What Elicit does

Elicit reverse-traces decision coordinates from an ambiguous intent using the user’s codebase, rules, session history, and environment. Use it when a request is underspecified and you need to surface questions, parked coordinates, and a resolved endpoint.

Elicit is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Elicit comes from a repository tagged ai-collaboration, claude-code, epistemology, metacognition and plugin.

README

Excerpt

Euporia Protocol

Resolve abstract aporia through Extended-Mind reverse induction. Type: (AbstractAporia, Hybrid, REVERSE-INDUCE-CYCLE, IntentSeed × ExternalizedSubstrate) → ResolvedEndpoint.

Definition

Euporia (εὐπορία): A dialogical act of opening a way through abstract aporia, where AI reverse-traces decision coordinates from the user's externalized cognitive substrate (codebase, rules, past sessions, user environment), surfaces them as cycle-emergent dimension projections, and shapes the converging intent through user answers until the endpoint resolves.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
