confidence-aware-planning

Planning with incomplete requirements requires assessing confidence levels first. This skill enforces honest uncertainty signaling by requiring explicit clarifying questions and assumption documentation before drafting any plans for ambiguous software features.

Confidence-aware planning is a structured workflow that enforces honest confidence signaling. It defines HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW confidence levels, surfaces assumptions for MEDIUM confidence, and blocks plan drafting for LOW confidence until clarifying questions are answered.

Document assumptions and risks by applying the MEDIUM confidence workflow during architecture reviews. This surfaces explicit assumptions and requires dedicated risk documentation before proceeding with the architectural planning process.

Ask clarifying questions instead of drafting a plan when confidence is LOW. The stop-and-clarify workflow strictly prohibits producing any plan until explicit questions regarding ambiguous scope or incomplete information are answered.

Yes, structured confidence levels apply to multi-agent coordination under uncertainty. The defined HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW confidence actions ensure all agents align on assumptions and require clarifications before proceeding with coordinated plans.

The limitation of confidence-aware planning is that it strictly halts plan generation when confidence is LOW. If you cannot obtain answers to clarifying questions, the workflow will not produce a draft plan for your feature scoping task.
