The Socratic questioning protocol includes progress reporting and error handling to keep stakeholders informed and accountable throughout the requirements clarification process.

You should avoid using Socratic questioning for feature scope when requests are already fully detailed, as the mandatory three-question blocking flow is specifically designed for unclear or complex requirements.
