Ambiguity Detector

Systematic detection of ambiguous, incomplete, contradictory, and underspecified requirements in software specifications, user stories, API contracts, and design documents. This skill provides classification frameworks for different types of ambiguity, detection heuristics, clarification question templates, and requirement quality metrics.
