Understanding Feature Requests

Interactive workflow for clarifying feature requests and ensuring they don't conflict with existing requirements.

Step 1: Clarify the Request

When the user proposes a feature or change, ask clarifying questions to understand:

Core Questions (always ask):

• What problem does this solve for the user?
• Who is the target user/persona?
• What is the expected outcome or behavior?

Exploratory Questions (for open-ended or vague requests):

• "What inspired this feature idea?"
• "Have you seen this done well elsewhere? What did you like about it?"
• "What would make this feature 'delightful' vs just 'adequate'?"
• "What's the simplest version that would provide value?"
• "If you had to cut half the scope, what would you keep?"
