SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Facilitates structured, Socratic ideation to surface assumptions and route outputs to the appropriate artifacts, reducing cognitive load and decision fatigue.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Socratic probing: guides the developer through targeted questions to explore an idea.
  • Output routing: directs notes, todos, seeds, research questions, requirements, or new phases.
  • Topic-driven workflow: accepts an optional topic argument to tailor the exploration path for a given problem.

Quick Start

Initiate with a topic, then guide through probing questions, spawn any needed research, and route outputs to the appropriate GSD artifacts.

Frequently Asked Questions about gsd-explore

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure early-stage brainstorming to surface hidden assumptions?▼

Socratic ideation structures early-stage brainstorming by guiding targeted probing questions to surface assumptions and route outputs to notes, todos, or research questions. This reduces decision fatigue.

What is the best way to route ideation outputs into actionable workflow artifacts?▼

Output routing directs your ideation results into actionable workflow artifacts like notes, todos, seeds, and research questions. This satisfies modular prompt handling within your GSD workflows.

Can I use a specific topic argument to tailor my Socratic exploration path?▼

Yes, the Socratic exploration workflow accepts an optional topic argument to tailor the questioning path for a given problem. This enables focused, topic-driven ideation.

Does this Socratic questioning method work for open-ended topic exploration?▼

Yes, Socratic questioning is explicitly applied to open-ended brainstorming and topic-driven exploration. It clarifies ideas before action by reducing cognitive load during the ideation phase.

How do I start a topic-driven ideation workflow to clarify ideas before action?▼

Initiate the ideation workflow with a topic, then proceed through probing questions, spawn any needed research, and route outputs to appropriate artifacts to clarify ideas before action.
