From raw idea to reviewable scope
Paste an idea, answer targeted clarification questions, and turn it into a structured goal proposal with quality gates.
“We need rate limiting on our API. Some clients are hammering endpoints and it's causing slowdowns for everyone.”
Which API endpoints should be rate-limited: all public endpoints, or a specific subset?
What rate limit per client? (e.g., 100 req/min, 1000 req/hour)
Should limits be hard (reject) or soft (queue/throttle)?
All public endpoints, but auth endpoints get a higher limit.
100 req/min per API key, 500 req/min for auth.
Hard reject with 429 status and Retry-After header.
Implement per-client rate limiting on public API
Job to be done
Protect API stability by enforcing per-key rate limits with 429 responses and Retry-After headers.
Scope
All public endpoints (100 req/min), auth endpoints (500 req/min). Redis-backed sliding window.
Success criteria
No client exceeds limits. P99 latency unchanged. 429 responses include Retry-After.
From vague idea to precise spec.
- 1
Drop in a raw idea
Paste a Slack message, a Jira ticket link, or a rough thought. No format required.
- 2
Clarify what is missing
IAS reads the intent, identifies gaps, and returns targeted clarifying questions for operator review.
- 3
You answer, it refines
Each answer narrows the scope. The proposal updates in real time with JTBD, constraints, and success criteria.
- 4
Hit the quality gate
Readiness gates (A/B/C) ensure the proposal is unambiguous and actionable before it becomes an executable run.
“We need rate limiting on our API”
Per-client rate limiting on public API
100 req/min per key, 500 for auth. Redis sliding window. 429 + Retry-After.
Gap questions
IAS turns a raw idea into targeted clarification questions so scope gaps are visible before a run starts.
Structured Proposals
Raw ideas become goal proposals with JTBD, scope boundaries, constraints, success criteria, and an autonomy profile.
Quality Gates
Three readiness gates (A/B/C) ensure proposals meet quality standards before converting to executable runs.
