SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams convert an initial, vague product brief into a clearer problem statement, value proposition, target user, success metrics, and key risks—so you can plan the next steps with fewer assumptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured ideation for new projects: Guides the user through 6 divergent questions (root problem, delivered value, alternatives, target audience, success metrics, and dangerous assumptions).
  • Stateful flow using Reversa artifacts: Reads required inputs from .reversa/state.json and _reversa_sdd/newproject-brief.md, then produces a deterministic output plan.
  • Output generation for downstream agents: Writes _reversa_sdd/ideation.md containing a traceable, operational ideation synthesis ready for the next skill in the pipeline.

Quick Start

Run the ideator by sending the command "/reversa-ideator" to generate _reversa_sdd/ideation.md from your existing newproject-brief.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a vague product brief into a validated product idea?

To turn a vague product brief into a validated product idea, you need to extract the root problem, value proposition, target user, success metrics, and key risks. This structured ideation process clarifies problem statements so you can plan next steps with fewer assumptions.

What are the key questions to ask when structuring product ideation from a brief?

Key questions for product ideation from a brief cover the root problem, delivered value, alternatives, target audience, success metrics, and dangerous assumptions. Answering these six divergent questions transforms an initial vague brief into a clearer, operational direction.

How do I generate a structured ideation artifact for AI-assisted new project planning?

Generate a structured ideation artifact for AI-assisted new project planning by reading your product brief and state files, then synthesizing the inputs into a traceable markdown document. This creates an operational ideation output ready for downstream pipeline agents.

Do I need a specific markdown brief file to start product ideation?

Yes, you need a specific markdown brief file to start product ideation. The process requires reading a mandatory brief file and a state configuration file to elicit bounded divergent answers and produce a deterministic ideation synthesis.

What is the best way to document dangerous assumptions and success metrics early in product planning?

The best way to document dangerous assumptions and success metrics early in product planning is through a single-pass synthesis that converts your brief into a structured artifact. This approach explicitly flags undefined assumptions for user validation during the ideation phase.

Why does my ideation output contain undefined placeholders for user validation?

Ideation output contains undefined placeholders for user validation because the synthesis intentionally flags risk assumptions and missing information that cannot be resolved from the initial brief alone. This ensures you explicitly validate dangerous assumptions before proceeding.
