How does the 'vague' skill differ from normal chatting?

Unlike standard conversation, this skill uses a structured protocol that forces specific decisions through multiple-choice hypotheses, ensuring no ambiguity remains in the scope or success criteria.

Can I limit the number of questions asked?

Yes, you can use the --max-iterations flag to control how many rounds of clarification the skill performs before finalizing the specification.

What happens when the clarification loop finishes?

The skill generates a 'Requirement Clarification Summary' that maps out the final goal, constraints, and all decisions made, followed by a completion promise to signal it's ready for implementation.

When should I use this skill versus the 'unknown' skill?

Use 'vague' for clarifying underspecified requirements. Use 'unknown' specifically for identifying strategy blind spots or missing information in project planning.

协作工具

Transforms ambiguous requests into precise, actionable technical specifications through structured, hypothesis-driven questioning.

The Vague skill is a specialized tool for Claude Code designed to eliminate ambiguity at the start of the development process. When faced with underspecified requests like 'add a login feature' or 'fix the performance,' this skill initiates an iterative refinement loop that presents specific hypotheses as choices rather than asking open-ended questions. By guiding users through critical decisions regarding scope, constraints, and success criteria, it produces a clear 'Before and After' summary that ensures the final implementation aligns perfectly with user intent.
