SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps domain experts identify valuable professional pain points and translate their experience into a focused, buildable software product instead of starting with an unfocused feature list.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pain Discovery: Evaluate professional problems by frequency, intensity, market size, willingness to pay, and buildability.
  • Workflow Specification: Convert a painful task into a clear user workflow, happy path, edge cases, success criteria, and a narrowest viable product scope.
  • Market Validation: Separate personal preferences from shared market needs and create non-leading peer surveys to validate demand before building.
  • Use Case: A contractor can describe the time-consuming process of tracking project documents, then use the Skill to define a focused document workflow and survey other contractors about the same pain.

Quick Start

Use the translate skill to turn my professional experience as a [profession] and this pain point, [describe the painful task], into a focused SaaS opportunity and a buildable feature specification.

What is the best way to validate SaaS ideation before building?

The best way to validate SaaS ideation is to separate personal preferences from shared market needs by creating non-leading peer surveys to confirm demand for the specific workflow pain point.

How do I define a focused product scope for an industry-specific problem?

To define a focused product scope, translate the painful task into a clear user workflow, map edge cases, establish success criteria, and explicitly exclude nonessential v1 features.

Can I use domain expertise to generate feature specifications for AI coding tools?

Yes, you can use domain expertise to generate feature specifications for AI coding tools by structuring your pain analysis and workflow definition into a buildable product concept.

Does SaaS ideation require structured pain analysis?

Yes, SaaS ideation requires structured pain analysis to evaluate professional problems by frequency, intensity, market size, willingness to pay, and buildability before defining the workflow.

When should I not use a workflow specification approach for product validation?

You should not use a workflow specification approach when you already have an unfocused feature list instead of a validated industry-specific problem, as it requires peer validation and pain discovery first.
