deep-interview

Socratic requirement gathering transforms vague ideas into clear specifications through interactive questioning and weighted ambiguity scoring, iterating up to 20 rounds to reduce uncertainty.

Socratic requirement gathering applies an interactive hook protocol that uses vscode_askQuestions to collect structured input, enforcing a phase-based workflow to resolve ambiguity.

You can use this Socratic interview process for software, hardware, and services. The methodology is scenario-agnostic and applies directly to early-stage discovery and project scoping across all three domains.

To start a requirement gathering session in VSCode, trigger a deep-interview session when you have a vague idea. The interactive hook protocol will automatically prompt you with structured questions to begin the workflow.

An ambiguity score in requirements gathering is a math-based metric used to quantify uncertainty. It tracks how effectively the Socratic interview reduces vagueness across phases until a specification is crystallized for execution.

A limitation of automated Socratic questioning is that it requires active participation through interactive hooks, meaning the session relies on your continuous input across up to 20 rounds to resolve ambiguity effectively.
