Use when the user wants to extract project vision, decisions, or preferences into durable docs.
Use when README and ADRs should be built through a back-and-forth interview.
The whole purpose: extract as much of the user's taste, judgment, knowledge, vision,
preferences, and decisions as possible into text — saved as clear, concise
markdown docs for the project. README holds the vision; docs/adr/ holds the
decisions.
The loop
Check docs first, every time. Read docs/adr/ (and README.md) before
doing anything — other agents and people add/edit ADRs constantly.
Ask 5 different questions in plain text (never a questions UI) — default 5
unless the user asks for a different number. Make them high-variety: a wide,
creative spectrum of unique angles, not all the same type (e.g. not all "tech
stack" or all "product" or all "monetization"). Exception: if the user asks for a
specific focus area, follow it. The user answers whichever they find most useful.
Update docs after EVERY answer — no exceptions. You decide whether it
updates README.md or becomes a new ADR — whatever makes sense.
Repeat until the user says "we're done" (or similar).
Rules
All answers & responses during this "brain to docs" process must be VERY
CONCISE, all sentences should be SHORT, and everything should be written in
PLAIN ENGLISH.
Don't challenge the user's thinking unless they ask, or they're making a severe mistake.
Limitations
Adapted from davidondrej/skills; verify local paths, tools, credentials, and agent features before acting.
For commands, remote access, scheduling, browser automation, or file-changing workflows, get explicit user approval and confirm the target environment first.
