SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users transform a business idea into a structured baseline document, ready for iterative development and improvement. It bridges the gap between a raw concept and an executable plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Baseline Initialization: Creates foundational documents (prd.md, execution-playbook.md, benchmark.md) for a new project or feature.
  • Guided Workflow: Offers two modes: 'self-described baseline' for users with a clear vision and 'vague baseline creation' for users who need AI assistance in defining the structure and execution.
  • Use Case: You have a business idea to scrape real-time trending topics from a specific website. Use this Skill to define the product requirements, execution steps, and how to measure success, creating a solid starting point for development.

Quick Start

Use the self-improve:init skill to start creating a baseline for a new business idea.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a baseline document for a new business idea?

To create a baseline document for a new business idea, you can use a guided workflow that interviews you and generates foundational PRD, execution playbook, and benchmark files into your workspace.

What is the best way to structure product requirements for an undefined concept?

Structuring product requirements for an undefined concept uses a vague baseline creation mode, where AI assistance guides you through defining execution steps and success metrics to form a solid executable plan.

How do I bootstrap a raw business concept into an actionable development plan?

Bootstrapping a raw concept into an actionable plan initializes a self-improvement loop, bridging the gap by writing structured baseline documents for iterative product development directly into your workspace.

Can I generate execution playbooks and benchmark documents if I already have a clear product vision?

If you have a clear product vision, you can use the self-described baseline mode to quickly generate execution playbooks and benchmark documents without needing extensive AI interviews to define the structure.

What baseline files do I need to start iterative product development?

To start iterative product development, you need three baseline files: a PRD for requirements, an execution playbook for steps, and a benchmark document for measuring success.

Does the baseline initialization process work for scraping real-time trending topics?

Yes, baseline initialization works for ideas like scraping real-time trending topics by defining the specific product requirements, execution steps, and success benchmarks needed for that project.
