+ # /start Command Template
2
+
3
+ Use this template to generate the `/start` bootstrap command for any project.
4
+ Adapt all placeholders to the specific project's architecture, tech stack, and documentation.
5
+
6
+ ---
7
+
8
+ ```markdown
9
+ ---
10
+ description: Bootstrap entire {{PROJECT_NAME}} project from documentation. Generates monorepo skeleton, all packages, Docker configs, {{IF_DATABASE: database schema,}} core modules, and basic tests. $ARGUMENTS: optional flags --skip-tests, --skip-seed, --dry-run.
11
+ ---
12
+
13
+ # /start $ARGUMENTS
14
+
15
+ ## Purpose
16
+
17
+ One-command project generation from documentation → working monorepo with `docker compose up`.
18
+
19
+ ## Prerequisites
20
+
21
+ - Documentation in `docs/` directory (SPARC or idea2prd-manual output)
22
+ - CC toolkit in project root (CLAUDE.md, .claude/, .mcp.json)
23
+ - {{RUNTIME_PREREQUISITES}}
24
+ - Docker + Docker Compose installed
25
+ - Git initialized
26
+
27
+ ## Process
28
+
29
+ ### Phase 1: Foundation (sequential — everything depends on this)
30
+
31
+ 1. **Read all project docs** to build full context:
32
+ {{DOCS_TO_READ}}
33
+
34
+ 2. **Generate root configs:**
35
+ - `package.json` {{ROOT_PACKAGE_DETAILS}}
36
+ - `docker-compose.yml` (from Architecture)
37
+ - `.env.example` (from Completion/deployment docs)
38
+ - `.gitignore`
39
+ - {{ADDITIONAL_ROOT_CONFIGS}}
40
+
41
+ 3. **Git commit:** `chore: project root configuration`
42
+
43
+ ### Phase 2: Packages (parallel via Task tool ⚡)
44
+
45
+ Launch {{NUM_TASKS}} parallel tasks:
46
+
47
+ {{FOR_EACH_PACKAGE}}
48
+ #### Task {{LETTER}}: {{PACKAGE_PATH}} ⚡
49
+
50
+ Read and use as source:
51
+ {{PACKAGE_DOC_REFERENCES}}
52
+
53
+ Generate:
54
+ {{PACKAGE_FILE_LIST}}
55
+
56
+ **Commits:** {{PACKAGE_COMMITS}}
57
+ {{/FOR_EACH_PACKAGE}}
58
+
59
+ ### Phase 3: Integration (sequential)
60
+
61
+ 1. **Verify cross-package imports** (shared modules used correctly)
62
+ 2. **Docker build:** `docker compose build`
63
+ 3. **Start services:** `docker compose up -d`
64
+ {{IF_DATABASE}}
65
+ 4. **Database setup:**
66
+ - `{{MIGRATION_COMMAND}}`
67
+ - `{{SEED_COMMAND}}`
68
+ {{/IF_DATABASE}}
69
+ {{IF_NO_DATABASE}}
70
+ 4. *No database migration needed for this project*
71
+ {{/IF_NO_DATABASE}}
72
+ 5. **Health check:** `{{HEALTH_CHECK_COMMAND}}`
73
+ 6. **Run tests:** {{TEST_COMMANDS}}
74
+ 7. **Git commit:** `chore: verify docker integration`
75
+
76
+ ### Phase 4: Finalize
77
+
78
+ 1. Generate/update `README.md` with quick start instructions
79
+ 2. Final git tag: `git tag v0.1.0-scaffold`
80
+ 3. Report summary: files generated, services running, what needs manual attention
81
+
82
+ ## Output
83
+
84
+ After /start completes:
85
+ ```
86
+ {{PROJECT_STRUCTURE_AFTER_INIT}}
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ ## Flags
90
+
91
+ - `--skip-tests` — skip test file generation (faster, not recommended)
92
+ {{IF_DATABASE}}
93
+ - `--skip-seed` — skip database seeding
94
+ {{/IF_DATABASE}}
95
+ - `--dry-run` — show plan without executing
96
+
97
+ ## Estimated Time
98
+
99
+ - With parallel tasks: {{ESTIMATED_TIME}}
100
+ - Files generated: {{ESTIMATED_FILES}}
101
+ - Commits: {{ESTIMATED_COMMITS}}
102
+
103
+ ## Error Recovery
104
+
105
+ If a task fails mid-generation:
106
+ - All completed phases are committed to git
107
+ - Re-run `/start` — it detects existing files and skips completed phases
108
+ - Or fix the issue manually and continue
109
+
110
+ ## Swarm Agents Used
111
+
112
+ | Phase | Agents | Parallelism |
113
+ |-------|--------|-------------|
114
+ | Phase 1 | Main | Sequential |
115
+ | Phase 2 | {{NUM_TASKS}} Task tools | ⚡ Parallel |
116
+ | Phase 3 | Main | Sequential |
117
+ | Phase 4 | Main | Sequential |
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ ---
121
+
122
+ ## Fill Instructions
123
+
124
+ ### DOCS_TO_READ
125
+
126
+ List ALL documentation files the /start should read.
127
+
128
+ **For SPARC pipeline:**
129
+ ```markdown
130
+ - `docs/Architecture.md` → monorepo structure, Docker Compose, tech stack
131
+ - `docs/Specification.md` → data model, API endpoints, NFRs
132
+ - `docs/Pseudocode.md` → core algorithms, business logic
133
+ - `docs/Completion.md` → env config, deployment setup
134
+ - `docs/PRD.md` → features, user personas (for README)
135
+ - `docs/Refinement.md` → edge cases, testing strategy
136
+ ```
137
+
138
+ **For idea2prd-manual docs, also include:**
139
+ ```markdown
140
+ - `docs/ddd/strategic/` → bounded contexts, context map
141
+ - `docs/ddd/tactical/` → aggregates, entities, events
142
+ - `docs/adr/` → technology decisions
143
+ - `docs/tests/*.feature` → Gherkin test scenarios
144
+ ```
145
+
146
+ ### FOR_EACH_PACKAGE
147
+
148
+ Create one Task block per independent package/service from Architecture.
149
+ Each Task MUST include:
150
+ 1. **Doc references** — which docs to read for this package
151
+ 2. **File list** — all files to generate (source, configs, tests)
152
+ 3. **Commits** — semantic commit messages per logical group
153
+
154
+ Mark tasks as ⚡ parallel when they have no cross-dependencies.
155
+ Tasks that depend on shared modules should note the dependency.
156
+
157
+ **For single-app monorepos (e.g. Next.js):**
158
+ Phase 2 may have only 1-2 tasks. This is normal — not all projects are multi-service.
159
+ Example: `⚡ Task A: apps/web` + `⚡ Task B: packages/shared`
160
+
161
+ **For multi-service monorepos:**
162
+ One task per service. Example: `⚡ Task A: packages/shared`, `⚡ Task B: packages/backend`, `⚡ Task C: packages/frontend`
163
+
164
+ ### IF_DATABASE / IF_NO_DATABASE
165
+
166
+ Check Architecture.md for database presence:
167
+ - If PostgreSQL/MongoDB/MySQL/Redis mentioned → use `{{IF_DATABASE}}` block
168
+ - Set `{{MIGRATION_COMMAND}}` to correct ORM command:
169
+ - Prisma: `npx prisma migrate dev --name init`
170
+ - TypeORM: `npx typeorm migration:run`
171
+ - Drizzle: `npx drizzle-kit push`
172
+ - Knex: `npx knex migrate:latest`
173
+ - Raw SQL: `psql -f init.sql`
174
+ - Set `{{SEED_COMMAND}}` similarly
175
+ - If NO database in Architecture → use `{{IF_NO_DATABASE}}` block, remove --skip-seed flag
176
+
177
+ ### Key Principles
178
+
179
+ 1. **Docs as source of truth** — every Task must reference specific docs, never generate from memory
180
+ 2. **Maximize parallelism** — independent packages run as parallel Tasks
181
+ 3. **Atomic commits** — one commit per logical change, not one giant commit
182
+ 4. **Full integration** — Phase 3 MUST include Docker build + start + health check (+ DB if applicable)
183
+ 5. **Error recovery** — git commits after each phase ensure progress is saved
184
+ 6. **Project-specific** — adapt ALL placeholders to actual tech stack and architecture
185
+
186
+ ### Adaptation Checklist
187
+
188
+ - [ ] All packages from Architecture have a Task in Phase 2
189
+ - [ ] All core algorithms from Pseudocode are assigned to correct packages
190
+ - [ ] Database section is conditional (included only if DB exists)
191
+ - [ ] Migration command matches actual ORM (Prisma/TypeORM/Drizzle/Knex/raw SQL)
192
+ - [ ] Docker services match docker-compose.yml from Architecture
193
+ - [ ] Health check endpoint matches actual API
194
+ - [ ] Test commands match actual test framework
195
+ - [ ] Env vars in .env.example match Completion/deployment docs
196
+ - [ ] Single-app monorepo handled correctly (fewer Phase 2 tasks)
197
+ - [ ] If DDD: bounded contexts map to packages/modules
198
+ - [ ] If Gherkin: test stubs generated from .feature files
199
+ - [ ] If external APIs: encrypted storage setup included
200

+
203
+ ## Adaptation Rules
204
+
205
+ The `/start` content MUST be adapted to the specific project:
206
+
207
+ | Project Aspect | How /start Adapts |
208
+ |---------------|------------------|
209
+ | **Monorepo packages** | One Task per package in Phase 2 |
210
+ | **Single-app monorepo** | May have only 1-2 Tasks (e.g. Next.js + shared) |
211
+ | **Tech stack** | Correct build/start/test commands per framework |
212
+ | **Database present** | Include ORM migration commands (Prisma/TypeORM/Drizzle/etc.) |
213
+ | **No database** | Skip migration/seed in Phase 3, remove {{MIGRATION_COMMAND}} |
214
+ | **Docker services** | All services from docker-compose.yml |
215
+ | **External APIs** | Adapter/client generation + encrypted storage setup |
216
+ | **DDD Bounded Contexts** | One module/package per context if applicable |
217
+ | **Pseudocode algorithms** | Core logic files generated from pseudocode |
218
+ | **Gherkin scenarios** | Test file stubs generated from .feature files |
219
+ | **Security patterns** | Auth middleware, encryption utils if required |
220
+

222
+
223
+ ## Example: What /start Generated for PredMarket
224
+
225
+ Real-world reference from a prediction market project (SPARC pipeline):
226
+
227
+ ```
228
+ Phase 1 (Foundation):
229
+ - docker-compose.yml (3 services: frontend, backend, postgres)
230
+ - root package.json with workspaces
231
+ - .env.example with all env vars
232
+ - tsconfig.base.json
233
+
234
+ Phase 2 (3 parallel Tasks):
235
+ ⚡ Task A: packages/shared
236
+ - LMSR engine (core math from Pseudocode.md)
237
+ - TypeScript types from data model
238
+ - Unit tests with invariant checks
239
+
240
+ ⚡ Task B: packages/backend
241
+ - Prisma schema from Specification.md data model
242
+ - 13 API endpoints from Architecture.md
243
+ - Service layer from Pseudocode.md algorithms
244
+ - Oracle adapters from Pseudocode.md
245
+ - Cron scheduler from Completion.md
246
+ - Zod schemas for all endpoints
247
+
248
+ ⚡ Task C: packages/frontend
249
+ - React pages from user stories
250
+ - Components from UI requirements
251
+ - Hooks (auth, markets, trading, wallet)
252
+ - API client, router setup
253
+
254
+ Phase 3 (Integration):
255
+ - docker compose build
256
+ - docker compose up -d
257
+ - npx prisma migrate dev --name init
258
+ - npx prisma db seed
259
+ - curl localhost:3001/health → verify
260
+
261
+ Phase 4 (Finalize):
262
+ - README.md with quick start
263
+ - git tag v0.1.0-scaffold
264
+ - Summary: 70+ files, 15 commits, all services running
265
+ ```
266
+
267
+ ---
268
+
269
+ ## Critical: /start MUST Reference Docs, Not Hallucinate
270
+
271
+ The `/start` command instructions must tell Claude Code to **read the actual docs** in `docs/`
272
+ directory, not generate code from memory. Each Phase 2 Task should include explicit references:
273
+
274
+ ```markdown
275
+ ### Task B: packages/backend ⚡
276
+ Read and use as source:
277
+ - `docs/Specification.md` → data model → Prisma schema
278
+ - `docs/Architecture.md` → API endpoints → route files
279
+ - `docs/Pseudocode.md` → algorithms → service implementations
280
+ - `docs/Completion.md` → env config → config.ts
281
+ ```
282
+
283
+ This ensures generated code matches the documentation, not Claude's assumptions.

18
+
19
+ **Never solve before you understand.** Most failed solutions solve the wrong problem. This skill ensures the real problem is understood before any solution is proposed.
20
+
21
+ Key principles:
22
+ - Questions unlock understanding; answers often hide assumptions
23
+ - The stated goal is rarely the real goal
24
+ - Constraints reveal opportunities
25
+ - Success criteria prevent scope creep
26
+
27
+ ## Task Classification
28
+
29
+ Before asking questions, classify the task type to select appropriate exploration dimensions:
30
+
31
+ | Task Type | Indicators | Primary Dimensions |
32
+ |-----------|------------|-------------------|
33
+ | **Product/Feature** | "build", "create app", "develop" | Outcome, Users, Constraints, Success |
34
+ | **Problem Solving** | "fix", "solve", "issue with" | Root Cause, Constraints, Attempted Solutions |
35
+ | **Decision Making** | "should I", "choose between", "evaluate" | Criteria, Tradeoffs, Timeline, Reversibility |
36
+ | **Creative** | "write", "design", "make content" | Audience, Tone, Format, Examples |
37
+ | **Research** | "find out", "analyze", "understand" | Scope, Depth, Sources, Deliverable |
38
+ | **Process/Workflow** | "how to", "improve process" | Current State, Desired State, Blockers |
39
+
40
+ ## Exploration Dimensions
41
+
42
+ Select 3-5 dimensions based on task type. Each dimension has multiple question variants—choose the most natural for context.
43
+
44
+ ### 1. The Real Objective
45
+ Uncover what success truly looks like, beyond the stated request.
46
+
47
+ **Questions:**
48
+ - "If this worked perfectly, what would be different in your [work/life/business]?"
49
+ - "What outcome would make you say 'this was absolutely worth it'?"
50
+ - "Is this goal a means to something else, or the end itself?"
51
+ - "If you could wave a magic wand and have any result, what would you choose?"
52
+
53
+ **Red flags to probe:** Generic goals ("make it better"), proxy metrics, solutions presented as requirements.
54
+
55
+ ### 2. Constraints & Boundaries
56
+ Identify hard limits that shape the solution space.
57
+
58
+ **Questions:**
59
+ - "What's absolutely off the table—budget, time, technology, or approach-wise?"
60
+ - "What existing systems, processes, or decisions must this work with?"
61
+ - "Who needs to approve this, and what are their non-negotiables?"
62
+ - "What would disqualify a solution, even if it technically works?"
63
+
64
+ **Red flags to probe:** No constraints mentioned (usually means hidden ones), unrealistic expectations.
65
+
66
+ ### 3. Available Resources
67
+ Understand leverage points and existing assets.
68
+
69
+ **Questions:**
70
+ - "What do you already have that we could build on—data, tools, people, prior work?"
71
+ - "Who else is involved, and what can they contribute?"
72
+ - "What similar problems have you solved before, and what worked?"
73
+ - "What's your actual capacity to implement this?"
74
+
75
+ **Red flags to probe:** Overestimated capabilities, unacknowledged dependencies.
76
+
77
+ ### 4. Timeline & Urgency
78
+ Distinguish real deadlines from arbitrary ones.
79
+
80
+ **Questions:**
81
+ - "What happens if this takes 2x longer than expected?"
82
+ - "Is there a hard deadline, and what's driving it?"
83
+ - "Would you prefer a quick 80% solution or a slower 100% solution?"
84
+ - "What's the cost of delay vs. the cost of getting it wrong?"
85
+
86
+ **Red flags to probe:** Artificial urgency, no clear driver for deadline.
87
+
88
+ ### 5. Success Criteria
89
+ Define what "done" actually means.
90
+
91
+ **Questions:**
92
+ - "How will you know this is successful? What will you measure?"
93
+ - "Who decides if this is good enough, and what will they look for?"
94
+ - "What's the minimum viable outcome that would still be valuable?"
95
+ - "In 6 months, what would make you regret the approach we took?"
96
+
97
+ **Red flags to probe:** Vague criteria ("stakeholders will be happy"), moving targets.
98
+
99
+ ### 6. Attempted Solutions (for problems)
100
+ Learn from what hasn't worked.
101
+
102
+ **Questions:**
103
+ - "What have you already tried, and why didn't it work?"
104
+ - "What solutions have you considered but rejected?"
105
+ - "What would the obvious solution be, and why isn't that good enough?"
106
+
107
+ ### 7. Audience & Stakeholders (for products/content)
108
+ Understand who this serves.
109
+
110
+ **Questions:**
111
+ - "Who specifically will use this, and what's their context when they do?"
112
+ - "What does your audience already know or believe about this?"
113
+ - "Who might be negatively affected, and does that matter?"
114
+
115
+ ## Execution Protocol
116
+
117
+ ### Phase 1: Initial Assessment (1 turn)
118
+
119
+ 1. Parse the user's request
120
+ 2. Identify what's already clear from context
121
+ 3. Classify task type
122
+ 4. Select 3-5 most critical dimensions
123
+ 5. Note any immediate red flags or assumptions
124
+
125
+ ### Phase 2: Adaptive Questioning (3-7 turns)
126
+
127
+ **Rules:**
128
+ - Ask ONE question at a time
129
+ - Make questions specific and decision-shaping, not generic
130
+ - Challenge vague answers: "Can you be more specific about...?"
131
+ - Acknowledge answers before next question
132
+ - Skip dimensions already clarified
133
+ - Stop when you have enough to create a clear brief
134
+
135
+ **Question Sequencing:**
136
+ 1. Start with Real Objective (reveals the most)
137
+ 2. Follow with Constraints (narrows solution space)
138
+ 3. Then Success Criteria (defines done)
139
+ 4. Fill gaps with other dimensions as needed
140
+
141
+ **Adaptive behavior:**
142
+ - If user gives detailed answer → compress follow-ups
143
+ - If user seems frustrated → summarize and ask if they want to continue
144
+ - If contradiction detected → gently probe: "Earlier you mentioned X, but now Y—help me understand?"
145
+
146
+ ### Phase 3: Task Brief Synthesis (1 turn)
147
+
148
+ After sufficient exploration, synthesize into a **Task Brief**:
149
+
150
+ ```
151
+ ## Task Brief
152
+
153
+ **Objective:** [Clear statement of what we're actually solving]
154
+
155
+ **Context:** [Relevant background and constraints]
156
+
157
+ **Success Criteria:**
158
+ - [Measurable criterion 1]
159
+ - [Measurable criterion 2]
160
+
161
+ **Constraints:**
162
+ - [Hard constraint 1]
163
+ - [Hard constraint 2]
164
+
165
+ **Resources Available:** [What we can leverage]
166
+
167
+ **Timeline:** [Deadline and urgency level]
168
+
169
+ **Key Assumptions:** [Things we're assuming that could change the approach]
170
+
171
+ **Out of Scope:** [Explicitly excluded items]
172
+ ```
173
+
174
+ Ask user: "Does this capture what you need? Anything to add or correct?"
175
+
176
+ ### Phase 4: Handoff
177
+
178
+ Once validated, either:
179
+ - Proceed to solution (if user wants immediate help)
180
+ - Export brief for later use
181
+ - Suggest appropriate next steps/skills
182
+
183
+ ## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
184
+
185
+ ❌ **Interrogation mode:** Don't fire questions robotically
186
+ ❌ **Assuming context:** Don't skip clarification because you "think" you understand
187
+ ❌ **Premature solutions:** Don't hint at solutions before exploration is complete
188
+ ❌ **Over-questioning:** Stop when you have enough clarity
189
+ ❌ **Generic questions:** Each question should be tailored to this specific task
190
+ ❌ **Ignoring signals:** If user provides info proactively, don't re-ask
191
+
192
+ ## Example Flow
193
+
194
+ **User:** "I want to create a dashboard for my team"
195
+
196
+ **Claude (Phase 1 assessment):**
197
+ - Task type: Product/Feature
198
+ - Unclear: Who uses it, what data, what decisions it enables, timeline
199
+ - Dimensions needed: Real Objective, Audience, Constraints, Success Criteria
200
+
201
+ **Claude:** "Before we dive in—what decisions will your team make differently once they have this dashboard? What's the main insight they're missing today?"
202
+
203
+ *[User answers about tracking project delays]*
204
+
205
+ **Claude:** "Got it—so the core need is visibility into project health to catch delays early. How do you know a project is delayed today? What's the current process for catching these issues?"
206
+
207
+ *[Continues adaptively based on answers...]*
208
+

+ # Advanced Questioning Techniques
2
+
3
+ Reference for sophisticated question patterns when standard approaches don't yield clarity.
4
+
5
+ ## Socratic Techniques
6
+
7
+ ### Clarifying Questions
8
+ When answers are vague or use undefined terms:
9
+ - "What do you mean by [term]?"
10
+ - "Can you give me a specific example of [concept]?"
11
+ - "How would you explain this to someone unfamiliar with your context?"
12
+
13
+ ### Assumption Probing
14
+ When hidden assumptions might be distorting the problem:
15
+ - "What would have to be true for this approach to work?"
16
+ - "What are you taking for granted here that might not be true?"
17
+ - "If you were wrong about [assumption], how would that change things?"
18
+
19
+ ### Consequence Exploration
20
+ When second-order effects matter:
21
+ - "If this succeeds, what problems might it create?"
22
+ - "Who might be affected that we haven't considered?"
23
+ - "What's the worst realistic outcome if this goes wrong?"
24
+
25
+ ### Perspective Shifting
26
+ When stuck in one frame:
27
+ - "How would [competitor/user/skeptic] view this?"
28
+ - "If you had to argue against this approach, what would you say?"
29
+ - "What would you advise someone else in this situation?"
30
+
31
+ ## Techniques for Specific Blockers
32
+
33
+ ### When user presents solution as requirement
34
+ "I need a mobile app for X"
35
+
36
+ **Approach:** Trace back to underlying need
37
+ - "What problem would the mobile app solve?"
38
+ - "How do users handle this today without the app?"
39
+ - "If a mobile app wasn't an option, how else might you solve this?"
40
+
41
+ ### When user can't articulate success
42
+ "I'll know it when I see it"
43
+
44
+ **Approach:** Use concrete scenarios
45
+ - "Imagine it's 6 months from now and this was a huge success—describe what's happening"
46
+ - "If you had to bet money on one metric improving, what would it be?"
47
+ - "What would your boss/customer/user say that would prove this worked?"
48
+
49
+ ### When constraints seem impossible
50
+ "We need enterprise features but have startup budget"
51
+
52
+ **Approach:** Separate hard from soft constraints
53
+ - "If you had to prioritize: which constraint is truly immovable?"
54
+ - "What's the minimum viable version that would still be valuable?"
55
+ - "What could you trade off to make this feasible?"
56
+
57
+ ### When user is emotionally invested
58
+ User seems attached to a specific solution
59
+
60
+ **Approach:** Validate, then explore
61
+ - "It sounds like you've thought about this a lot. What led you to this approach?"
62
+ - "What would make you reconsider this direction?"
63
+ - "What's the strongest argument against this that you've heard?"
64
+
65
+ ### When multiple stakeholders with conflicting needs
66
+ "My boss wants X but users want Y"
67
+
68
+ **Approach:** Map the conflict explicitly
69
+ - "Let's map out who wants what. What does your boss's ideal outcome look like?"
70
+ - "Where exactly do these needs conflict?"
71
+ - "Is there a version that gives each party their most important thing?"
72
+
73
+ ## Question Formulation Patterns
74
+
75
+ ### The Magic Wand
76
+ Removes artificial constraints to reveal true desires:
77
+ "If you could wave a magic wand and have any outcome, what would you choose?"
78
+
79
+ ### The Premortem
80
+ Surfaces hidden risks:
81
+ "Imagine this failed spectacularly—what went wrong?"
82
+
83
+ ### The Constraint Inversion
84
+ Challenges assumptions about limitations:
85
+ "What if [constraint] wasn't a factor—would you approach this differently?"
86
+
87
+ ### The Minimum Viable Success
88
+ Defines the essential core:
89
+ "What's the smallest version of this that would still be valuable?"
90
+
91
+ ### The Regret Test
92
+ Clarifies priorities over time:
93
+ "In a year, what would you regret not having done?"
94
+
95
+ ### The Opportunity Cost
96
+ Reveals trade-offs:
97
+ "What else could you do with the time/money/effort this would require?"
98
+
99
+ ### The Outsider View
100
+ Escapes insider bias:
101
+ "How would you explain this problem to someone completely outside your industry?"
102
+
103
+ ## Red Flags and Responses
104
+
105
+ | Red Flag | What It Might Mean | How to Probe |
106
+ |----------|-------------------|--------------|
107
+ | "Everyone knows..." | Unexamined assumption | "Help me understand—what's the evidence for this?" |
108
+ | "We've always done it this way" | Inertia, not strategy | "What originally drove this approach? Is that still true?" |
109
+ | "It's obvious that..." | Blind spot | "Walk me through why this is obvious—I want to make sure I understand" |
110
+ | "We just need to..." | Oversimplification | "What could go wrong with this approach?" |
111
+ | "ASAP" | Artificial urgency | "What specifically happens if this takes longer?" |
112
+ | No constraints mentioned | Hidden constraints | "What would disqualify a solution even if it technically works?" |
113
+ | Very specific solution stated | Solution fixation | "What problem does this solve? Are there other ways to solve it?" |
114
+
115
+ ## Calibrating Question Depth
116
+
117
+ ### Light Touch (1-2 questions per dimension)
118
+ Use when:
119
+ - User is experienced and already has clarity
120
+ - Task is straightforward
121
+ - Time is genuinely constrained
122
+ - User shows frustration
123
+
124
+ ### Deep Exploration (3-5 questions per dimension)
125
+ Use when:
126
+ - High stakes decision
127
+ - Multiple stakeholders
128
+ - Technical complexity
129
+ - User seems uncertain
130
+ - Contradictions in answers
131
+
132
+ ### Signs to Stop Questioning
133
+ - User is repeating themselves
134
+ - Answers are becoming terse
135
+ - You have enough for a clear brief
136
+ - User explicitly says "that's enough"
137
+ - Remaining questions are nice-to-know, not need-to-know
138
+
139
+ ## Cultural Considerations
140
+
141
+ Some users may:
142
+ - View detailed questions as distrust
143
+ - Expect to define solutions themselves
144
+ - Be uncomfortable with "why" questions
145
+ - Prefer to give context incrementally
146
+
147
+ **Adaptive responses:**
148
+ - Frame questions as "helping me help you better"
149
+ - Acknowledge their expertise: "You know this space—help me understand..."
150
+ - Use "what" instead of "why" when appropriate
151
+ - Offer to explain why you're asking
