requirements-write

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
