dev-rfc
Dev RFC Skill
Write RFCs and technical proposals that serve two purposes: aligning stakeholders on what to build and why (RFCs), and helping engineers understand how a system works (architecture docs). Most real proposals blend both — the skill helps you pick the right sections for the situation.
Reference Templates
Read references/template.md for the three structural templates:
- RFC — for pre-build alignment. Focuses on abstract, approaches (with fair comparison), service SLAs, observability, and rollout plan.
- Architecture Doc — for documenting built systems. Focuses on diagrams, source tree, data flow, design philosophy.
- One-Pager — for small changes (< 1 week). Problem, Proposed Solution, Rollout. ~20 lines.
Step 0: Pick the Mode
Ask the user (or infer from context) which situation they're in:
| Situation | Mode | Key question the doc answers |
|---|---|---|
| Planning a new system or major change | RFC | "Should we build this, and how?" |
