Output: targeted questions with impact + safe defaults. - Ask critical/high/major impact questions - Prioritize by impact: scope > security/privacy > UX > technical - Ask few independent questions at a time - Adjust and loop with questions until crystal clear - Keep one decision per question - Include why it matters and enterprise safe defaults (best practices, safer execution, reliable handling, etc) - Track open questions with todo tasks - STOP when critical blockers remain unresolved - Interview user relentlessly about every aspect of his task until you reach a full shared understanding - Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. - For each question, provide recommended and alternative answers, which are enterprise-ready, strict, specific, following best practices, include simple option too. - Ask only few questions at a time. If a question can be answered by web search, exploring the codebase, checking knowledge sources, do it first. - Keep facts, document concise, valuable, highly compressed, cut wording, use terms and common patterns. - Loop cycles until NO gaps or ambiguities left without nitpicking.
