**Keywords:** requirements gathering, elicitation, stakeholder needs, requirement discovery, user needs, feature requests, interview, requirements session

Invoke this skill when:

- Starting a new requirements elicitation effort
- Selecting appropriate elicitation techniques
- Orchestrating multi-source elicitation
- Configuring autonomy levels for AI assistance
- Understanding LLMREI interview patterns

## Quick Decision Tree

| Scenario | Recommended Approach |
|----------|---------------------|
| Have stakeholders to interview | Use `interview-conducting` skill |
| Have documents/PDFs to mine | Use `document-extraction` skill |
| Working solo, need perspectives | Use `stakeholder-simulation` skill |
| Need domain knowledge | Use `domain-research` skill |
| Checking completeness | Use `gap-analysis` skill |
| Ready for specification | Use `/export` command |

## Elicitation Techniques

### 1. Stakeholder Interviews (LLMREI Pattern)

AI-conducted interviews using research-backed prompting strategies.

**When to use:**

- Direct access to stakeholders
- Complex domains requiring exploration
- Need to capture tacit knowledge

**Technique reference:** See `references/llmrei-patterns.md`

### 2. Document Extraction

Mine requirements from existing documentation.

**When to use:**

- Existing requirements documents
- Meeting transcripts
- Regulatory documents
- Competitor analysis

**Delegate to:** `document-extraction` skill

### 3. Stakeholder Simulation

Multi-persona simulation for solo requirements work.

**When to use:**

- Working without direct stakeholder access
- Need diverse perspectives
- Validating completeness

**Delegate to:** `stakeholder-simulation` skill

### 4. Domain Research

MCP-powered research for domain knowledge.

**When to use:**

- Unfamiliar domain
- Need industry standards
- Competiti
