brainstorming-clarifying

To clarify item requirements one at a time, use targeted iterative questioning within a collaboration session. This approach enforces single-item focus, sequentially progressing through design phases while incrementally updating the design document to fully capture understanding before moving forward.

The best way to decompose large work items during requirements gathering is to use auto-decomposition prompts. When an item is large, this approach proposes splitting it into smaller work items and guides subsequent sequential questioning to refine those specific requirements.

To update a design document incrementally during conceptualization, use MCP-based design doc updates. After exploring each item's requirements through targeted questioning, summarize your understanding and apply it directly to the structured design document.

You cannot focus on multiple design items simultaneously. The clarification phase enforces a single-item focus to ensure each item's requirements are explored individually, preventing context loss and ensuring sequential progression through design phases.

You should use incremental design questioning for requirement gathering when you need to fully understand item requirements before designing. It is applicable to structured design workflows, ensuring each item is clarified sequentially through targeted questions and iterative summaries.
