What problem does it solve?
Groom helps turn an early, uncertain idea into a clear build direction before any work-doc is created. It is designed for moments when the user wants to explore possibilities, tradeoffs, and scope rather than jump straight into implementation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Socratic idea refinement: Runs an interactive conversation with 1 or 2 fork-point questions per turn to uncover the real decision behind the request.
- Reflection-first guidance: Mirrors the user's last message before asking the next question, keeping the conversation aligned and reducing misreads.
- Build-intent graduation: Detects when the user is ready to move from exploration to execution, then distills the discussion and hands off to the main hackify workflow.
- Use case: A user says they are "thinking about" a feature but are unsure about scope, tradeoffs, or implementation path; groom helps clarify the direction before planning starts.
Quick Start
Ask groom to help explore the idea and clarify the key fork in the decision before moving into build mode.
