Question yourself till you're left with only answers. Socratic is a self-interrogation skill for agentic AI, packaged as a portable Claude and Codex skill or prompt. It helps an LLM slow down, inspect the task, ask itself the right engineering questions, and only ask the user for the few decisions that actually require human authority. Two halves work together: - 697 questions across 15 engineering domains — what a task must resolve - 60 decision cards in 10 source-backed packs — how experienced engineers resolve it, distilled from Kleppmann, Nygard, Evans, Ousterhout, Feathers, Khorikov, and others Neither is loaded whole. The agent selects the slice the task actually signals, so a typical run costs about 3,000 tokens . Not a form. Not a checklist. A lightweight reasoning loop. The stopping rule: question until the answer is solid Socratic is not a 697-question checklist and it is not an endless reasoning loop. It asks the smallest set of relevant questions needed to reach a solid, evidence-backed answer. The agent stops expanding its review when the outcome and scope are clear, consequential assumptions are visible, material risks have a mitigation or verification path, no contradiction changes the plan, and the riskiest assumption can be tested proportionately. If the next question would not change the design, risk, cost, authority decision, or verification plan, it is no longer material.
