What problem does it solve?

The Socratic interview skill ensures that user intentions and constraints are fully understood before taking on complex or ambiguous tasks, reducing misinterpretations and costly rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured, five-stage interview flow (Definition, Elenchus, Maieutic, Dialectic, Counterfactual) to extract goals, constraints, and success criteria.
• One-question-at-a-time interaction with a capped budget to avoid analysis paralysis.
• Alignment Summary deliverable that clarifies scope, assumptions, and next steps and requires user confirmation before execution.
• Hard-Gate enforcement to prevent work from starting without explicit confirmation.
• Applicable to product-management, requirements elicitation, and planning tasks across any domain.
