CONOPS Builder

Use this skill to define intended use before requirements or design.

Workflow

  1. State the operational objective in user-visible terms.
  2. Identify actors, environment, preconditions, external interfaces, and constraints.
  3. Write the nominal scenario as observable user/system behavior.
  4. Write off-nominal and degraded scenarios, including trigger, system response, and recovery expectation.
  5. Separate behavior from design: say what must happen, not how to implement it.
  6. List assumptions, open questions, and unresolved interfaces.
  7. Output a CONOPS brief with: objective, actors, context, nominal flow, off-nominal flows, end state, assumptions, interfaces, and candidate requirements.
  8. Hand off candidate requirements to requirements-distiller; hand off intended-use checks to validation-planner.

Source grounding

Start with references/source-grounding.md, then inspect extraction/pages/page_060.md and Appendix S pages extraction/pages/page_261.md through extraction/pages/page_263.md before making CONOPS-specific claims.
