SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the wasted effort of building unvetted software ideas, and automates creating a structured, stakeholder-aligned proposal document to guide development teams from concept to spec.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Idea Worth Assessment: Evaluates problem significance, alternatives, opportunity cost, and maintenance burden to deliver a clear GO/GO WITH CAVEATS/NO-GO verdict.
  • Structured Proposal Generation: Drafts a standardized proposal.md document covering motivation, high-level scope, technical approach, and out-of-scope items to align stakeholders.
  • Use Case: If your team is considering adding real-time collaboration to your project management tool, use this Skill to first assess if the effort is justified, then generate a proposal that outlines the high-level architecture and required capabilities for the engineering team to spec out.

Quick Start

Use the propose skill to evaluate the idea of adding a dark mode toggle to our mobile app and draft the corresponding proposal document.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate if a software idea is worth building before committing development resources?▼

Evaluating a software idea involves assessing problem significance, alternatives, opportunity cost, and maintenance burden to deliver a clear GO, GO WITH CAVEATS, or NO-GO verdict. This prevents wasted engineering effort on unvetted features or architectural changes.

How do I draft a technical proposal that aligns stakeholders on a new feature?▼

Drafting a technical proposal requires generating a standardized document covering motivation, high-level scope, technical approach, and out-of-scope items. This structured artifact aligns stakeholders and transitions the team to spec development for new features.

What is a go/no-go assessment for software planning and when do I need one?▼

A go/no-go assessment is an idea evaluation process that determines whether a software development concept is viable. You need one when considering new features, bug fixes, or architectural changes to ensure the effort is justified before allocating resources.

Can I use a structured proposal to assess both new features and architectural changes?▼

Yes, a structured proposal can assess new features, bug fixes, and architectural changes. It evaluates the problem motivation and required capabilities, providing a research-backed artifact that guides implementation and aligns product and engineering teams.

What should be included in a proposal document for software development?▼

A proposal document for software development should include problem motivation, high-level scope, technical approach, out-of-scope items, and risk assessment. Capturing these elements ensures consistent, research-backed artifacts that guide engineering teams from concept to spec.

When should I not use an automated proposal generator for idea evaluation?▼

You should avoid automated proposal generation when a software idea requires deep, exploratory technical research beyond high-level scope and risk assessment. This process focuses on stakeholder alignment and viability checks rather than replacing detailed architectural specification.
