SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents wasted development effort by ensuring that work package goals are sharp, measurable, and well-defined before any design or architecture work begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Objective Scoring: Evaluates requirements against a 0-10 rubric covering value, success criteria, scope, and tier fit.
  • Quality Gatekeeping: Enforces a minimum score of 7 to unlock the design phase, preventing ambiguous tasks from entering the pipeline.
  • Use Case: Use this during Phase 2 of the pipeline to audit a newly drafted requirements document to ensure it is ready for the engineering team.

Quick Start

Run the refine-critique skill to evaluate the current work package requirements against the project strategic frame.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate work package requirements before starting the design phase?

Evaluating work package requirements involves scoring them against predefined strategic and functional dimensions using a 0-10 rubric covering value, success criteria, scope, and tier fit to ensure goals are sharp, measurable, and well-defined before design begins.

What is the minimum requirements score needed to unlock the design phase in a pipeline workflow?

The minimum requirements score needed to unlock the design phase is 7. This quality gatekeeping threshold prevents ambiguous or poorly defined tasks from entering the pipeline and progressing to architecture work.

How do I audit a requirements document to ensure it is ready for the engineering team?

Auditing a requirements document requires running a critique evaluation during Phase 2 of the pipeline. It validates goals against the project strategic frame to confirm the work package is ready for the engineering team.

When do I need to score requirements against strategic and functional dimensions?

Scoring requirements against strategic and functional dimensions is needed after drafting a work package but before commencing design and architecture phases. This prevents wasted development effort on ambiguous tasks.

What happens if a work package goal does not meet the quality gate score?

If a work package goal does not meet the quality gate score of 7, it fails to unlock the design phase. The requirements must be refined and re-evaluated until they achieve a passing score.

Can I use requirements scoring rubrics without a pipeline progress tracking system?

Requirements scoring rubrics operate within the pipeline workflow to validate goals. Proper integration with the pipeline progress tracking system is required to enforce the quality gate and unlock subsequent design phases.
