Using a Blazor/.NET app as a case study, this post walks through how to use an LLM (GPT 5.5 via Codex) to interrogate a vague idea through structured back-and-forth questioning. The key insight is crafting a prompt that keeps the AI focused on problem exploration rather than jumping to technical implementation details. After a 45-minute session, the author arrived at a clearly scoped brief and a set of architecture decision records (ADRs). The post emphasizes that prompts rarely arrive fully formed and require iteration, and that this problem-definition step is foundational before any feature scoping or code generation begins. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
