What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables you to conduct in-depth, Socratic interviews with your ideas before committing to a spec, identifying assumptions, trade-offs, and areas of improvement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-specification Interviews: Evaluate raw ideas thoroughly.
  • Three-Phase Structure: Understand intent, stress-test trade-offs, and propose new angles.
  • Depth Tunable: Customize the level of depth in questioning (easy, medium, hard).
  • Use Case: Use the 'interview my-new-feature' command to walk through an idea for a new feature with a series of targeted questions.

Quick Start

Interview your new feature idea by typing: interview my-new-feature

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a feature idea before writing a specification?

Idea validation before specification involves applying Socratic questioning to surface assumptions and trade-offs. This Skill structures that process into targeted interviews, ensuring deep understanding of feasibility before you commit to development specs.

What is the best way to stress-test assumptions during the pre-specification phase?

Stress-testing assumptions in the pre-specification phase is best achieved through structured Socratic questioning. This approach evaluates trade-offs and risks, ensuring your core concept is thoroughly validated before any development work begins.

Can I adjust the depth of Socratic questioning when evaluating a new feature idea?

Yes, you can adjust the depth of Socratic questioning during idea validation. The interview process supports easy, medium, and hard depth levels, allowing you to tune the rigor of risk assessment and feature evaluation to your project's complexity.

How do I start an interview to evaluate my new feature idea?

To start an interview to evaluate your new feature idea, you initiate a structured Socratic questioning session focused on pre-specification idea validation. This walks you through targeted queries that assess risks, trade-offs, and overall feasibility before development.

Does idea validation through Socratic questioning work for assessing development risks?

Idea validation through Socratic questioning works for assessing development risks by systematically uncovering trade-offs and assumptions during the pre-specification phase. This ensures a deep understanding of potential failures and feasibility before you write any specs.
