guild-loop-clarify

To surface missing assumptions before committing a spec, run an adversarial clarify loop between an architect and researcher role. This structured dialogue enforces a sentinel-terminated process that exposes unresolved questions and gaps early.

Mitigating scope creep risk for guild specs requires enforcing an adversarial loop with a fixed iteration cap and sentinel termination. This process converts unresolved questions into a consolidated assumptions list appended directly to the spec.

The adversarial clarify loop works by having the architect draft scoping details while the researcher challenges them, creating structured handoffs. It enforces workflow controls, tracks rounds, and escalates unresolved questions before spec writing begins.

Yes, you can enforce a fixed iteration limit for cross-team alignment clarification. The loop applies a strict cap with sentinel checks to terminate the dialogue, producing a provable trail of rounds and handoffs for the spec.

You need to run a spec clarification loop when preparing guild specs that require cross-team alignment across iterations. It is specifically designed to gather unresolved questions and mitigate risks before you commit to writing the final spec.

Running an adversarial spec clarification workflow produces outputs including status, completed rounds, handoffs, unresolved questions, and a consolidated assumptions list for the spec. This provides a provable trail for risk mitigation.
