What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you turn ambiguous, open-ended tasks into a traceable planning conversation by making assumptions explicit and guiding iterative human decisions instead of producing an ungrounded final answer.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Decision-round planning for ambiguity: Runs concise P2A rounds to clarify goals, boundaries, risks, and tradeoffs when early wrong choices cause rework.
- Assumption challenge + convergence: Early rounds challenge weaknesses and explore divergent directions, then progressively converge to a draft and finally a final plan.
- Durable state artifacts: Maintains PLAN.md, DECISIONS.md, and OPEN_QUESTIONS.md (and FINAL_PLAN.md when converged) so reasoning is preserved and replayable.
Quick Start
Use Ask_Why to help you design a product workflow by asking it to run decision rounds and produce PLAN.md, DECISIONS.md, OPEN_QUESTIONS.md, and then FINAL_PLAN.md after the direction is clear.
