Intent Hierarchizer
Overview
Layer business intent into three levels (business intent, functional intent, implementation intent) for intent-driven development. Implements P11 Intent-Hierarchization Principle, ensuring intent is clearly structured and traceable.
When to Use
Business intent captured? โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โ
Need intent layering? โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโค
โโโบ Use intent-hierarchizer
Intent-driven mode active? โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโค
โ
P11 compliance check? โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Use when:
- Business intent is captured and needs layering
- Intent-driven development mode is active
- P11 compliance check is needed
- Need to structure intent for AI-native build
Don't use when:
- Intent is not yet captured
- Only single-level intent exists
- Norm-driven mode with full planning
Core Pattern
Layering Process
Business Intent
|
โโโ Business Intent (Why)
โ โโโ Business goals, value proposition, success metrics
|
โโโ Functional Intent (What)
โ โโโ Features, user stories, acceptance criteria
|
โโโ Implementation Intent (How)
โโโ Technical approach, architecture, technology choices
Intent Levels
| Level | Question | Content | Example |
|---|
| Business Intent | Why? | Business goals, value, metrics | "Reduce customer support tickets by 80%" |
| Functional Intent | What? | Features, capabilities | "Auto-classify tickets, generate responses, escalate complex issues" |
| Implementation Intent | How? | Technical approach | "Use LLM for classification, RAG for responses, rules for escalation" |
Validation Rules
- Business intent must be measurable
- Functional intent must trace to business intent
- Implementation intent must support functional intent
- All three levels must be consistent
Input Format
intent_request:
project:
name: "AI Customer Support"
description: "Automate customer support with AI"
raw_intent:
business: "Reduce support costs and improve response time"
functional: "Auto-classify and respond to customer tickets"
implementation: "Use AI for classification and response generation"
validation:
check_consistency: true
check_traceability: true
check_measurability: true
Output Format
intent_result:
project: "AI Customer Support"
layers:
business:
intent: "Reduce customer support operational costs by 50% while maintaining 95% customer satisfaction"
goals:
- "Reduce average response time from 4 hours to 5 minutes"
- "Automate 80% of routine support tickets"
- "Maintain customer satisfaction score > 95%"
metrics:
- "cost_reduction_percentage"
- "response_time_minutes"
- "automation_rate"
- "csat_score"
file: "intent/business-intent.md"
functional:
intent: "Provide intelligent ticket classification, automated response generation, and smart escalation"
features:
- "Auto-classify incoming tickets by category and urgency"
- "Generate contextual responses based on knowledge base"
- "Escalate complex or sensitive issues to human agents"
- "Learn from agent feedback to improve accuracy"
trace_to_business:
- "Auto-classify -> automation_rate"
- "Response generation -> response_time_minutes"
- "Escalation -> csat_score"
file: "intent/functional-intent.md"
implementation:
intent: "Build AI pipeline using LLM for NLP, vector database for knowledge retrieval, and workflow engine for escalation"
approach:
- "LLM integration for text understanding and generation"
- "Vector database for semantic knowledge retrieval"
- "Rule engine for escalation logic"
- "Feedback loop for continuous improvement"
trace_to_functional:
- "LLM -> auto-classify + response generation"
- "Vector DB -> contextual responses"
- "Rule engine -> escalation"
