Can I create proposals for specific microservices?

Yes, you can use the --module flag followed by the path to the service to create a proposal within that specific module's documentation folder.

What happens after the proposal is created?

The skill provides the file path and reminds the user to fill in the content. It also integrates with a status tracking workflow for review and acceptance.

Does it support custom templates?

The skill uses a standardized proposal.md template located in your project's templates directory to ensure all team RFCs follow the same structure.

How does the skill handle document numbering?

The skill runs a script to scan the target proposals directory and automatically assigns the next available three-digit sequence number (e.g., 001, 002).

Does it automatically identify which developers are involved?

It extracts the author's name directly from your local Git configuration (user.name) to populate the proposal frontmatter automatically.

Learning & Documentation

Automates the creation of standardized Request for Comments (RFC) documents with automated numbering and template population.

The RFC Proposal Creator streamlines specification-driven development by generating structured proposal documents within your project. It automatically handles sequence numbering, enforces consistent slug naming conventions, and populates frontmatter with Git metadata and timestamps. The skill is context-aware, allowing you to create proposals for specific modules or cross-cutting changes at the repository root, while seeding the document with relevant background info from existing READMEs and architecture files to ensure high-quality documentation from the start.
