Requirement Elicitation

Overview

Use this skill to collect requirement evidence with traceability, confidence, and contradiction visibility.

Scope Boundaries

• Use this skill when the task matches the trigger condition described in description.
• Do not use this skill when the primary task falls outside this skill’s domain.

Shared References

• Evidence strength rules:
  • references/evidence-strength-rules.md

Templates And Assets

• Evidence intake template:
  • assets/evidence-intake-template.csv
• Clarification question log:
  • assets/clarification-question-log-template.md

Inputs To Gather

• Stakeholder map and decision owners.
• Existing docs/tickets/incidents/analytics.
• Known unknowns and contested assumptions.

Deliverables

• Structured evidence set with confidence scores.
• Clarification question backlog with owners.
• Requirement candidate seeds for baseline synthesis.

Workflow

1. Capture evidence in assets/evidence-intake-template.csv.
2. Apply confidence/contradiction rules from references/evidence-strength-rules.md.
3. Separate evidence, assumptions, and unknowns.
4. Track unresolved questions in assets/clarification-question-log-template.md.
5. Publish elicitation package for requirements-definition.

Quality Standard

• Evidence has source traceability and confidence labels.
• Contradictions are explicit and unresolved items are owned.
• Inputs are sufficient for canonical baseline synthesis.

Failure Conditions

• Stop when evidence depends on weak single-source claims.
• Stop when critical unknowns have no owner/due date.
• Escalate when legal/privacy constraints are unclear.
