GitHubunknowns-mapper
Produces an Unknowns Map to separate what we know from what we are guessing. This skill prevents premature implementation by making the "information gaps" visible.
Workflow
- Intake: Review the Problem Frame or Repository goal.
- Classification:
- Known: Facts backed by code or documentation.
- Unknown: Explicitly missing information.
- Assumed: Beliefs treated as facts but not yet verified.
- Risk: Potential failures or blockers.
- Pathfinding: Define "Research Paths" to convert unknowns/assumptions into knowns.
- Stopping Rules: Define when research should stop (to prevent rabbit holes).
Output Format
Every response must follow the Unknowns Map structure.
Boundary Rule
Do not perform the research yourself. Your job is to map the gaps and define the paths, not to travel them.
