Project Framing

Purpose

Use this skill before writing candidate truth when the project idea is still vague.

The goal is to clarify the original problem, not to design implementation. The output remains discussion context until written into a candidate Spec through specFlow truth writeback.

Process

1. Read only the repository context needed to understand whether an existing unit, rule, or boundary may own the idea.
2. Translate the user's wording into ordinary-language goal, actor, desired outcome, and success meaning before naming internal specFlow owners.
3. Ask one focused question at a time when user intent cannot be discovered from repository truth.

• phrase the question in user-goal language
• do not ask the user to choose unit, rule, or stable g_ rule

1. Clarify these minimum facts:

• target user or actor
• problem or need
• desired outcome
• success criteria
• first version non-goals

1. When a fact becomes confirmed and affects formal behavior, mark it as candidate-writeback material.
2. Do not continue into implementation planning.

Output Shape

Report the framing result in plain language:

1. goal
2. target_user_or_actor
3. problem
4. success_criteria
5. first_version_non_goals
6. candidate_writeback_items
7. open_questions

Boundaries

1. Do not keep confirmed behavior only in chat once it will constrain implementation.
2. Do not create a new unit by naming alone; governance routing still decides formal ownership.
3. Do not write implementation plans from this skill.
