OST Intake

Collect high-quality, normalized inputs for OST work.

Instructions

Step 1: Parse existing context first

• Use provided context before asking questions.

Step 2: Collect four required fields

• journey_nodes_as_list (JSON array of moments)
• interview_transcripts_or_story_snippets
• constraints_or_principles (or None stated)

Step 3: Normalize quality

• Reframe solution-flavored outcomes into measurable outcomes.
• Reframe feature-like nodes into moments in time.
• Add minimal attribution to transcript snippets when possible.

Step 4: Ask only missing critical questions

• Ask concise questions only for missing required inputs.
• Stop when all four fields are complete and clear.

Output

• Final normalized values for all four required fields.
