What Is Ouroboros?

Ouroboros is a requirement crystallization engine for AI workflows. It transforms vague ideas into validated specifications through:

  1. Socratic Interview - Exposes hidden assumptions
  2. Seed Generation - Creates immutable specifications
  3. PAL Routing - Auto-escalates/descends model complexity
  4. Lateral Thinking - 5 personas to break stagnation
  5. 3-Stage Evaluation - Mechanical > Semantic > Consensus
