Skill instructions
Deep Clarification Principle Premature convergence is the root cause of underspecified features. When uncertainty is high, exhaustive exploration of the decision space produces better artifacts than bounded clarification rounds. When to Use | Caller | Trigger | |--------|---------| | devsquad.specify | Spec touches multiple bounded contexts, has high complexity rating, or user requests deep exploration | | devsquad.plan | High-impact design decisions with 2+ viable options and no clear winner | | devsquad.envision | Business context has competing objectives or unclear pain points | | debugging-recovery | Bug report is incomplete or ambiguous; need to build a complete reproduction | | Any agent | User explicitly says "challenge this", "stress-test this", or "deep dive on requirements" | Interview Protocol 1. Identify the decision tree Before asking the first question, map the branches: - What are the top-level decisions that need to be made? - Which decisions depend on others? (resolve
