SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms vague, non-technical user requests into detailed, actionable engineering plans, bridging the gap between ideas and execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Objective Definition: Clearly articulates the desired outcome and non-goals.
  • Complexity Assessment: Classifies requests to determine appropriate milestone counts.
  • Assumption & Decision Management: Explicitly lists assumptions and identifies decisions needing confirmation.
  • Plan Generation: Creates a structured plan including milestones, acceptance criteria, and risks.
  • Use Case: A product manager describes a new feature idea in plain English. This Skill generates a technical plan with tasks, timelines, and acceptance criteria that engineers can immediately start working on.

Quick Start

Use the nontechnical-intake-to-plan skill to convert the following request into an execution plan: "I need a way for users to upload profile pictures."

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert non-technical project requirements into an actionable engineering plan?

You can turn plain-language requests into an engineering plan by inputting your desired outcomes and constraints. The agent drives architecture decisions and generates milestones, acceptance criteria, and implementation order.

What is the best way to generate milestones and acceptance criteria from a vague feature idea?

Generating milestones and acceptance criteria from a vague idea involves classifying request complexity using predefined rubrics. The agent then outputs a structured plan with risks, assumptions, and implementation order.

Can I use this to create an implementation order for project management without providing technical details?

Yes, you can generate an implementation order without technical details. The agent uses system context and predefined templates to drive architecture and execution decisions for the engineering plan.

Does this project management planning approach handle assumption and decision management automatically?

Yes, this planning approach explicitly lists assumptions and identifies decisions requiring confirmation. It integrates this management directly into the generated engineering plan.

When should I not use an automated intake-to-plan approach for engineering execution?

Avoid using an automated intake-to-plan approach if your request lacks defined outcomes or constraints. The agent requires these inputs to properly assess complexity and generate accurate engineering plans.
