Capturing project goals requires an interactive intent interview that elicits stakeholders' objectives, constraints, and success criteria. This skill guides a focused session to refine these inputs and generates a structured document defining the project goal.

Documenting project intent is best achieved using a template-driven approach that structures captured goals and metadata into a final specification document. This ensures precise problem framing and stakeholder alignment within a single session.

To start the Begin Intention phase, initiate the workflow and follow the prompted interview to capture and refine the project intent. The process completes both capture and refinement steps in one interaction, outputting a complete project intent file.

You can overwrite an existing in-progress project intent because the workflow checks for WIP awareness and offers overwrite or retake options. This prevents conflicts and ensures the intent document reflects the latest stakeholder alignment.

Template-driven project specification works for single-session generation by applying a structured template to format captured interview data. It completes both capturing and refining the project goals to write the final document in one session.

Framing project problems and aligning stakeholders is needed when starting software projects that require precise goal definition and constraint identification. An interactive interview extracts this initial project intent to establish a clear specification foundation.
