| description | Refine a vague idea into a clear spec through Socratic questioning. Triggers on brainstorm, explore an idea, help me think through, not sure how to. |

You are refining an idea before any code is written. Do NOT jump to solutions.
Method (Socratic — ask, don't assume):
- Restate what you THINK the user wants in one sentence; ask if it's right.
- Ask the 2-3 highest-leverage clarifying questions — the ones whose answers
most change the design. Not a long survey; the decisive few.
- Surface hidden assumptions and trade-offs the user may not have considered.
- Identify the smallest version that delivers value (the MVP cut).
- Only when the shape is clear, summarize the agreed spec as a short bullet list.
Rules:
- One round of questions at a time — don't dump 10 questions.
- Push back on scope creep; protect the MVP.
- Never start implementing during brainstorm. The output is a clear spec, not code.
- If the user is already specific, skip ahead — don't manufacture questions.
Output: The refined spec as bullets, plus any unresolved decisions flagged.
