What is the primary purpose of the Clarify skill?

It is Phase 2 of a development workflow designed to identify and resolve all technical ambiguities before any architectural design or coding begins.

What specific areas does the skill analyze?

It checks for edge cases, error handling strategies, integration points, backward compatibility, performance constraints, and security requirements.

How does it handle the information I provide?

All decisions and answers are documented in a .dev-workflow-state.json file, ensuring persistent context for the subsequent design and implementation phases.

Can I use this skill independently of other 'dev' skills?

While it can be used alone, it is optimized to follow the /dev:explore phase and precede the /dev:design phase for a complete development lifecycle.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Identifies project ambiguities and gathers critical requirements to prevent architectural errors during the development lifecycle.

The Dev Workflow Clarifier serves as a crucial bridge between initial exploration and technical design. It systematically analyzes feature requests for potential edge cases, security concerns, performance bottlenecks, and integration issues. By facilitating a structured questioning phase, it ensures that Claude achieves a complete understanding of the task before proposing any code or architecture, thereby reducing technical debt, preventing rework, and ensuring that all constraints are addressed upfront.
