SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Initial AI-generated content often lacks depth, misses risks, or overlooks alternative perspectives. This Skill pushes the LLM to reconsider and improve its recent output through structured critique methods like socratic questioning, first principles, pre-mortem analysis, and red teaming. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Method Registry: Loads elicitation methods from a CSV registry and intelligently selects 5 context-appropriate techniques based on content type, complexity, and risk level. - Interactive Refinement Loop: Presents numbered method options with reshuffle, list-all, and proceed commands, applying each selected method iteratively to the current content. - Multi-Persona Support: Integrates with persona skills (analyst, PM, UX designer, architect, developer) for party-mode critiques from multiple role viewpoints. - Use Case: After drafting a project requirements section, invoke this Skill to run a pre-mortem analysis that surfaces hidden failure risks, then apply a red team pass to stress-test assumptions before finalizing the document. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to apply advanced elicitation methods such as socratic questioning or a pre-mortem to critique and improve the section it just generated.

Frequently Asked Questions about advanced-elicitation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get an AI to critique and improve its own output?▼

Invoke the advanced-elicitation skill after content is generated. It presents 5 context-selected critique methods such as socratic questioning or pre-mortem analysis, applies your chosen method to the content, and iterates until you confirm the enhanced version.

What elicitation methods are available for refining AI-generated content?▼

The skill loads methods from a methods.csv registry grouped by category, including core, structural, and risk techniques like first principles, pre-mortem, and red teaming. You can list all methods with the 'a' command or reshuffle for 5 new options with 'r'.

Can multiple personas critique a document section together?▼

Yes, party mode resolves agent personas from sibling skill directories containing an [agent] block in customize.toml, such as analyst, PM, UX designer, architect, and developer roles. These personas join multi-persona elicitation methods with project-level overrides applied.

When should I use structured elicitation instead of just asking for revisions?▼

Use structured elicitation when content carries high risk, complexity, or stakeholder impact and informal revision requests miss blind spots. Named methods like pre-mortem and red teaming enforce systematic perspectives that ad-hoc feedback typically skips.

Does the elicitation skill modify my document automatically?▼

No, it always asks for confirmation before applying changes. After each method runs, you choose whether to accept the proposed enhancements, discard them, or give other instructions, and the loop continues until you select 'x' to proceed.
