To reduce ambiguity in software specifications, Socratic questioning clarifies phase requirements through structured interview rounds. It scores ambiguity levels and enforces a strict gate to generate a falsifiable SPEC.md, ensuring requirements are clear before implementation.

Socratic spec refinement is a process that elicits and refines requirements through structured questioning across software phases. It loads codebase context, runs interview rounds, scores ambiguity, and produces a gated SPEC.md to ensure falsifiability prior to implementation.

You generate a falsifiable SPEC.md by running a spec-phase workflow that loads codebase context and conducts Socratic questioning. The workflow applies a strict gate and commit step, scoring ambiguity to ensure the specification is falsifiable before proceeding.

Yes, specification refinement integrates with sequential pipelines by tying spec-phase to discuss-phase, plan-phase, and execute-phase. After generating the committed SPEC.md, the workflow connects directly to these subsequent steps for continuous development.

You should use Socratic questioning for software specification workflows when you need to clarify phase requirements and reduce ambiguity before the discuss-phase. It is essential when producing a falsifiable SPEC.md requires strict gating and context loading across codebases.
