SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts a completed /requirements-gather Q&A block into a ready-to-publish Cortex requirements document (project or area) in v2 format, without conducting new interviews.

Core Features & Use Cases

Document synthesis: transforms the Q&A block into a Cortex-friendly requirements file at cortex/requirements/project.md or cortex/requirements/{area}.md.
Non-interruptive behavior: never conducts interviews; acts as a passive writer invoked by the /cortex-core:requirements orchestrator.
Use Case: when your team has completed a requirements gathering round and needs a polished, v2-compliant artifact for implementation planning.

Quick Start

Instruct the orchestrator to synthesize the current Q&A block into the target Cortex requirements document.

FAQPage Schema

How do I convert a Q&A block into a v2-compliant Cortex requirements document?▼

To convert a Q&A block into a Cortex requirements document, the Skill synthesizes completed requirements-gather Q&A blocks into a v2-compliant file at cortex/requirements/project.md or cortex/requirements/{area}.md without conducting new interviews.

Does generating Cortex requirements docs overwrite existing project or area scope files?▼

Generating Cortex requirements docs does not overwrite existing files; the Skill refines existing target documents by preserving user-provided prose where present and applies project or area templates to update the artifact safely.

How to synthesize requirements documentation without conducting new interviews?▼

To synthesize requirements documentation without new interviews, the Skill acts as a passive writer that processes an existing requirements-gather Q&A block to produce a polished, ready-to-publish requirements file for implementation planning.

Can I update the Last gathered date in a requirements document using a Q&A block?▼

You can update the Last gathered date by synthesizing the Q&A block; the Skill automatically updates this date while surfacing open questions and enforcing the preservation of user-provided prose during document generation.

What is the best way to prepare a Cortex requirements file for implementation planning?▼

The best way to prepare a Cortex requirements file is to synthesize a completed Q&A block into a v2-compliant artifact, which transforms gathered answers into a structured document ready for downstream implementation planning.

When should I not use an automated requirements synthesis approach for my project?▼

You should not use automated requirements synthesis when you need to conduct new interviews or gather fresh stakeholder input, because this Skill exclusively processes pre-existing Q&A blocks and never initiates interactive sessions.
