Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Design and resolve RFC documents through evidence-gated multi-round workflow. Use when planning large architectural/program-level changes in docs/rfcs, enforcing goal/scope/direction clarity, explicit first-principles/long-term/original-fit proposal lenses with rationale, draft-to-formal progression, and resolve-time synchronization with task/backlog outcomes before issue closure.Key capabilities
- →Research architectural changes
- →Draft RFC documents
- →Evaluate design alternatives
- →Resolve RFC implementation
How it works
It guides the user through a structured research, proposal, and consensus-building process for architectural changes.
Inputs & outputs
When to use rfc
- →Propose new architectural changes
- →Evaluate design alternatives for database systems
- →Resolve post-implementation RFC synchronization
About rfc
Guides users through deep research, proposal drafting, and formal consensus-building for architectural changes. Ensures all proposals are vetted against project design principles before implementation.
Design and resolve RFC documents through evidence-gated multi-round workflow. Use when planning large architectural/program-level changes in docs/rfcs, enforcing goal/scope/direction clarity, explicit first-principles/long-term/original-fit proposal lenses with rationale, draft-to-formal progression
When not to use it
- →When the change is trivial or non-architectural
- →When the project does not follow the RFC process
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires adherence to RFC process
- →Formal status transitions required
How it compares
It enforces a rigorous, evidence-gated workflow for architectural decisions, ensuring alignment with project principles.

gathering-requirements
CaptainCrouton89
Systematically clarify user needs, preferences, and constraints before planning or implementation. Classifies work type, investigates existing systems, discovers edge cases and integration points, resolves assumptions, and creates detailed specifications. Use when building features, enhancements, or integrations where requirements need clarification.
trellis-brainstorm
mindfold-ai
Guides collaborative requirements discovery before implementation. Creates task directory, seeds PRD, asks high-value questions one at a time, researches technical choices, and converges on MVP scope. Use when requirements are unclear, there are multiple valid approaches, or the user describes a new feature or complex task.
