SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bridges the gap between vague product requirements and implementation-ready engineering specifications, preventing scope creep and hidden technical debt.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Constraint Mapping: Identifies implicit business rules, invariants, and trust boundaries before coding begins.
  • Contract Definition: Generates an SRS-style capability plan that defines actors, surfaces, and state transitions.
  • Use Case: When a new feature spans multiple services, use this Skill to create a durable capability contract that ensures all engineers are aligned on the implementation constraints and non-goals.

Quick Start

Use the product-capability skill to analyze the current roadmap item and generate an implementation-ready capability plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I translate product roadmap requirements into engineering plans?

Translating product roadmap requirements into engineering plans involves extracting technical constraints, invariants, and interface contracts from product documentation to generate a structured, implementation-ready capability plan. This ensures alignment between product goals and execution.

What is the best way to prevent scope creep when defining a multi-service feature?

Preventing scope creep for a multi-service feature requires generating an SRS-style capability contract that explicitly defines actors, state transitions, and non-goals. This ensures all engineers share aligned implementation constraints before coding begins.

How do I identify technical constraints and invariants from product documentation?

Identifying technical constraints and invariants from product documentation requires analyzing high-level product intent and architectural context to extract implicit business rules and trust boundaries. This creates a durable capability plan for engineering execution.

When do I need an implementation-ready capability plan for product architecture?

You need an implementation-ready capability plan when a new feature spans multiple services or complex architectural boundaries. It bridges vague product requirements and engineering specifications by defining explicit open questions and non-goals.

Can I map implicit business rules and trust boundaries before coding begins?

Mapping implicit business rules and trust boundaries before coding begins is achieved by analyzing product intent and architectural context. This process identifies hidden technical constraints and generates a structured capability contract.

Why does vague product intent lead to hidden technical debt in engineering execution?

Vague product intent leads to hidden technical debt because engineering execution lacks defined interface contracts and explicit non-goals. Translating intent into a structured capability plan bridges this gap and prevents misaligned implementation.
