ask-questions-if-underspecified

You clarify underspecified requirements by asking targeted questions to resolve ambiguity in objectives, scope, constraints, or environment details before implementation begins. This prevents wasted effort by ensuring requests are unambiguous.

Your workflow fails because critical details are missing, leading to incorrect assumptions. Using structured questioning with multiple-choice options and suggested defaults resolves this ambiguity efficiently before any implementation work starts.

The best way to ask clarifying questions is to use concise, scannable formats with multiple-choice options and suggested defaults. This frictionless questioning approach speeds up requirement gathering when objectives and scope are unclear.

Yes, you can use structured questioning to resolve ambiguity in project scope and constraints. This approach identifies missing environment details and acceptance criteria, ensuring efficient clarification through targeted questions with defaults.

You need requirement clarification when a request has multiple plausible interpretations or critical details are missing. Asking targeted questions before proceeding ensures objectives, scope, and environment constraints are fully resolved.
