Does it perform any discovery on its own?

The skill allows for low-risk discovery steps, such as reading configuration files or inspecting repo structure, to answer its own questions before prompting the user.

How does this skill prevent 'wrong work'?

It identifies ambiguity in the initial prompt and requires the AI to pause and ask for missing details like scope, constraints, or environment before any code is written.

Will it ask too many questions?

No, the skill is optimized for speed. It limits questions to 1-5 per pass and uses multiple-choice formats to make responding quick and easy.

Can I bypass the clarification step?

Yes, the skill includes a 'fast-path' option where you can simply reply 'defaults' to accept the AI's recommended approach.

Productivity & Workflow

Ensures accurate implementation by identifying and clarifying underspecified project requirements before starting development work.

The Requirement Clarifier skill acts as a critical governance layer for Claude, preventing wasted effort and incorrect implementations caused by ambiguous requests. It prompts Claude to systematically evaluate tasks for missing details regarding scope, constraints, and environment. Instead of making risky assumptions, the skill guides Claude to present the user with concise, multiple-choice questions and sensible defaults, ensuring a high-friction 'pause' occurs only when necessary to align on the final objective and acceptance criteria.
