SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of undocumented, tacit product knowledge by guiding a structured interview that elicits literal answers from subject matter experts and records them verbatim so nothing is assumed or invented.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Elicitation: Conducts a seven-axis interview (vision, business domain, architecture, features, data, operation, history) with progressive, one-question-at-a-time prompting.
  • Literal Logging: Saves an unedited interview-log.md recording every user response exactly as spoken to preserve source fidelity for later consolidation.
  • Context Consolidation: Generates thematic markdown files organized by axis for downstream RAG-ready documentation and agent context.
  • Use Case: Onboard a new product to an AI assistant by extracting the expert's knowledge, creating context files, and producing a list of open questions for follow-up.

Quick Start

Ask the user for the product title and a one-line summary, then proceed axis by axis asking one to three focused questions and record every response verbatim in entrevista-log.md.
