Skill instructions

Requirements Author Skill Overview This skill defines how to produce and evolve requirements documents across the project lifecycle for two document types: the Business Requirements Document (BRD) and the Product Requirements Document (PRD). Shared requirements-engineering knowledge lives in references/shared/, while BRD-specific and PRD-specific knowledge live in references/brd/ and references/prd/ so each consuming agent loads only what its document needs. The canonical BRD template is brd-full.md with its brd-frontmatter-overlay.md, and the canonical PRD template is prd-full.md. The BRD Builder dispatches into the BRD phase anchors (discover, define, govern); the PRD Builder dispatches into the PRD phase anchors (prd-assess through prd-finalize). Use this skill with the references for the active document scope: Shared (references/shared/): Requirements Definition Traceability Naming Traceability Matrix BRD scope (references/brd/): BRD-to-PRD Handoff Outcome Hypothesis-to-BRD Handoff
