SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Interview the user relentlessly about every aspect of a plan until a shared understanding is reached, transforming vague ideas into precise, actionable requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Relentless, one-question-at-a-time interrogation to uncover assumptions and dependencies
  • Tracks and records delegated decisions to ensure traceability
  • Enforces bounded grilling with a clear exit criterion when the requirement is complete
  • Integrates with harness-engineering Phase 1 workflows to produce a fully specified requirement.md

Quick Start

Start by asking one clarifying question about the plan and continue until the requirement is fully written and agreed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify vague requirements for a project plan?

To clarify vague requirements, you can use a one-question-at-a-time interrogation approach that systematically uncovers assumptions and dependencies. This relentless grilling transforms uncertain ideas into a precise, actionable requirement document with bounded exit criteria.

What is the best way to elicit missing details for an incomplete requirement document?

Eliciting missing details for an incomplete requirement document involves enforcing a one-question-at-a-time interaction loop to uncover uncertainties. This tracks delegated decisions for traceability and applies a bounded exit criterion to ensure the final requirement is fully written and agreed upon.

How does one-question-at-a-time interviewing improve requirement scoping?

One-question-at-a-time interviewing improves requirement scoping by preventing overwhelming multi-part questions and forcing explicit answers to each dependency. It records every delegated decision to ensure traceability and drives the conversation toward a complete, written requirement.

Can I use structured grilling to track design decisions during requirement elicitation?

Yes, you can use structured grilling to track design decisions during requirement elicitation. The interrogation process explicitly records delegated decisions throughout the interview, ensuring full traceability of choices made while finalizing the actionable requirement document.

When should I use a relentless interrogation approach for task scoping?

You should use a relentless interrogation approach for task scoping when you face an incomplete or uncertain requirement. It is specifically applied during requirement elicitation to finalize design decisions and project plans when shared understanding has not yet been reached.

What are the limitations of automated grilling for writing requirement documents?

The limitation of automated grilling for writing requirement documents is that it requires sequential, one-question-at-a-time human responses to function, meaning it cannot autonomously generate specifications without active user participation throughout the entire bounded interrogation process.
