How does it handle conflicting user requirements?

The skill identifies mutually exclusive goals (e.g., 'zero latency' vs 'synchronous validation') and prompts the user to prioritize or acknowledge the trade-off.

What is the 'Definition of Done' requirement?

It is a mandatory final step where the skill summarizes the expected deliverables and success criteria to ensure the AI and user are fully aligned.

When is the best time to use this skill?

Use this skill immediately after gathering initial context but before starting any brainstorming, architectural design, or implementation phases.

Does this skill perform its own research?

It uses quick subagent queries to verify facts within the codebase or via the web, but saves deep research for the subsequent brainstorming phase.

Productivity & Workflow

Resolves requirement contradictions and disambiguates technical terms to ensure the right solution is built from the start.

This skill bridges the gap between raw user input and technical execution by systematically identifying contradictions, defining scope boundaries, and verifying underlying assumptions. By enforcing a structured 'Definition of Done' before the brainstorming phase, it prevents wasted effort on misaligned architectures or imprecise implementations. It is an essential tool for high-stakes software planning where technical ambiguity or unacknowledged trade-offs could lead to project drift.
