name	act-problem-framing
description	Turns an ambiguous request into a decision-ready problem statement with scope, stakeholders, constraints, assumptions, and success signals.

Restate the problem as an outcome to improve, not a preferred solution.
Identify affected users and stakeholders, the current state, the desired state, and the cost of leaving the problem unresolved.
Establish in-scope and out-of-scope boundaries, constraints, dependencies, decisions already made, and decisions still open.
List assumptions, missing facts, ambiguous terms, and questions whose answers could materially change the approach. Ask only for information needed to reduce a consequential uncertainty.
Define observable success signals, failure signals, and a proportionate review point. Offer candidate approaches only after the frame is clear, and label them as options rather than settled requirements.
