What problem does it solve? Requests like "build me X" often arrive with no defined outcome, data source, or approach, and jumping straight into tracking or code produces the wrong thing. This Skill forces a short, structured dialogue that pins down what to build and how before any decomposition, tracking, or implementation begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Two-path classification: Choose between a Quick call (outcome mostly stated, one or two closing questions) and Explore (genuinely open outcome or approach, with 2-3 trade-offed options and a recommendation). - Hard approval gate: Blocks epic tracking, decomposition, builder spawning, and code until the user explicitly approves a plainly stated outcome and approach. - Orchestration handoff: Folds the approved outcome and approach directly into Gate/Intake of the orchestrate skill, with EPIC.md as the durable spec. - Use Case: A user says "I need a way to scrape competitor pricing." The Skill asks one question at a time about data sources and output shape, proposes two approaches with trade-offs, gets approval, then hands the pinned spec to orchestrate. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to brainstorm the outcome and approach for your new feature idea before any planning or coding begins.
