2. Overall Description

2.1 Product Perspective

The Innovation Content project extends Roo Code's capabilities by providing domain-specific modes and skills tailored to educational content development. Each mode operates as a specialized agent with defined permissions, behaviors, and workflows.

2.2 Product Functions

1. Curriculum Design: Create and validate educational curricula
2. Instructional Writing: Produce engaging lesson content
3. Assessment Development: Design valid and reliable assessments
4. Content Production: Create multimedia educational materials
5. Learning Experience Design: Design engaging learner journeys
6. Accessibility Auditing: Ensure content meets accessibility standards

2.3 User Characteristics

User Role	Expertise	Primary Modes
Curriculum Designer	Educational design, standards alignment	curriculum-designer
Instructional Writer	Writing, pedagogy	instructional-writer
Assessment Developer	Psychometrics, measurement	assessment-dev
Content Producer	Multimedia production	content-producer
LX Designer	UX design, engagement	lx-designer
Accessibility Specialist	WCAG, assistive technology	accessibility-auditor

2.4 Constraints

• Modes must operate within defined file permissions
• Skills must be self-contained and documented
• All content must comply with educational standards
• Accessibility is mandatory, not optional

2.5 Assumptions
