What is a developer-facing overview and why do I need one for engineering communication?▼

A developer-facing overview explains why a technical change is happening, what is moving, and what the code will look like after. It translates dense tech specs into actionable guidance, reducing misinterpretation and speeding onboarding for impacted engineers.

How do I generate an overview document from a feature tech spec?▼

You generate an overview document by providing the feature tech spec at docs/features/{feature}/tech-spec.md. The skill reads this input and writes a structured overview to docs/features/{feature}/overview.md, consulting any accompanying analysis documents found in the same directory.

Can I include supporting analysis documents when generating a tech spec overview?▼

Yes, you can include supporting analysis documents. The skill automatically consults any accompanying analysis files located in the same docs/features/{feature}/ directory to clarify domains and constraints when generating the overview document.

Does the overview generation tool work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, the overview generation tool works without external dependencies. It operates directly on your local file structure to read the tech spec and write the developer-facing overview, requiring no additional packages or modules.
