SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of designing and architecting software by providing a structured methodology for investigating codebases, asking clarifying questions, and producing actionable implementation plans.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase Investigation: Guides the agent on how to effectively read and understand existing code.
  • Structured Questioning: Facilitates a clear question-and-answer loop with users to gather necessary information.
  • Plan Generation: Produces a well-defined Markdown plan including goal, context, approach, steps, open questions, and risks.
  • Use Case: Before starting a new feature development, use this skill to thoroughly understand the relevant parts of the existing codebase, identify potential challenges, and create a clear roadmap for implementation.

Quick Start

Use the plan-workflow skill to investigate the codebase and create a plan for the new user authentication feature.

FAQPage Schema
What is a structured approach for software architecture planning before writing code?

Collaborative architecture planning involves investigating an existing codebase, conducting user interviews to gather context, and generating a structured implementation plan that defines goals, approach, steps, open questions, and risks.

How do I create an implementation plan for a new software feature?

To create an implementation plan, you investigate the relevant codebase sections, ask clarifying questions to define the scope, and produce a structured Markdown plan documenting the goal, context, approach, steps, open questions, and risks.

Can I use a structured planning workflow for complex codebase investigation?

Yes, a structured planning workflow guides you through complex codebase investigation by directing how to read and understand existing code before defining the architectural approach and generating an actionable implementation plan.

What is the best way to document software design risks and open questions?

The best way to document software design risks and open questions is to use a defined Markdown plan format that explicitly separates goals, context, approach, implementation steps, open questions, and risks for clarity and actionability.

Do I need any specific frameworks to start collaborative code design?

No specific frameworks are required to start collaborative code design. The process relies on a structured methodology for investigating codebases and producing a defined Markdown plan file rather than depending on external dependencies.
