SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Complex feature requests, vague requirements, and scope changes often lead to misalignment and wasted development effort. This Skill enforces a structured, Socratic questioning protocol to surface the essential details before any coding begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enforces mandatory questions before implementation to reduce risk of scope creep.
Dynamic question generation guided by documented principles (context before content, avoiding assumptions).
Progress reporting and error handling to keep stakeholders informed and accountable.
Domain-aware questioning with domain-specific question banks for clear decision points.

Quick Start

Provide a vague feature request to trigger the three-question blocking flow.

How do I clarify complex feature requests before development begins?▼

To clarify complex feature requests, a structured Socratic questioning protocol surfaces essential details by asking mandatory questions before implementation begins.

What is Socratic questioning for product management requirements gathering?▼

Socratic questioning for requirements gathering is a protocol that enforces asking three mandatory questions to document context, avoid assumptions, and establish clear decision points for new features.

How do I prevent scope creep when handling vague requirements?▼

You prevent scope creep by applying a blocking flow that requires answering purposeful questions about vague requirements, ensuring feature scope is fully defined before any coding starts.

Can I use dynamic question generation for unclear product requirements?▼

Yes, dynamic question generation is supported for unclear product requirements, creating domain-specific questions that guide stakeholders through clear decision points and explicit constraints.

Does the Socratic questioning protocol handle progress reporting and errors?▼

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

When should I not use a Socratic questioning approach for feature scope?▼

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.
