SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Facilitate focused, goal-oriented discussions to reach clear conclusions without implementing code, reducing drift and decision ambiguity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured, one-question-at-a-time discussions to maintain focus and prevent scope creep.
  • Propose concrete options with trade-offs and surface decisions for faster convergence.
  • Ground discussions in the actual codebase or project context, and capture outcomes as Spectra artifacts (proposals, design notes) for traceability.

Quick Start

Initiate a discuss session by stating the topic after /spectra-discuss and follow the prompts to converge on a conclusion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I facilitate focused discussions to reach clear architectural decisions without writing code?

To facilitate focused discussions for architectural decisions without writing code, initiate a discuss session to enforce boundaries, propose concrete options with trade-offs, and converge on clear conclusions. This prevents scope creep and decision ambiguity.

What is the best way to structure problem-solving debates to prevent scope creep?

The best way to structure problem-solving debates is enforcing one-question-at-a-time discussions. This structured approach maintains focus, proposes concrete options with trade-offs, and captures outcomes as artifacts to prevent scope creep.

Can I capture design decisions and proposals as artifacts during a discuss session?

Yes, you can capture design decisions and proposals as Spectra artifacts during a discuss session. This grounds the conversation in your project context and ensures traceability for architectural choices and problem-solving outcomes.

How do I stop drift and ambiguity when making architectural design decisions?

To stop drift and ambiguity during architectural design decisions, use a goal-oriented discuss mode that enforces boundaries against code implementation. This drives focused conversations to a converged conclusion and captures the outcome as a traceable artifact.

Does the discuss mode allow writing or implementing code during a design debate?

No, discuss mode does not allow writing or implementing code during a design debate. It enforces strict discuss-mode boundaries to keep the session focused on reaching clear conclusions and capturing design artifacts rather than generating code.

When do I need a structured discussion process for project design questions?

You need a structured discussion process for project design questions when outcomes must be converged before implementation. It ensures focused problem-solving, grounds debates in actual codebase context, and captures decisions as artifacts for future reference.
