clarify
Skill2 starsChanged 4 months agoMITView on GitHub
Resolves the ambiguities of a requirement or spec with structured questions (max. 5) and records the answers in the spec's Clarifications section. Use between the F0 triage and F1, when asked to "clarify the requirement", or when a spec has [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 77 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 77 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Clarify: $ARGUMENTS
Step 1 — Ambiguity scan
Read the requirement (or the spec and its [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers)
together with the factory context (repos.yaml, current context packs, as-is,
knowledge/business-rules.md). Assess coverage per category — Clear /
Partial / Absent:
scope and out of scope · actors and permissions · main and alternative
flows · data and entities · business rules · external dependencies ·
NFRs (volume, latency, availability) · security/privacy/
regulatory · edge cases · measurable success criteria.
Step 2 — Questions (maximum 5)
Only ask what meets ALL THREE: (a) Partial/Absent category, (b) the answer changes scope, design or certification, (c) there is no reasonable default in the loaded context. Priority: scope > security/privacy > UX > technical detail. Format per question: concrete statement + options table (A, B, C… and "Other") with each option's implication in one line. Present the questions one at a time or as a block, whichever the user prefers; everything else is NOT asked: the default is assumed and noted as an assumption.
Step 3 — Record
With the answers:
- Add/update in the spec the section
## Clarifications→### Session <today's date>with format- Q: <question> → A: <answer> (decides: <who>). - Integrate each answer into the corresponding section of the spec
(stories, analysis, out of scope…) and remove its
[NEEDS CLARIFICATION]marker. - Ambiguities detected but not asked (they exceeded the maximum or had a default): into the Assumptions block of the Analysis section, or as a marker if they block (maximum 3 live markers in the spec).
If no spec exists yet (a requirement prior to /spec-create is being clarified), deliver the summary of decisions so /spec-create incorporates it from F1. Do not modify anything outside the indicated spec.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
