One of 4 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Enterprise clients are asking for external vendor guest permissions in our project workspace, but full seat licenses are too expensive for guest users. Before going deep into specs, create a solution brief that summarizes the problem, outlines the proposed UX solution, specifies the primary capabilities, details target outcomes and success metrics, notes what is out of scope, surfaces key risks, and lists action steps for the team.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Limits the problem summary to three sentences or fewer. | Missed | Passed |
| Restricts core features to between three and five capabilities. | Passed | Passed |
| Includes explicit trade-offs detailing rejected alternatives or out-of-scope capabilities. | Passed | Passed |

A solution brief is a concise, one-page document that communicates the proposed solution to a problem. It serves as the bridge between problem understanding and detailed specification, providing enough context for stakeholders to align on the approach without getting lost in implementation details. The one-page constraint forces clarity and prioritization.

Recap the Problem Summarize the problem in 2-3 sentences maximum. Don't re-explain the full problem statement - reference it if needed. The reader should immediately understand what pain point this solution addresses.
Describe the Proposed Solution Explain what you're building in clear, non-technical language. Focus on the user experience and core value proposition. Avoid implementation details - this is about what, not how.
List Key Features Identify 3-5 essential features that comprise the solution. These should be the minimum set needed to solve the problem. Resist the urge to include nice-to-haves - the one-page constraint demands focus.
Define Success Metrics Connect the solution to measurable outcomes. How will you know if this works? Reference metrics from the problem statement and set targets.
Acknowledge Trade-offs Document what you're explicitly NOT doing and why. Good solution briefs are honest about scope limitations and alternatives that were considered but rejected.
