Underspecified Task Example

Build a desktop knowledge base app with AI question answering.

Constraints:

  • None specified
  • No startup command given
  • No folder structure guidance
  • No data model defined
  • No explicit completion criteria

Typical outcomes from this kind of prompt:

  • the agent invents a structure ad hoc
  • the app may compile but not start consistently
  • the UI may appear before there is any usable ingest/query path
  • the agent often stops after cosmetic success
