What problem does it solve?

This Skill assists in concise user questioning during Skillgrid phases, ensuring clear communication and record-keeping of answers in durable artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intent Gate: Classifies user intent before executing commands, preventing wrong-phase work.
  • Ask Only Blocking Questions: Ensures critical questions are asked only when needed to make decisions.
  • Explore Before Asking: Gather evidence from the repository before asking questions.
  • Brainstorming Gate: Shapes vague ideas into approved directions for PRDs, specs, tasks, or implementation.
  • Question Batch Size: Asks 1-2 critical questions at a time, with a preferred multiple-choice approach.
  • Decision-Tree Interview Mode: Uses a structured interview process for complex decisions.
  • Record Answers: Writes decisions and assumptions to the right artifact for traceability.
  • Avoid Interview Loops: Ensures questioning unblocks progress and doesn't become a ritual.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent wrong-phase work during collaborative project management?▼

You can prevent wrong-phase work by classifying user intent before executing commands, which ensures actions align with the current project phase and blocks inappropriate development workflows.

What is the best way to ask blocking questions during development workflows?▼

The best way to ask blocking questions is to explore the repository for evidence first, then ask only 1-2 critical multiple-choice questions at a time to unblock decision-making without creating interview loops.

How do I record decisions and assumptions for traceability in project management?▼

Record decisions and assumptions by writing them to durable artifacts during questioning phases, ensuring project management traceability and preventing lost context across collaborative development workflows.

Can I use a structured interview process for complex project decision-making?▼

Yes, a decision-tree interview mode supports complex decision-making by structuring the questioning process, shaping vague ideas into approved directions for PRDs, specs, or implementation tasks.

When should I not use multiple-choice questioning in collaborative development?▼

Avoid multiple-choice questioning for complex decisions requiring nuanced input, where decision-tree interview mode is more suitable, or when asking non-blocking questions that create unnecessary interview loops.
