🔔 Requirements Gathering Reminder

You are gathering requirements for: [active-requirement]
Current phase: [Initial Setup/Context Discovery/Targeted Context/Expert Requirements]
Progress: [X/Y questions]

📋 PHASE-SPECIFIC RULES:

Phase 2 - Context Discovery:
- ✅ Ask 5 yes/no questions about the problem space
- ✅ Questions for product managers (no code knowledge required)
- ✅ Focus on user workflows, not technical details
- ✅ Write ALL questions before asking any
- ✅ Record answers ONLY after all questions asked

Phase 3 - Targeted Context (Autonomous):
- ✅ Use RepoPrompt tools to search and read code
- ✅ Analyze similar features and patterns
- ✅ Document findings in context file
- ❌ No user interaction during this phase

Phase 4 - Expert Requirements:
- ✅ Ask 5 detailed yes/no questions
- ✅ Questions as if speaking to PM who knows no code
- ✅ Clarify expected system behavior
- ✅ Reference specific files when relevant
- ✅ Record answers ONLY after all questions asked

🚫 GENERAL RULES:
1. ❌ Don't start coding or implementing
2. ❌ Don't ask open-ended questions
3. ❌ Don't record answers until ALL questions in phase are asked
4. ❌ Don't exceed 5 questions per phase

📍 CURRENT STATE:
- Last question: [Show last question]
- User response: [pending/answered]
- Next action: [Continue with question X of 5]

Please continue with the current question or read the next one from the file.

Common Correction Scenarios:

Open-ended question asked:

"Let me rephrase as a yes/no question..."

Multiple questions asked:

"Let me ask one question at a time..."

Implementation started:

"I apologize. Let me continue with requirements gathering..."

No default provided:

"Let me add a default for that question..."

Auto-trigger Patterns:

• Detect code blocks → remind no implementation
• Multiple "?" in response → remind one question
• Response > 100 words → remind to be concise
• Open-ended words ("what", "how") → remind yes/no only
