SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Clarifies UP activity understanding by generating context-specific 5W2H questions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates 7 original, activity-specific 5W2H questions tailored to UP phases (vision, requirements, use-cases, sequence diagrams, etc.)
  • Produces a structured Q&A context to surface gaps, risks, and assumptions
  • Creates a compact artifact like 5W2H-[activity-name].md summarizing insights and open questions

Quick Start

Invoke the skill with /skill:up-5w2h [activity-name] to generate a tailored 5W2H question set and a summary artifact.

FAQPage Schema
What is the 5W2H framework for requirements analysis in the Unified Process?

The 5W2H framework for requirements analysis in the Unified Process clarifies activity understanding by generating seven context-specific questions covering Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How to surface gaps and assumptions across UP phases from inception to transition.

How do I generate 5W2H questions for a specific UP activity like use-case analysis?

To generate 5W2H questions for use-case analysis, invoke the skill with the target activity name. It produces a tailored seven-question set and a compact markdown summary artifact to guide your upfront analysis and surface open requirements.

Can I apply 5W2H analysis across all Unified Process phases from inception to transition?

Yes, you can apply 5W2H analysis across all Unified Process phases from inception to transition. The framework generates tailored questions for vision, requirements, use-cases, sequence diagrams, and conceptual models to enforce structured analysis.

What's the best way to document gaps and risks during UP requirements brainstorming?

The best way to document gaps and risks during UP requirements brainstorming is to generate a structured Q&A context using the 5W2H framework. It creates a compact markdown artifact summarizing insights and open questions for review.

Does this 5W2H question generation approach work for sequence diagram planning?

Yes, this 5W2H question generation approach works for sequence diagram planning by enforcing a structured seven-question framework tailored to that specific UP activity. It surfaces necessary assumptions and dependencies before diagram construction.
