Goal Discussion & Solution Exploration (professional)

Purpose

Turn a vague request into an implementation-ready direction by clarifying the goal, surfacing constraints, comparing alternatives, and recommending an approach — before any planning or coding begins.

This is the single discuss skill for the core flow. It replaces discussing-goals, brainstorming, and brainstorming-pro.

When To Use

• when requirements are ambiguous or the solution shape is fuzzy
• before planning-pro on non-trivial feature or refactor work
• when multiple realistic approaches need a concise tradeoff discussion
• when the goal, constraints, or success criteria are not yet explicit
