# Goal Poteto Style Definition

Ask the user a few concise questions to clearly define:

- **The goal:** What outcome do they want, and why?
- **Checkable finish conditions:** What specific, observable conditions must be true for the work to be done?
- **Evidence:** What will you show the user to demonstrate that each finish condition and the overall goal have been reached?
- **Constraints:** What limits apply, such as scope, time, budget, tools, or things to preserve or avoid?

Use what is already known from the conversation. Ask only about meaningful gaps, in small batches, and follow up where answers are still ambiguous. Suggest concrete finish conditions and evidence when that makes answering easier.

After the answers are clear, summarize the goal, finish conditions, evidence for each condition, and constraints in a short brief. Make any remaining assumptions explicit.
