SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Startups and builders often struggle to convert vague ideas into concrete, shareable plans. This skill provides two modes—Startup mode and Builder mode—to guide structured thinking and produce a design document you can reference and ship.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Proactive problem framing: asks the right questions to surface demand reality, priorities, and constraints before any code is written.
  • Dual-mode design sessions: Startup mode (demand reality, status quo, six forcing questions: demand reality, status quo, desperate specificity, narrowest wedge, observation, future-fit) and Builder mode (design thinking brainstorming for side projects, learning, and open source).
  • Design doc generation: saves a design doc capturing decisions, scope, milestones, and next steps for team alignment.
  • Proactive invocation: use when the user asks to brainstorm a new product idea or plans a design session; the skill proactively suggests directions before answering directly.

Quick Start

Trigger office-hours when you want to brainstorm a new product idea and immediately generate a structured design doc.
