Does this skill ask questions for every single prompt?

No, it only triggers when a request is identified as underspecified or when you explicitly invoke it to clarify requirements.

Can I quickly bypass the clarification process?

Yes, the skill is designed with a 'fast-path' where you can simply reply 'defaults' to accept all recommended choices at once.

What kind of questions does the skill ask?

It focuses on must-have information like project scope, environment constraints, safety/reversibility, and the specific definition of 'done'.

Will Claude run any commands while waiting for my answers?

Claude will only perform low-risk discovery steps, such as reading configuration files, to help frame its questions better without changing your project.

Productivity & Workflow

Minimizes development errors by identifying and resolving underspecified project requirements before implementation begins.

The Requirement Clarifier skill transforms Claude into a proactive collaborator by preventing 'wrong work' caused by ambiguous instructions. It identifies gaps in scope, constraints, and environment details, then presents a concise list of scannable, multiple-choice questions for the user. By pausing execution until key questions are answered or defaults are accepted, it ensures that every task has a clear definition of success, reducing rework and ensuring code aligns perfectly with the intended outcome.
