Stop prompting. Start specifying.

"The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning." The serpent doesn't repeat — it evolves.


When to use this skill

  • Before writing any code — expose hidden assumptions with Socratic interviewing
  • Long-running tasks that need autonomous iteration until verified
  • Vague requirements — crystallize them into an immutable spec (Ambiguity ≤ 0.2)
  • Tasks requiring guaranteed completion — loop until verification passes
  • When stuck — 5 lateral thinking personas break through stagnation
  • Drift detection — measure how far execution has deviated from original spec
