Feature Analyzer

Help turn ideas into fully formed designs and specs through structured information gathering and collaborative validation.

Announce at start: "I'm using the feature-analyzer skill to design this feature."

Phase 1: Context Discovery

First, explore the codebase to understand:

• Project structure and tech stack
• Existing patterns and conventions
• Related features or modules
• Recent changes in relevant areas

Phase 2: Structured Information Gathering

Use AskUserQuestion to batch collect information efficiently. Each call can ask up to 4 questions.

Round 1: Core Requirements (4 questions)
