From the source SKILL.md

Surveys fail at design time, invisibly: the leading question ("How much do you love our new feature?"), the double-barrel ("Is the product fast and reliable?" — which one?), the scale with no honest exit (forced positivity), and the twenty-minute questionnaire that only the delighted and the furious complete.

Design discipline is cheap and front-loaded: neutral wording, one question per question, scales with real options, brutal length editing, a pilot, and the analysis plan written…
