This skill should be used when running an interactive interview before a spec phase, gathering requirements through dialogue, asking the user clarifying questions before delegating to a subagent, or when any Ralph phase command (research, requirements, design, tasks) needs adaptive brainstorming dialogue. Covers the 3-phase algorithm (Understand, Propose Approaches, Confirm and Store).

From the source SKILL.md

Adaptive brainstorming dialogue algorithm for all spec phases. Each phase command provides its own exploration territory (phase-specific areas to probe).
