SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps YC office-hours partners ensure problems are understood clearly before proposing solutions, by generating structured design documents instead of jumping into implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Produce well-scoped design docs that outline problem statements, constraints, success criteria, and proposed approaches.
  • Guide collaborative sessions by formatting insights into actionable sections that can be reviewed and criticized.
  • Adaptable to startup context, internal initiatives, or learning projects where a clear design plan is needed before coding.

Quick Start

Describe your problem and I will draft a complete design doc outline ready for review.

Frequently Asked Questions about office-hours

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a structured design doc before coding my startup feature?

A design doc for early-stage startups defines the problem statement, constraints, success metrics, and proposed approaches. It enforces structured thinking by outlining scope and concrete next steps, ensuring a clear plan exists before any coding starts.

What is problem framing and why does it matter for design thinking?

Problem framing defines the exact scope and constraints of an issue before proposing solutions. It matters for design thinking because it ensures collaborative sessions produce actionable design rationale and proposed next steps rather than jumping into premature implementation.

Can I use this to outline an internal initiative design plan?

Yes, you can use it to outline an internal initiative design plan. The framework adapts to internal projects by formatting collaborative insights into well-scoped sections that define problem statements, metrics, and proposed approaches ready for team review and criticism.

How do I turn a vague project idea into a YC-style design document?

You turn a vague project idea into a YC-style design document by applying structured problem framing. Describe your initial problem, and the system drafts a complete outline covering design rationale, defined scope, constraints, and proposed next steps for collaborative review.

What are the limitations of generating design docs for learning projects?

A limitation is that generated design docs enforce rigid structured thinking with defined scope and metrics, which may constrain highly exploratory learning projects. It requires a clear problem description upfront to produce actionable sections and concrete next steps.
