SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the challenge of gathering requirements or clarifying complex problems by ensuring the AI acts as a structured interviewer rather than a passive responder.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Iterative Questioning: Asks one question at a time, adapting based on your previous answers to ensure deep exploration.
  • Critical Thinking: Acts as a partner that challenges flawed assumptions or suboptimal directions before proceeding.
  • Session Persistence: Automatically logs every question, intention, assumption, and answer into a dedicated markdown file to maintain a clear audit trail of the discovery process.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct a structured interview to elicit project requirements?

Structured requirement elicitation is conducted through adaptive, single-question-at-a-time interaction patterns that progressively explore your project needs. The AI acts as an active interviewer, adapting its next question based on your previous answers to ensure deep context discovery.

What's the best way to clarify complex problems before starting development?

Clarifying complex problems requires challenging flawed assumptions and suboptimal directions early. This approach acts as a critical thinking partner that questions your premises iteratively, ensuring you fully understand the problem space and document the discovery process before proceeding.

Can I save and audit the dialogue history from a requirement gathering session?

Yes, session persistence automatically logs every question, intention, assumption, and answer into a dedicated markdown file. This creates a clear audit trail of the discovery process, maintaining session continuity and ensuring the gathered requirements are fully documented for review.

Does the adaptive questioning workflow require local workspace file access?

Yes, the adaptive questioning workflow requires the ability to read and write files to the local workspace. This file access is essential for maintaining session persistence and ensuring the versioned record of the dialogue remains accessible and auditable.

When do I need an iterative interview approach instead of a single prompt?

An iterative interview approach is needed when initial requirements are vague or incomplete. By asking one question at a time and adapting based on your responses, it uncovers hidden context and challenges assumptions that a single prompt exchange would miss.
