FAQPage Schema
How do I ask clarifying questions before starting implementation?▼

Use the --askme flag when beginning a task with ambiguous requirements. This generates targeted clarification prompts about goals, constraints, and success criteria before you proceed, preventing misalignment and wasted effort on incorrect assumptions.

When should I use clarification questions in software development?▼

Apply clarification questions when requirements are unclear or allow multiple interpretations—such as implementing authentication systems, refactoring modules, or designing API specifications. Interactive clarification resolves uncertainty early and aligns expectations.

Can I combine clarifying questions with other tools?▼

Yes. The --askme flag works with --foryou to tailor prompts to your specific context, making clarification questions more relevant to your exact situation and constraints.

What's the difference between guessing requirements and asking clarifying questions?▼

Guessing requirements leads to implementation misalignment and rework. Clarifying questions identify goals, constraints, and success criteria upfront, ensuring your approach matches actual needs before you invest development effort.

Do I need prior knowledge to use clarifying questions effectively?▼

No. Clarifying questions work best when requirements are ambiguous or you're uncertain about approach. The interactive prompts guide you to specify what matters—no special setup or background knowledge required.
