Use this skill when surfacing Claude's assumptions about a phase approach before planning, checking what Claude thinks, or validating understanding before planning. Triggers include "list assumptions", "what are you thinking", "show assumptions", "phase assumptions", and "what's the plan".

.claude/skills/list-phase-assumptions/<objective> Analyze a phase and present Claude's assumptions about technical approach, implementation order, scope boundaries, risk areas, and dependencies. Purpose: Help users see what Claude thinks BEFORE planning begins - enabling course correction early when assumptions are wrong. Output: Conversational output only (no file creation) - ends with "What do you think?" prompt </objective> <execution_context> @./references/phase-assumptions.md </execution_context> <context> Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required) **Load project state first:** @.planning/STATE.md **Load roadmap:** @.planning/ROADMAP.md </context> <process> 1. Validate phase number argument (error if missing or invalid) 2. Check if phase exists in roadmap 3. Follow phase-assumptions.md workflow: - Analyze roadmap description - Surface assumptions about: technical approach, implementation order, scope, risks, dependencies - Present assumptions clearly - Prompt "What do you think?" 4. Gather feedback and offer next steps </process> <success_criteria> - Phase validated against roadmap - Assumptions surfaced across five areas - User prompted for feedback - User knows next steps (discuss context, plan phase, or correct assumptions) </success_criteria>
