What problem does it solve?
Common mistake — proceeding with assumptions about ambiguous requirements instead of asking a clarifying question first. This skill reminds you to stop and ask before acting on uncertain interpretations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Enforces asking one clarifying question when requirements are unclear to avoid misinterpretation.
- Reduces rework by documenting the agreed clarification path for future work.
- Use Case: When a user asks to "improve the UI" with no specifics, prompt for details before proceeding.
Quick Start
Ask ONE clarifying question before acting when requirements are unclear.
