description	Interactive pre-spec ideation utility skill. Agent-led Q&A to progressively clarify vague ideas, research codebase context, and produce structured WorkShaping.md artifact.

Work Shaping

Execution Context: This skill runs directly in the PAW session (not a subagent)—interactive Q&A by design.

Interactive ideation session to transform vague ideas into structured, spec-ready work items.

When to Use

• User explicitly asks to explore, shape, or flesh out an idea
• Request has exploratory language ("what if", "maybe we could", "I'm thinking about")
• User expresses uncertainty ("I'm not sure if...", "not sure how to approach")
• Idea is too vague for direct specification

Session Flow

1. Opening

Acknowledge the idea and set expectations:

• This is an exploratory conversation to clarify the work
• You'll ask questions to understand intent, constraints, and scope
• User can end anytime; you'll signal when "complete enough"

2. Progressive Clarification

Agent-led Q&A to build understanding:

Question strategy:

• One question at a time
• Start broad (intent, value proposition), then narrow (boundaries, constraints)
• Offer recommendations when you have informed opinions
• Prefer multiple choice when options are enumerable

Topics to explore (adapt based on idea):

• Core value: What problem does this solve? Who benefits?
• Scope boundaries: What's definitely in? What's explicitly out?
• User interactions: How will users engage with this?
• Edge cases: What happens when X fails/is empty/conflicts?
• Success definition: How will we know it works?
