SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Feature specifications often contain ambiguities, missing decision points, and vague requirements that cause rework during planning and implementation. This Skill systematically scans a spec-kit feature spec, asks up to 5 targeted clarification questions, and writes the answers directly back into the spec. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Ambiguity Scan: Evaluates the spec against a taxonomy covering functional scope, data model, UX flows, non-functional attributes, integrations, edge cases, constraints, and terminology. - Interactive Questioning Loop: Presents one question at a time (multiple-choice or short answer) with a recommended option and reasoning, capped at 5 questions per session. - Incremental Spec Updates: Appends each accepted answer to a ## Clarifications session section and updates the relevant spec sections, then re-validates the requirements checklist. - Use Case: After running /speckit-specify to draft a feature spec, run this Skill before /speckit-plan to resolve open questions about security posture, scale assumptions, or acceptance criteria so downstream planning is not based on guesswork. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the speckit-clarify skill to review the current feature spec and resolve its ambiguities before planning.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify ambiguities in a spec-kit feature specification?▼

Run the speckit-clarify skill after creating a spec with /speckit-specify. It scans the spec across categories like functional scope, data model, and non-functional requirements, then asks up to 5 targeted questions and writes the answers back into the spec file.

When should I run spec clarification in the spec-kit workflow?▼

Run clarification after /speckit-specify and before /speckit-plan. Skipping it is allowed for exploratory spikes, but the skill warns that downstream rework risk increases when ambiguities remain unresolved.

What project structure does speckit-clarify require?▼

It requires a spec-kit project with a .specify/ directory, including the PowerShell prerequisite script and an existing feature spec. If the spec file is missing, it instructs you to run /speckit-specify first rather than creating one.

How many clarification questions can be asked per session?▼

A maximum of 5 questions per session. Each question must be answerable by a multiple-choice selection or a short answer of five words or fewer, and retries to disambiguate an answer do not count as new questions.

Does clarification update the spec quality checklist automatically?▼

Yes. If FEATURE_DIR/checklists/requirements.md exists, the skill re-evaluates each checkbox item against the updated spec, toggles only markers whose pass/fail state changed, and reports newly passing items, regressions, and remaining gaps.
