SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams resolve material uncertainty before approving a spec by running a focused Prototype Probe. It prevents speculative decisions when a delivery, integration, or UX question needs evidence first.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Uncertainty retirement: Test one concrete unknown instead of debating assumptions.
  • Time-boxed probing: Keep the experiment narrow enough to finish in a short, controlled window.
  • Decision support: Convert probe findings into a clear recommendation to approve, revise, or run another narrow probe.
  • Use Case: A draft spec depends on an unverified integration path, so you probe the smallest viable implementation and fold the results back into the spec before planning continues.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run a narrow Prototype Probe for the draft spec, bound the specific uncertainty, and return the updated spec with findings and an approval recommendation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I retire delivery risk before spec approval?

To retire delivery risk before spec approval, you run a narrow, time-boxed Prototype Probe that tests a concrete unknown and fold the evidence back into your draft spec to generate a clear approve or revise recommendation.

What is a prototype probe for spec review?

A prototype probe for spec review is a focused, time-boxed experiment that tests a specific technical, UX, or integration uncertainty to bound delivery risk instead of relying on speculative debate.

When do I need to run a time-boxed experiment on a draft specification?

You need to run a time-boxed experiment on a draft specification when material uncertainty exists around an unverified integration path or UX question that requires evidence before planning can safely continue.

How do I convert probe findings into an approval recommendation?

You convert probe findings into an approval recommendation by documenting touched surfaces and time-boxed evidence, then returning an explicit decision to approve the spec, revise it, or run another narrow probe.

Does spec probing work for bounding integration and UX risk?

Spec probing works for bounding integration and UX risk by implementing the smallest viable test path, keeping the experiment narrow enough to finish quickly, and converting findings into a clear approval recommendation.

What are the limitations of running a prototype probe for uncertainty retirement?

The limitation of running a prototype probe is that the experiment must remain strictly time-boxed and narrow; it cannot resolve broad architectural uncertainties and only yields an explicit approve, revise, or probe-again recommendation.
