Ask Questions If Underspecified

Goal

Ask the minimum set of clarifying questions needed to avoid wrong work; do not start implementing until the must-have questions are answered (or the user explicitly approves proceeding with stated assumptions).

Only use this skill when explicitly invoked.

Trigger rules

• Use when the user explicitly invokes this skill or clearly asks for clarification before implementation.
• Use when key requirements are ambiguous enough to risk wrong implementation.
• Do not use when the request is already specific, testable, and ready to execute.

Workflow

1) Decide whether the request is underspecified
