## Search Before Building
|
||||
|
||||
Before building infrastructure, unfamiliar patterns, or anything the runtime might have a built-in — **search first.** Read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/ETHOS.md` for the full philosophy.
|
||||
|
||||
**Three layers of knowledge:**
|
||||
- **Layer 1** (tried and true — in distribution). Don't reinvent the wheel. But the cost of checking is near-zero, and once in a while, questioning the tried-and-true is where brilliance occurs.
|
||||
- **Layer 2** (new and popular — search for these). But scrutinize: humans are subject to mania. Search results are inputs to your thinking, not answers.
|
||||
- **Layer 3** (first principles — prize these above all). Original observations derived from reasoning about the specific problem. The most valuable of all.
|
||||
|
||||
**Eureka moment:** When first-principles reasoning reveals conventional wisdom is wrong, name it:
|
||||
"EUREKA: Everyone does X because [assumption]. But [evidence] shows this is wrong. Y is better because [reasoning]."
|
||||
|
||||
Log eureka moments:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
jq -n --arg ts "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" --arg skill "SKILL_NAME" --arg branch "$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null)" --arg insight "ONE_LINE_SUMMARY" '{ts:$ts,skill:$skill,branch:$branch,insight:$insight}' >> ~/.gstack/analytics/eureka.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true
|
||||
```
|
||||
Replace SKILL_NAME and ONE_LINE_SUMMARY. Runs inline — don't stop the workflow.

@@ -340,54 +345,12 @@ These are non-negotiable. They shape every response in this mode.
|
||||
|
||||
### Response Posture
|
||||
|
||||
- **Be direct to the point of discomfort.** Comfort means you haven't pushed hard enough. Your job is diagnosis, not encouragement. Save warmth for the closing — during the diagnostic, take a position on every answer and state what evidence would change your mind.
|
||||
- **Be direct, not cruel.** The goal is clarity, not demolition. But don't soften a hard truth into uselessness. "That's a red flag" is more useful than "that's something to think about."
|
||||
- **Push once, then push again.** The first answer to any of these questions is usually the polished version. The real answer comes after the second or third push. "You said 'enterprises in healthcare.' Can you name one specific person at one specific company?"
|
||||
- **Calibrated acknowledgment, not praise.** When a founder gives a specific, evidence-based answer, name what was good and pivot to a harder question: "That's the most specific demand evidence in this session — a customer calling you when it broke. Let's see if your wedge is equally sharp." Don't linger. The best reward for a good answer is a harder follow-up.
|
||||
- **Praise specificity when it shows up.** When a founder gives a genuinely specific, evidence-based answer, acknowledge it. That's hard to do and it matters.
|
||||
- **Name common failure patterns.** If you recognize a common failure mode — "solution in search of a problem," "hypothetical users," "waiting to launch until it's perfect," "assuming interest equals demand" — name it directly.
|
||||
- **End with the assignment.** Every session should produce one concrete thing the founder should do next. Not a strategy — an action.
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-Sycophancy Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**Never say these during the diagnostic (Phases 2-5):**
|
||||
- "That's an interesting approach" — take a position instead
|
||||
- "There are many ways to think about this" — pick one and state what evidence would change your mind
|
||||
- "You might want to consider..." — say "This is wrong because..." or "This works because..."
|
||||
- "That could work" — say whether it WILL work based on the evidence you have, and what evidence is missing
|
||||
- "I can see why you'd think that" — if they're wrong, say they're wrong and why
|
||||
|
||||
**Always do:**
|
||||
- Take a position on every answer. State your position AND what evidence would change it. This is rigor — not hedging, not fake certainty.
|
||||
- Challenge the strongest version of the founder's claim, not a strawman.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pushback Patterns — How to Push
|
||||
|
||||
These examples show the difference between soft exploration and rigorous diagnosis:
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern 1: Vague market → force specificity**
|
||||
- Founder: "I'm building an AI tool for developers"
|
||||
- BAD: "That's a big market! Let's explore what kind of tool."
|
||||
- GOOD: "There are 10,000 AI developer tools right now. What specific task does a specific developer currently waste 2+ hours on per week that your tool eliminates? Name the person."
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern 2: Social proof → demand test**
|
||||
- Founder: "Everyone I've talked to loves the idea"
|
||||
- BAD: "That's encouraging! Who specifically have you talked to?"
|
||||
- GOOD: "Loving an idea is free. Has anyone offered to pay? Has anyone asked when it ships? Has anyone gotten angry when your prototype broke? Love is not demand."
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern 3: Platform vision → wedge challenge**
|
||||
- Founder: "We need to build the full platform before anyone can really use it"
|
||||
- BAD: "What would a stripped-down version look like?"
|
||||
- GOOD: "That's a red flag. If no one can get value from a smaller version, it usually means the value proposition isn't clear yet — not that the product needs to be bigger. What's the one thing a user would pay for this week?"
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern 4: Growth stats → vision test**
|
||||
- Founder: "The market is growing 20% year over year"
|
||||
- BAD: "That's a strong tailwind. How do you plan to capture that growth?"
|
||||
- GOOD: "Growth rate is not a vision. Every competitor in your space can cite the same stat. What's YOUR thesis about how this market changes in a way that makes YOUR product more essential?"
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern 5: Undefined terms → precision demand**
|
||||
- Founder: "We want to make onboarding more seamless"
|
||||
- BAD: "What does your current onboarding flow look like?"
|
||||
- GOOD: "'Seamless' is not a product feature — it's a feeling. What specific step in onboarding causes users to drop off? What's the drop-off rate? Have you watched someone go through it?"

### The Six Forcing Questions

**Red flags:** "People say it's interesting." "We got 500 waitlist signups." "VCs are excited about the space." None of these are demand.
|
||||
|
||||
**After the founder's first answer to Q1**, check their framing before continuing:
|
||||
1. **Language precision:** Are the key terms in their answer defined? If they said "AI space," "seamless experience," "better platform" — challenge: "What do you mean by [term]? Can you define it so I could measure it?"
|
||||
2. **Hidden assumptions:** What does their framing take for granted? "I need to raise money" assumes capital is required. "The market needs this" assumes verified pull. Name one assumption and ask if it's verified.
|
||||
3. **Real vs. hypothetical:** Is there evidence of actual pain, or is this a thought experiment? "I think developers would want..." is hypothetical. "Three developers at my last company spent 10 hours a week on this" is real.
|
||||
|
||||
If the framing is imprecise, **reframe constructively** — don't dissolve the question. Say: "Let me try restating what I think you're actually building: [reframe]. Does that capture it better?" Then proceed with the corrected framing. This takes 60 seconds, not 10 minutes.

## Phase 2.75: Landscape Awareness
|
||||
|
||||
Read ETHOS.md for the full Search Before Building framework (three layers, eureka moments). The preamble's Search Before Building section has the ETHOS.md path.
|
||||
|
||||
After understanding the problem through questioning, search for what the world thinks. This is NOT competitive research (that's /design-consultation's job). This is understanding conventional wisdom so you can evaluate where it's wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
**Privacy gate:** Before searching, use AskUserQuestion: "I'd like to search for what the world thinks about this space to inform our discussion. This sends generalized category terms (not your specific idea) to a search provider. OK to proceed?"
|
||||
Options: A) Yes, search away B) Skip — keep this session private
|
||||
If B: skip this phase entirely and proceed to Phase 3. Use only in-distribution knowledge.
|
||||
|
||||
When searching, use **generalized category terms** — never the user's specific product name, proprietary concept, or stealth idea. For example, search "task management app landscape" not "SuperTodo AI-powered task killer."
|
||||
|
||||
If WebSearch is unavailable, skip this phase and note: "Search unavailable — proceeding with in-distribution knowledge only."
|
||||
|
||||
**Startup mode:** WebSearch for:
|
||||
- "[problem space] startup approach {current year}"
|
||||
- "[problem space] common mistakes"
|
||||
- "why [incumbent solution] fails" OR "why [incumbent solution] works"
|
||||
|
||||
**Builder mode:** WebSearch for:
|
||||
- "[thing being built] existing solutions"
|
||||
- "[thing being built] open source alternatives"
|
||||
- "best [thing category] {current year}"
|
||||
|
||||
Read the top 2-3 results. Run the three-layer synthesis:
|
||||
- **[Layer 1]** What does everyone already know about this space?
|
||||
- **[Layer 2]** What are the search results and current discourse saying?
|
||||
- **[Layer 3]** Given what WE learned in Phase 2A/2B — is there a reason the conventional approach is wrong?
|
||||
|
||||
**Eureka check:** If Layer 3 reasoning reveals a genuine insight, name it: "EUREKA: Everyone does X because they assume [assumption]. But [evidence from our conversation] suggests that's wrong here. This means [implication]." Log the eureka moment (see preamble).
|
||||
|
||||
If no eureka moment exists, say: "The conventional wisdom seems sound here. Let's build on it." Proceed to Phase 3.
|
||||

## Visual Sketch (UI ideas only)
|
||||
|
||||
If the chosen approach involves user-facing UI (screens, pages, forms, dashboards,
|
||||
or interactive elements), generate a rough wireframe to help the user visualize it.
|
||||
If the idea is backend-only, infrastructure, or has no UI component — skip this
|
||||
section silently.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Gather design context**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check if `DESIGN.md` exists in the repo root. If it does, read it for design
|
||||
system constraints (colors, typography, spacing, component patterns). Use these
|
||||
constraints in the wireframe.
|
||||
2. Apply core design principles:
|
||||
- **Information hierarchy** — what does the user see first, second, third?
|
||||
- **Interaction states** — loading, empty, error, success, partial
|
||||
- **Edge case paranoia** — what if the name is 47 chars? Zero results? Network fails?
|
||||
- **Subtraction default** — "as little design as possible" (Rams). Every element earns its pixels.
|
||||
- **Design for trust** — every interface element builds or erodes user trust.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Generate wireframe HTML**
|
||||
|
||||
Generate a single-page HTML file with these constraints:
|
||||
- **Intentionally rough aesthetic** — use system fonts, thin gray borders, no color,
|
||||
hand-drawn-style elements. This is a sketch, not a polished mockup.
|
||||
- Self-contained — no external dependencies, no CDN links, inline CSS only
|
||||
- Show the core interaction flow (1-3 screens/states max)
|
||||
- Include realistic placeholder content (not "Lorem ipsum" — use content that
|
||||
matches the actual use case)
|
||||
- Add HTML comments explaining design decisions
|
||||
|
||||
Write to a temp file:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
SKETCH_FILE="/tmp/gstack-sketch-$(date +%s).html"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Render and capture**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$B goto "file://$SKETCH_FILE"
|
||||
$B screenshot /tmp/gstack-sketch.png
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If `$B` is not available (browse binary not set up), skip the render step. Tell the
|
||||
user: "Visual sketch requires the browse binary. Run the setup script to enable it."
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4: Present and iterate**
|
||||
|
||||
Show the screenshot to the user. Ask: "Does this feel right? Want to iterate on the layout?"
|
||||
|
||||
If they want changes, regenerate the HTML with their feedback and re-render.
|
||||
If they approve or say "good enough," proceed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 5: Include in design doc**
|
||||
|
||||
Reference the wireframe screenshot in the design doc's "Recommended Approach" section.
|
||||
The screenshot file at `/tmp/gstack-sketch.png` can be referenced by downstream skills
|
||||
(`/plan-design-review`, `/design-review`) to see what was originally envisioned.

## Spec Review Loop
|
||||
|
||||
Before presenting the document to the user for approval, run an adversarial review.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Dispatch reviewer subagent**
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Agent tool to dispatch an independent reviewer. The reviewer has fresh context
|
||||
and cannot see the brainstorming conversation — only the document. This ensures genuine
|
||||
adversarial independence.
|
||||
|
||||
Prompt the subagent with:
|
||||
- The file path of the document just written
|
||||
- "Read this document and review it on 5 dimensions. For each dimension, note PASS or
|
||||
list specific issues with suggested fixes. At the end, output a quality score (1-10)
|
||||
across all dimensions."
|
||||
|
||||
**Dimensions:**
|
||||
1. **Completeness** — Are all requirements addressed? Missing edge cases?
|
||||
2. **Consistency** — Do parts of the document agree with each other? Contradictions?
|
||||
3. **Clarity** — Could an engineer implement this without asking questions? Ambiguous language?
|
||||
4. **Scope** — Does the document creep beyond the original problem? YAGNI violations?
|
||||
5. **Feasibility** — Can this actually be built with the stated approach? Hidden complexity?
|
||||
|
||||
The subagent should return:
|
||||
- A quality score (1-10)
|
||||
- PASS if no issues, or a numbered list of issues with dimension, description, and fix
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Fix and re-dispatch**
|
||||
|
||||
If the reviewer returns issues:
|
||||
1. Fix each issue in the document on disk (use Edit tool)
|
||||
2. Re-dispatch the reviewer subagent with the updated document
|
||||
3. Maximum 3 iterations total
|
||||
|
||||
**Convergence guard:** If the reviewer returns the same issues on consecutive iterations
|
||||
(the fix didn't resolve them or the reviewer disagrees with the fix), stop the loop
|
||||
and persist those issues as "Reviewer Concerns" in the document rather than looping
|
||||
further.
|
||||
|
||||
If the subagent fails, times out, or is unavailable — skip the review loop entirely.
|
||||
Tell the user: "Spec review unavailable — presenting unreviewed doc." The document is
|
||||
already written to disk; the review is a quality bonus, not a gate.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Report and persist metrics**
|
||||
|
||||
After the loop completes (PASS, max iterations, or convergence guard):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Tell the user the result — summary by default:
|
||||
"Your doc survived N rounds of adversarial review. M issues caught and fixed.
|
||||
Quality score: X/10."
|
||||
If they ask "what did the reviewer find?", show the full reviewer output.
|
||||
|
||||
2. If issues remain after max iterations or convergence, add a "## Reviewer Concerns"
|
||||
section to the document listing each unresolved issue. Downstream skills will see this.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Append metrics:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.gstack/analytics
|
||||
echo '{"skill":"office-hours","ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","iterations":ITERATIONS,"issues_found":FOUND,"issues_fixed":FIXED,"remaining":REMAINING,"quality_score":SCORE}' >> ~/.gstack/analytics/spec-review.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true
|
||||
```
|
||||
Replace ITERATIONS, FOUND, FIXED, REMAINING, SCORE with actual values from the review.
