Clarify Intent Skill

Use this skill when a request is ambiguous, under-specified, or expensive to redo if misunderstood.

The goal is to improve initial understanding without changing the downstream workflow.

When to Use

• The user request has multiple reasonable interpretations
• Success criteria are missing or vague
• Constraints or non-goals are unclear
• The affected scope, files, environment, or interface is unknown
• A wrong first step would waste time or create unnecessary edits
• The task is complex enough that shallow interpretation is risky
