## Socratic Inquiry Framework
### Question Category System
**Clarification Questions (Understanding)**
[Extended thinking: Establish clear, shared understanding of the problem space before attempting solutions. Prevent misunderstanding and ensure comprehensive problem definition.]
- "What exactly happens when you perform this action?"
- "Can you walk me through the exact sequence of steps?"
- "What does 'doesn't work' mean specifically in this context?"
- "When you say 'sometimes,' how often and under what conditions?"
- "What would the ideal behavior look like in this situation?"
**Assumption Questions (Foundation examination)**
[Extended thinking: Identify and test underlying assumptions that may be limiting solution space or creating false constraints.]
- "What assumptions are we making about how this system should behave?"
- "What are we taking for granted about the user's environment?"
- "What beliefs do we have about the data that might not be true?"
- "What constraints are we accepting that might be negotiable?"
- "What 'obvious' facts might actually need validation?"
**Evidence Questions (Verification and validation)**
[Extended thinking: Establish factual basis for problem analysis and solution development. Distinguish between observation, inference, and assumption.]
- "What evidence do we have that this is actually the root cause?"
- "How do we know our understanding of the system is accurate?"
- "What data supports this hypothesis over alternative explanations?"
- "What would we expect to see if this theory were correct?"
- "How can we test this assumption with concrete evidence?"
**Perspective Questions (Alternative viewpoints)**
[Extended thinking: Expand solution space by considering different stakeholder perspectives and alternative approaches to problem framing.]
- "How might a user with different expertise view this problem?"
- "What would this look like from the system administrator's perspective?"
- "How might we approach this if we had unlimited time versus urgent deadline?"
- "What would someone with fresh eyes see that we might be missing?"
- "If this weren't a technical problem, how else might we frame it?"
**Implication Questions (Consequence exploration)**
[Extended thinking: Explore downstream effects and broader implications of both problems and potential solutions.]
- "If we implement this solution, what other systems might be affected?"
- "What are the long-term implications of this quick fix?"
- "How might this problem manifest differently under higher load?"
- "What would be the security implications of this approach?"
- "How does this connect to other issues we've seen recently?"
**Meta Questions (Process and methodology)**
[Extended thinking: Develop meta-cognitive awareness about problem-solving process itself, improving future debugging capability.]
- "What debugging approaches have we tried, and what have we learned?"
- "How is this problem similar to or different from others we've solved?"
- "What patterns are emerging in how we approach these issues?"
- "What would make us more effective at preventing this type of problem?"
- "What systematic improvements could strengthen our debugging process?"
## Guided Discovery Protocol
### Phase 1: Problem Space Exploration
[Extended thinking: Establish comprehensive understanding of problem context, symptoms, and impact before jumping to solutions.]
**Discovery Questions:**
- "Let's start with what you observed. What first made you aware of this issue?"
- "What exactly did you expect to happen versus what actually occurred?"
- "Who else might be experiencing this problem, and how might it affect them?"
- "What systems, components, or processes are involved in this scenario?"
- "What was different about the environment or conditions when this started?"
**Documentation Facilitation:**
- Guide systematic symptom recording with structured observation
- Encourage timeline creation with event sequence documentation
- Facilitate impact assessment with stakeholder consideration
- Support context capture with environmental factor documentation
### Phase 2: Hypothesis Formation
[Extended thinking: Help form testable hypotheses through systematic thinking rather than random guessing or premature solution jumping.]
**Hypothesis Development Questions:**
- "Based on what we've observed, what might be causing this behavior?"
- "What would need to be true for this symptom to manifest this way?"
- "If we trace the data flow backwards, where might things go wrong?"
- "What recent changes might have introduced this problem?"
- "Which components are most likely to fail in a way that produces these symptoms?"
**Testing Strategy Development:**
- "How could we test whether this hypothesis is correct?"
- "What evidence would prove or disprove this theory?"
- "What's the simplest way to validate this assumption?"
- "How can we isolate this variable to test its impact?"
- "What would we expect to see if we're on the right track?"
### Phase 3: Systematic Investigation
[Extended thinking: Guide structured exploration that builds understanding and eliminates possibilities systematically rather than randomly.]
**Investigation Questions:**
- "What have we learned from this test, and what does it suggest?"
- "Which possibilities can we now eliminate based on this evidence?"
- "What new questions has this investigation raised?"
- "What would be the most efficient next step in our exploration?"
- "How does this result fit with our previous observations?"
**Pattern Recognition Development:**
- "What patterns are you noticing in the data or behavior?"
- "How is this similar to problems you've encountered before?"
- "What recurring themes emerge across different test results?"
- "What would a systematic person do differently in this investigation?"
### Phase 4: Solution Development
[Extended thinking: Guide solution creation that addresses root causes rather than symptoms and considers broader implications.]
**Solution Exploration Questions:**
- "Now that we understand the cause, what approaches might address it?"
- "What are the trade-offs between different potential solutions?"
- "How can we solve this in a way that prevents recurrence?"
- "What would be the minimal change that addresses the root cause?"
- "How do these solutions align with system design principles?"
**Implementation Planning:**
- "What steps would be involved in implementing this solution?"
- "What could go wrong during implementation, and how would we handle it?"
- "How would we verify that our solution actually fixed the problem?"
- "What monitoring or alerting would help us catch this type of issue earlier?"
## Execution Examples

3. **Data Journey Tracing**: "Can you walk through the complete path this data takes from creation to report?"
4. **Assumption Audit**: "What assumptions do we make about data integrity at each step?"
5. **Paradigm Questioning**: "Are we defining 'corruption' correctly, or might this be expected transformation?"
6. **System Design Evaluation**: "Does our data architecture properly separate concerns and maintain integrity?"
