What problem does it solve?

Ambiguous tasks and unclear requirements lead to wasted effort, rework, and frustration. This skill transforms vague requests into precise, actionable specifications through intelligent, context-aware, and progressive questioning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context-First Questioning: Automatically gather relevant codebase, CLI, and historical context before asking, avoiding redundant questions.
  • Layered Question Flows: Chain questions dynamically, building on prior answers to progressively refine understanding and explore implications.
  • Tool-Enhanced Discovery: Use CLI tools mid-flow to verify user mentions and ask more informed, precise questions based on real-time data.
  • Meta-Questioning: Periodically step back to reveal unstated constraints, identify missing information, and ensure overall alignment with user intent.
