What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates unnecessary user interruptions during AI architect planning by filtering out non-critical clarification questions via a structured 4-stage funnel, ensuring users are only asked for decisions that genuinely require their input.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 4-Stage Clarification Funnel: Systematically inventories all material uncertainties, classifies each item, consults the critic sounding board, and surfaces only required user decisions.
- Critic Sounding Board Integration: Leverages critic review to drop unnecessary questions, rephrase unclear ones, and resolve items where safe defaults exist.
- Always-Surface Category Enforcement: Guarantees critical decisions around scope, security, compatibility, and breaking changes are never silently dropped.
- Use Case: For an ambiguous request to add a new payment processing feature, the architect runs this protocol to only ask the user about security risk tolerance and rollout strategy, rather than interrupting them with questions about internal implementation details that can be resolved from existing context.
Quick Start
Use the clarify skill to run the structured clarification funnel on the user's ambiguous request for a new user authentication system and return only the decisions that require user input.
