SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Audit and critique specifications (PRDs, BRDs, RFCs, design docs) to surface IEEE 830 quality gaps and potential risks before implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IEEE 830 quality attribute scoring with findings
  • Spec smells scan that flags ambiguity and vagueness
  • Cross-cutting concerns checklist (security, performance, observability, compliance, etc.)
  • Multi-expert panel critique with devil's advocate
  • Output a separate panel-analysis document fed into /spec-update or /spec-to-impl

Quick Start

Invoke this skill on a draft spec to generate a findings report before implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a software specification document for quality gaps before implementation?

Auditing a specification document involves scoring IEEE 830 quality attributes, scanning for spec smells like ambiguity, and running cross-cutting concerns checklists to surface risks. This process generates structured findings and a remediation plan before development begins.

What is the best way to review a PRD or RFC for ambiguity and missing requirements?

Reviewing a PRD or RFC for ambiguity requires a multi-expert panel critique that includes a devil's advocate review. This approach flags vague language, identifies incomplete requirements, and outputs a structured panel-analysis document for subsequent updates.

Can I use IEEE 830 quality attributes to evaluate design docs across different software projects?

Yes, IEEE 830 quality attributes can be applied to evaluate design docs across diverse software projects. The audit assesses specifications against established quality criteria, producing consistent scoring and structured findings regardless of the specific domain.

How does a spec analysis report help with risk management in software engineering?

A spec analysis report mitigates risk by identifying quality gaps, ambiguous language, and missing cross-cutting concerns like security or observability before implementation. It delivers a structured remediation plan to address potential failures early in the lifecycle.

What types of documents are supported by a rigorous specification review process?

A rigorous specification review process supports Product Requirements Documents (PRDs), Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), Requests for Comments (RFCs), and technical design docs. It audits these formats to generate structured findings and remediation workflows.

Do I need a cross-cutting concerns checklist when auditing a design doc for compliance and performance?

Yes, using a cross-cutting concerns checklist is necessary when auditing a design doc to verify compliance, performance, observability, and security. It systematically surfaces missing requirements across critical domains before implementation.
