase audit ensures the proposed solution is practical and ready for the sprint backlog.

Can I use this structured ideation workflow without existing PRD documentation?▼

Structured ideation workflow links new ideas to your PRD and backlog, so having PRD documentation is highly recommended. It ensures generated idea files can be properly slotted into existing product plans and sprint schedules.
