What is the EARS format used in this skill?

EARS stands for Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax. It is a set of structured patterns (Event-driven, Conditional, State-driven, etc.) used to write clear, non-ambiguous, and testable requirements.

Why does the skill focus on 'What' instead of 'How'?

Focusing on 'What' (the outcome) ensures that requirements remain flexible for different technical implementations while still meeting the core business need.

How does this skill prevent scope creep?

The skill utilizes a 'Project Constitution' and dedicated 'Out of Scope' sections in its documentation structure to define boundaries and guiding principles before coding starts.

Can I use this for non-functional requirements?

Yes, the skill includes specific categories and questions to define performance, security, accessibility, scalability, and reliability requirements.
