| description | Organize early hearing notes, customer interview notes, rough memos, and chaotic domain discussions into ConceptSpec intake buckets without finalizing concepts or creating implementation tasks. |
Concept Intake Organize
Use this skill when early domain material needs to become reviewable before formal ConceptSpec, DFD, Process Map, feature-local spec, or scope work.
This is an upstream organization skill, not an implementation planning skill.
It preserves discovery material without making AI the authority for concept meaning.
Purpose
- Separate raw observations from candidate concepts.
- Preserve terms, relationships, process fragments, scope candidates, and unknowns while the domain is still under discovery.
- Identify the next useful upstream artifact without forcing premature decisions.
Required Behavior
- Treat early hearing notes as intentionally chaotic.
- Collect related information even when scope is not fixed yet.
- Do not discard information only because it may later be out of scope.
- Do not force all unknowns to be resolved.
- Preserve non-blocking unknowns.
- Identify blocking questions only when the next artifact cannot be created without them.
- Keep raw observations separate from concept candidates.
- Keep concept candidates separate from process fragments.
- Keep likely scope separate from scope candidates and out-of-scope candidates.
- Omit empty output sections.
Do Not
- Do not finalize concepts.
- Do not promote a draft to authoritative ConceptSpec status.
- Do not create implementation tasks.
- Do not reject uncertain information too early.
- Do not treat generated docs or review views as source of truth.
