finding-unknowns
Surface and resolve the ambiguities in a task before, during, and after implementation — the blind-spot pass, the self-interview, reference-driven specs, implementation notes, and a post-hoc explainer or quiz. Use at the start of any non-trivial build, when working in an unfamiliar codebase or a new domain, when acceptance criteria are subjective ("make it feel polished", "clean this up"), when a plan keeps needing rework mid-implementation, or when the user says "help me find my unknowns", "what am I missing", "poke holes in this", "what haven't I thought about". Also use after a change lands, to produce the explainer or comprehension check that proves the work is understood.
