SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill extracts the user's true intent before planning, specification, or coding by conducting a one-question-at-a-time interview until the underlying goals are clear, surfacing missing who/why/success/constraint, and identifying when the user explicitly asks for an interview.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hypothesize and report confidence before questions, with visible gaps to close.
  • Ask one-question-at-a-time with a attached GUESS for each question to surface and correct assumptions.
  • Identify want vs should want, require explicit restatement, and obtain a concrete, confirmed intent before downstream work.

Quick Start

State your underspecified ask to begin the interview; the agent will publish a hypothesis and pose the first clarifying question.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify project requirements before starting development?

To clarify project requirements before development, you conduct a one-question-at-a-time interview to surface missing who, why, and constraints. The process anchors questions to a running hypothesis, attaching a guess to each query to correct assumptions until underlying goals are clear.

What is the best way to discover true user intent for product planning?

Discovering true user intent for product planning involves distinguishing what users want versus what they should want. By hypothesizing and reporting confidence before questions, you close visible gaps and require explicit restatement to obtain a concrete, confirmed intent statement.

How does an intent discovery interview work with a running hypothesis?

An intent discovery interview works by anchoring each clarifying question to a running hypothesis and attaching a guess to surface and correct assumptions. It requires explicit confirmation to produce a final, signed intent statement before any downstream plan or specification is created.

Can I generate specifications directly without confirming the intent statement?

No, you cannot generate specifications directly without confirming the intent statement. The process requires explicit confirmation and restatement to produce a final, signed intent statement before any downstream plan or specification is created.

When do I need to conduct a requirements clarification interview?

You need to conduct a requirements clarification interview when you have an underspecified ask before planning, specification, or coding. It identifies missing who, why, success criteria, and constraints to ensure the underlying goals are completely clear before downstream work.
