SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Derive opp-specific QA prompts from an approved PDD to seed the OCS deep gate with ground-truth prompts for evaluation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate structured QA prompts from a PDD, including cross-archetype prompts
  • Support for archetypes: atomic-visit, focus-group, multi-stage with stage-gate concepts
  • Self-check coverage to ensure prompts include required categories and out-of-scope prompts

Quick Start

Run the skill to generate opp-specific test prompts from ACE/<opp-name>/pdd.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate test prompts from a PDD for QA evaluation?

Generate QA test prompts from a PDD by deriving opp-specific questions from an approved PDD file to seed the OCS deep gate with ground-truth prompts for evaluation. The process writes structured test-prompts.md files with metadata.

What are cross-archetype prompts and when do I need them for prompt generation?

Cross-archetype prompts are required QA categories including intervention basics, escalation, training gaps, and out-of-scope questions. They apply across all archetypes including atomic-visit, focus-group, and multi-stage to ensure comprehensive coverage.

How do I create test prompts for multi-stage and focus-group archetypes?

Create test prompts for multi-stage and focus-group archetypes by deriving opp-specific QA prompts from an approved PDD. Multi-stage archetypes include stage-gate concepts, and the skill enforces archetype-specific and cross-archetype prompt categories.

Does prompt generation self-evaluate coverage for required QA categories?

Prompt generation self-evaluates coverage to ensure required categories are present in the output. The skill validates that generated prompts include all required categories and out-of-scope prompts before writing the test-prompts.md file.

What file format and path does PDD test prompt generation output?

PDD test prompt generation outputs a markdown file at ACE/<opp-name>/test-prompts.md with metadata. The input requires an approved PDD at ACE/<opp-name>/pdd.md to derive the opp-specific QA prompts.

Can I use this prompt generation for atomic-visit archetype QA prompts?

Yes, prompt generation supports atomic-visit archetypes along with focus-group and multi-stage archetypes. It enforces cross-archetype prompts like intervention basics, escalation, training gaps, and out-of-scope questions across all supported types.
