What problem does it solve?
The problem this skill addresses is the tendency to misinterpret user requests, which leads to building technically correct but useless solutions. It emphasizes identifying load-bearing features, surfacing implicit expectations, and sanity-checking interpretations to ensure outcomes align with the user's actual goals.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Systematic interpretation: before planning or implementing a request, rewrite the user’s objective in plain language and surface implicit assumptions.
- Load-bearing feature identification: quickly isolate the critical elements that determine success and guard against scope creep.
- Sanity-check and verification: apply a multi-phase approach to validate understanding and ensure alignment with user intent.
Quick Start
Restate the user’s request in plain language and identify implicit assumptions before planning any work.
