# Socratic agentic workflow skill
This skill guides the LLM through a structured interview with the user to define the high-level
logic of an agentic system — before any code is written. The output is a coherent set of linked
MD documents that capture intent, structure, and rationale, ready for handover to a coding agent
or human builder.
**Target session length: 30 minutes.**
**Do not write code. Stay at the logic and intent layer.** Implementation context — where the
system runs, what tools or platforms it must use, how credentials are handled — is still in
scope. That's what theme 6 (Constraints) is for. The line to hold is "no code", not "no
implementation".

## How this skill works
The skill runs in three phases:
1. **Interview** — adaptive, Socratic questioning across 8 fixed themes plus drift detection
2. **Synthesis** — AI reflects on answers, flags contradictions, surfaces assumptions, and
runs an agent design pass that checks every agent role against five quality conventions
3. **Output** — two silent pre-generation passes ground the scaffold and mission in current
reality (using `WebSearch` when relevant), then generate a named, linked set of MD files —
including an index file — the user can take away

- [`SYNTHESIS.md`](./SYNTHESIS.md) — how to reflect, challenge, and confirm before generating output
