What problem does it solve?

Reify helps you take a vague idea, remembered fragment, or uncertain direction and turn it into one concrete outcome, a safe next step, or a usable handoff without inventing missing facts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Shape ambiguity into something testable: Convert a loose thought into a small artifact such as a sketch, decision record, title, or prototype.
  • Preserve evidence and reversibility: Keep a running record of decisions, assumptions, open questions, and revertable choices so another executor can resume safely.
  • Handle sensitive or missing details carefully: Ask only the blocking question, avoid invented biographical facts, and keep external actions deferred until targets and authorization are clear.

Quick Start

Use the reify skill to turn this vague thought into one concrete outcome and the smallest testable next step.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn vague brainstorming thoughts into concrete outcomes without inventing missing facts?

To turn vague brainstorming thoughts into concrete outcomes, you convert loose fragments into a small artifact like a decision record or sketch while using bracketed placeholders for missing facts. This ensures you shape ambiguity without fabricating details.

What is the best way to create a handoff document from an uncertain direction?

Creating a handoff document from an uncertain direction requires generating a validated brief that preserves evidence and lists reversible decisions. This allows another executor to safely resume work with full context.

How do I preserve evidence for reverted or scrapped decisions during capability discovery?

To preserve evidence for reverted or scrapped decisions, you maintain a running record of assumptions, open questions, and revertable choices. This record keeping ensures safe resumption during capability discovery and source retrieval.

Does collaborative shaping work when I have missing biographical details or sensitive targets?

Collaborative shaping handles missing biographical details by asking only the blocking question and deferring external actions until authorization is clear. It avoids inventing facts while processing fragments.

When should I not use a scratchpad for reification and decision records?

You should not use a scratchpad for reification when external actions are required before targets and authorization are clearly defined, or when you lack a mechanism to maintain reversible decisions for safe handoff.
