SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams decide when quality matters more than speed in product delivery, guiding the tradeoffs between polish, refactoring, and rapid iteration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decision frameworks: Craft Creates Moats and The Details Decision Matrix to classify scenarios such as core product experiences, user-facing features, internal tools, and experiments.
  • Templates for evaluation: A Quality Assessment template structures the feature context, tradeoffs, and required investments.
  • Quick reference signals: Clear criteria indicate when high craft versus move-fast modes should apply.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to apply the quality-speed framework to the next feature and decide whether to refactor, polish, or ship as is.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide whether to prioritize quality or speed in product development?

To balance quality and speed in product development, apply a decision matrix that classifies features as core product experiences, user-facing features, internal tools, or experiments to determine the appropriate tradeoff level.

When should I prioritize refactoring over shipping new features?

Refactoring should be prioritized over shipping new features when the feature is part of a core product experience where high craft creates competitive moats, rather than for internal tools or rapid experiments where moving fast is acceptable.

What is the Craft Creates Moats framework for product management?

The Craft Creates Moats framework is a product management decision model that enforces high polish and quality investment for core product experiences to build competitive advantages, while allowing speed for internal tools and experiments.

How do I assess if a feature needs polish before shipping?

Assess if a feature needs polish before shipping by using a quality assessment template to structure the feature context, evaluate tradeoffs, and determine the required investment based on whether it is user-facing or an internal tool.

Does moving fast work for internal tools and product experiments?

Moving fast works for internal tools and product experiments because these scenarios do not require the high craft and polish needed for core product experiences, allowing teams to prioritize rapid iteration over quality.

What is the best way to evaluate tradeoffs between polish and rapid iteration?

The best way to evaluate tradeoffs between polish and rapid iteration is applying the Details Decision Matrix to classify the scenario and use a built-in checklist to determine when high craft versus move-fast modes should apply.
