interview

You surface missing design reasoning by applying intent-first questioning to ask why a specific decision was made, one question at a time. This iterative dialogue reduces unnoticed assumptions and weak alternatives during software architecture reviews.

Validate alternatives during a design review by probing whether at least one alternative approach was considered and tying suggestions directly to your stated intent. This ensures proposed options remain feasible and aligned with your goals.

Challenge implementation assumptions by applying trust-preserving constraints that avoid irrelevant generic advice. The guided questioning only suggests feasible alternatives tied strictly to your expressed goals during the intent elicitation process.

Yes, you can use intent elicitation for TDD and code implementation review. It applies to software architecture and implementation discussions where alternative approaches must be considered and validated against your underlying intent.

You should stop an iterative questioning session for design discussion when the design issues are fully exhausted or when you explicitly request to end the loop. The dialogue continues deepening across multiple points until one condition is met.
