What problem does it solve?

Underspecified requests from stakeholders lead to misaligned scope and wasted effort; this skill guides teams to a shared understanding by eliciting intent, constraints, unknowns, risks, and success criteria to produce precise artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Elicit targeted clarifying questions to extract goals, constraints, risks, and acceptance criteria.
  • Generate a Feature Brief when the input is large, or a Story-Level Behavioral Spec for smaller work.
  • Provide structured handoffs to downstream workflows (e.g., slicing-stories) with clear acceptance criteria and scope.
  • Use templates and conventions from repository references to ensure consistency across teams.

Quick Start

Provide a vague requirement and the skill will ask targeted questions and generate a Feature Brief or Story-Level Behavioral Spec.
