How does this skill help with vague requests?

It uses a structured 6-slot definition card and classification system to map out what is missing and identify exactly what is required to proceed with the task.

What are the four types of requests it handles?

It classifies tasks as Delivery (creating specific outputs), Diagnosis (locating root causes), Decision (choosing between options), or Research (exploring concepts and feasibility).

What is a 6-Slot Definition Card?

A concise one-page summary that defines the Goal, Audience/System, Scope, Constraints, Inputs, and Acceptance criteria for any given task.

How does it reduce communication overhead?

By generating a 'Minimal Question' set of 3-7 high-impact queries and providing default assumptions so that the project can continue even if the user is unavailable.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms ambiguous user requests into actionable, verifiable project definitions using a structured clarification workflow.

The Requirements Clarifier skill provides a systematic framework for translating vague or underspecified prompts into high-clarity project blueprints. By classifying requests into specific types—Delivery, Diagnosis, Decision, or Research—it generates a comprehensive 'Definition Card' that captures goals, scope, and acceptance criteria. This skill eliminates inefficient communication loops by producing prioritized 'Gap Lists' and minimal question sets, while providing executable default assumptions to keep projects moving forward even when critical information is missing.
