finding-unknowns

v0.2.0

Map a task's unknowns with a staged quadrant walk - known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns, unknown unknowns - ending with a four-quadrant map, then carry it through implementation notes, buy-in docs, quiz gates, and session handoffs. Synthesis of Thariq Shihipar's 'A Field Guide to Fable', dzhng's explore-unknowns, Addy Osmani's agent-skills, and davidondrej/skills.

Included Skills1

finding-unknownsskills/finding-unknowns/SKILL.md

Guide the user through a quadrant walk that maps the unknowns of a task — open by listing the known knowns, then work through known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns one stage at a time, ending with a complete four-quadrant map in the user's hands. Use when the user explicitly asks for a blindspot pass, unknown unknowns, "what am I missing / what should I be asking", a one-question-at-a-time interview, or several directions to react to; when ambiguity or unfamiliarity is high enough that building now would likely cause rework; when a reference implementation must be understood before porting; or for a named after-walk slice — implementation notes / deviations log, a buy-in doc, a quiz gate before merge, or a session handoff (run only that slice). Do not invoke for ordinary implementation of a sufficiently specified task.
