SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Vague goals like "help me run my business with AI" often lead to over-engineered platforms or one-off prompts that never become repeatable workflows. This Skill turns a messy idea into a confirmed work target and then into a runnable AI work system with explicit human-approval gates, verification checks, and a small trial run. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Two-layer design process: Layer 1 refines a vague idea into a confirmed work target through an Idea Diagnostic and Confirmation Gate; Layer 2 produces a Work System Card with separate Prompt, Context, Harness, and Loop layers. - Right-sized architecture decisions: Decides whether the job needs a prompt, context pack, harness, loop, MCP, orchestrator, or reusable skill, treating MCPs and orchestrators as outputs rather than prerequisites. - Safety and verification built in: Enforces permission tiers so a minimal first version never performs external real-world writes, applies a verification ladder, and runs a maker-checker review gate before handoff. - Use Case: A founder pastes messy weekly facts and asks for an AI operating system; the Skill returns a plain-language brief, a weekly decision-review loop with human approval gates, a copyable starting prompt, and a trial run instead of a platform. ## Quick Start Use the system-wright skill to turn my vague goal of managing weekly business decisions with AI into a reusable work system with a trial run.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a vague idea into a reusable AI workflow?

Invoke the skill and describe your goal in plain language. It runs an idea diagnostic to find the real job, confirms the target with you, then designs a work system with Prompt, Context, Harness, and Loop layers plus a small trial run.

When should a workflow become a prompt, MCP, or orchestrator?

The skill decides by task shape: prompts for one-off low-risk tasks, context packs for stable background, harnesses for tool and file access, loops for repeating work, MCPs for live external system access, and orchestrators for multi-role staged coordination.

Does this skill work with Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor?

Yes, it follows the open Agent Skills SKILL.md standard and runs on Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and compatible backends. Only the install location differs per host; the skill body is runtime-neutral.

Can the designed system send emails or publish automatically?

No, not in the minimal first version. Every action is placed on a permission tier, and real-world writes like sending, publishing, or paying stay behind human approval gates until trust is established.

When should I not use this skill?

Avoid it for one-off rewrites, pure definitions, temporary checklists, or ordinary code review. It is meant for productizing recurring workflows, and it routes clearly trivial one-off requests to a light path instead of over-designing.
