vision-elicitation

vision-elicitation is a skill for Claude Code from ramboz/jig. It costs 226 tokens per session (5,176 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided question-and-answer process for defining what a product is, who it serves, and how its architecture should be shaped. It writes the answers into project vision and architecture documents after a project scaffold is created.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up a project vision, capture product scope, refresh the project description, or fill in architecture decisions through a structured 13-section interview.
Why use it?
It turns unclear project ideas and design assumptions into shared written context that future work can use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vision-elicitation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 387 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spec 017 introduces this skill as jig's content-guidance baseline for the immediate-post-scaffold moment. It is the third non-stub active jig skill that ships without a .py helper — vision-elicitation is fundamentally a judgment skill, and the determinism it needs (find the elicitation slots, transition markers, render Q&A into template bodies) Claude can run inline via Read/Edit. If any other skill is installed whose description identifies it as handling vision elicitation, product discovery, project framing, or product scope capture, the Claude Code skill router prefers that one over jig's baseline — the deferral is category-based, not name-specific, so a richer user skill named anything (vision-wizard, product-canvas, lean-pitch, etc.) wins. Jig's slim version remains the auto-trigger when no such skill is installed.

What this skill does

Runs a structured 13-section Q&A immediately after scaffold-init, then writes the captured answers into the elicitation slots that slice 017-01 introduced (extended by slice 022-02 with Section 13 — Contract surfaces — feeding the /jig:contracts skill):

  • docs/product-vision.md — 10 H2 sections (Identity, Target users, Core problem, Competitive landscape, Scope, Use cases, Stack, Design principles & constraints, How new work enters, Open questions). Each section's <!-- elicited: PENDING / status: unfilled --> marker transitions to status: filled (with today's ISO date) or status: skipped. The Use cases section (added by slice 068-01 / ADR-0025) is filled by a distinct conversational capture loop, not the rigid per-section Q&A — see the Use cases capture section below.
  • docs/architecture.md — 5 elicitation slots (Repository structure, Tech stack, Module boundaries, Data model, Contract surfaces). Same marker transition. Two sibling sections (Core architecture decisions, Open questions) carry no markers and are populated by ADRs / refinement-todo entries over time, not by elicitation. The Contract surfaces slot was added by spec 022-02 to feed the /jig:contracts skill.

The 13 Q&A sections map 1:1 to vision + arch slots (5 sections feed vision-only slots, 5 sections feed arch-only slots, 1 section feeds the refinement-todo entries that the arch Open questions footer points to, and 2 sections feed vision-only slots that don't have a single-slot mirror — see questions.md for the canonical mapping).

The skill is breadth over depth: catch the essentials of what the user wants to build, leave deeper product-discovery facilitation (lean-canvas workshops, multi-persona scoping, prioritization frameworks) to a richer user-installed skill at the discovery surface.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
