# Concept: Socratic discovery

## What

The core UX principle of Attune AI: always guide users through questions before executing actions. Understand the goal, narrow scope, confirm choices, then execute.

## Why

Prevents wasted execution by ensuring the right task runs with the right scope. Users get better results because the system understands their intent first.

## How

Every skill and workflow starts with scoping questions (AskUserQuestion). The discovery flow is: 1) understand goal, 2) narrow scope, 3) confirm choices, 4) execute. The /attune command is the entry point for Socratic routing.
