assumption-surfacing

What problem does it solve?

This Principle reduces misalignment by ensuring that ambiguity in user requests is surfaced rather than silently inferred.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Propose interpretations when ambiguity is detected to prevent silent inferences.
• Ask clarifying questions to resolve scope, priorities, and constraints.
• Explicitly defer to user delegation when a user requests it or when confidence is low.
• Use this across tasks beyond development, including bug fixes, refactoring, documentation, and configuration changes.

Quick Start

Begin every task by surfacing assumptions or asking clarifying questions before acting.
