SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of vague, underspecified, or bloated AI requests by forcing a clarification and refinement phase before any code is written, ensuring the output is high-quality and clutter-free.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prompt Sharpening: Automatically rewrites rough user requests into precise, actionable prompts that follow the Kanso principles.
  • Ambiguity Pre-flight: Identifies missing acceptance criteria or fuzzy scope before execution begins, preventing wasted effort.
  • Principled Execution: Ensures all generated code adheres to strict anti-clutter rules, avoiding defensive programming and redundant comments.

Quick Start

Invoke the skill by typing /kanso-task followed by your rough request to begin the sharpening and execution process.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refine ambiguous AI coding requests into actionable prompts?

To refine ambiguous AI coding requests, you can use a prompt sharpening process that performs an ambiguity pre-flight check, identifies missing acceptance criteria, and rewrites the task into a precise, actionable prompt before execution begins.

How do I enforce minimalist coding principles during automated refactoring?

To enforce minimalist coding principles during refactoring, apply strict anti-clutter rules during execution that actively prevent defensive programming, redundant comments, and code bloat while generating the target changes.

What is the best way to prevent bloated AI code generation before execution?

The best way to prevent bloated AI code generation is to run an ambiguity pre-flight phase that catches fuzzy scope and missing criteria, forcing a clarification step that refines the request into a sharp prompt prior to writing any code.

Do I need Bash access to use context-aware refactoring tools for code quality?

Yes, context-aware refactoring requires Bash access to command-line utilities such as git, rg, find, and wc to gather repository context and ensure task completion aligns with the requested minimalist standards.

How does an ambiguity pre-flight check improve code quality in AI automation?

An ambiguity pre-flight check improves code quality by identifying missing acceptance criteria and fuzzy scope before execution begins, preventing wasted effort and ensuring the generated output is high-quality and clutter-free.

When should I not use prompt sharpening for my coding tasks?

You should avoid prompt sharpening for coding tasks when your environment lacks Bash access to git, rg, find, and wc, as the skill relies on these dependencies to perform context-aware task completion and strict anti-clutter execution.
