nahisaho Purpose Discovery
Discover the user's true objective through structured one-question-at-a-time dialogue.
Use This Skill When
- Starting a new consulting engagement or research project.
- The request is ambiguous or surface-level.
- Defining scope, constraints, and success criteria.
Workflow
- Decompose the request into 6 elements and present for approval ⏸️:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| PURPOSE | What decision or judgment to make |
| TARGET | What/who to investigate |
| SCOPE | Depth and breadth boundaries |
| TIMELINE | Timeframe and deadlines |
| CONSTRAINTS | Budget, access, regulatory limits |
| DELIVERABLES | Expected outputs and success criteria |
One-question-at-a-time dialogue (minimum 3 rounds):
- WHY: "Why is this investigation needed?"
- WHO: "Who will use the results?"
- WHAT-IF: "What action follows ideal results?"
- CONSTRAINT: "What limits exist on time/budget/scope?"
- SUCCESS: "What defines success?"
5 Whys analysis for abstract answers (drill to root cause).
JTBD analysis (3 jobs):
- Functional: What concrete task to accomplish
- Emotional: What feeling to achieve/avoid
- Social: How to be perceived by others
Define true objective and get user approval ⏸️.
Generate research plan with search queries (bilingual JP/EN).
Deliverables
results/purpose-definition.md: 6-element breakdown + true objective.results/research-plan.md: search queries, recommended frameworks, scope.
Quality Gates
- All 6 elements are addressed.
- Minimum 3 dialogue rounds completed.
- True objective is specific, actionable, and user-approved.
- Research plan includes bilingual search queries.
If any gate fails: identify the specific failing check, fix the issue, and re-validate before proceeding.
Gotchas
- 複数の質問を一度に投げてはならない。必ず1問1答形式で進める。情報過多は回答精度を下げる
- 5 Whys で5回掘り下げる必要がないケースもある。根本原因に到達したら停止する
- ユーザーの最初の依頼が「真の目的」であることは稀。表層的な依頼の裏にある本質を探ること
- 構造化プロンプトの承認なしに次のステップに進んではならない
- 対話ラウンドは最低3ラウンド。3ラウンド未満で「十分」と判断してはならない
- 構造化プロンプトの6要素に空欄がある場合は追加ヒアリングで埋めること
Validation Loop
- 6要素分解と真の目的を生成
- チェック:
- PURPOSE が意思決定に直結する形で記述されているか
- SCOPE が検証可能な範囲に絞られているか
- 真の目的が具体的かつ実行可能か
- 不合格なら対話を追加して修正
- ユーザー承認後のみ完了
