SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill guides teams to comprehensively capture axioms, purpose, principles, methodology, and technical requirements for Cursor agent systems, ensuring a well-scoped blueprint from day one.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured 5-layer elicitation: Axiom configuration, Purpose, Layer 2 Principles, Methodology, and Layer 4 Technical configuration.
  • Phase-driven outputs: generates PURPOSE.md, workflows, and other configuration artifacts to feed the factory.
  • Use Case: A team generates a new Cursor agent system with aligned goals, constraints, and technical stack.

Quick Start

Run the quickstart flow to initiate the requirements gathering for a new Cursor agent project.

Frequently Asked Questions about requirements-gathering

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure requirements for a Cursor agent system from scratch?

To structure requirements for a Cursor agent system, use a 5-layer architecture encompassing axioms, purpose, principles, methodology, and technical configuration to capture aligned goals and technical stack.

What artifacts does the five-layer requirements elicitation process generate?

The five-layer requirements elicitation process generates phase-driven artifacts including PURPOSE.md and workflows, which provide configuration to feed the factory for the agent system.

Can I use this requirements gathering workflow to retool an existing agent blueprint?

Yes, you can use this requirements gathering workflow to retool existing blueprints by guiding structured sessions to realign axioms, methodology, and technical configuration for your Cursor agent system.

What principles should agent system requirements satisfy during elicitation?

During requirements elicitation, agent system outputs must satisfy verifiability, user primacy, transparency, non-harm, and consistency to ensure aligned and reliable workflows.

Does requirements gathering for Cursor agents require prior technical configuration knowledge?

Requirements gathering for Cursor agents requires prior knowledge of your desired technical stack and project constraints to effectively configure the five architecture layers, from foundational axioms to technical setup.
