SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeps scenarios self-explanatory by making states, transitions, and failures visible through clear signals so humans and agents can trust what happens without adding new observability stacks or guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Signal inventory & audit: Read the seams documentation and map key states, transitions, and failure modes to the signals that need to exist for each.
  • Feedback alignment: Shape logs, status outputs, and UX messages so they speak the domain language, describe what the scenario is doing, and guide next steps.
  • Telemetry & stability: Ensure deterministic events are logged, health indicators summarize the latest situation, tests assert critical signals, and the Observability Surface doc reflects the signal inventory.
  • Use Case: After defining a workflow, ask this skill to highlight missing signals, noisy outputs, and the documentation updates needed to keep operators and future agents informed.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to analyze the current scenario and describe the required signals for states, transitions, and failures.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve runtime observability without adding a new telemetry stack?

To improve runtime observability without new telemetry stacks, audit existing scenario outputs and align feedback surfaces with the domain model. This ensures states and failures remain visible using current logs, status outputs, and UI cues without introducing new infrastructure.

What is the best way to align scenario logs with domain language for operators and agents?

Aligning scenario logs with domain language requires shaping feedback surfaces so outputs describe what the scenario is doing and guide next steps. This makes runtime states self-explanatory, ensuring humans and agents can trust system transitions without guesswork.

How do I audit existing telemetry signals to reduce noisy runtime outputs?

Auditing telemetry signals involves mapping key states, transitions, and failure modes to required outputs, then identifying noisy logs. This removes confusing feedback, ensuring deterministic events are logged and health indicators summarize the latest situation noise-free.

Does signal and feedback surface design work for prompt-management contexts?

Yes, signal and feedback surface design works for prompt-management contexts by mapping scenario models to visible runtime states. It clarifies observability across logs, status outputs, UI cues, and documentation, ensuring feedback remains actionable and stable for agents.

When should I update documentation after changing scenario observability surfaces?

You should update documentation after changing observability surfaces whenever signal inventories shift. Ensuring the Observability Surface doc reflects current signals keeps operators and future agents informed, preventing runtime guesswork and maintaining stable feedback alignment.

Why are my runtime health indicators not providing actionable feedback for agents?

Runtime health indicators lack actionable feedback when outputs are misaligned with the scenario model. By auditing existing signals and updating the Observability Surface doc, you ensure health indicators summarize the latest situation clearly and guide next steps.
