What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by blockmatic/basilic in .agents/skills/workflow/clarify-task/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Purpose and inputs

Use when missing requirements prevent a sound plan. Read the task, relevant docs and implementation before asking what the repository already answers.

Steps

  1. Separate known facts, reversible assumptions, and decisions that belong to the user.
  2. Ask only questions whose answers change scope, architecture, acceptance criteria, or a consequential boundary. Offer concise choices when useful; avoid a fixed interview quota.
  3. Incorporate answers into the existing task or plan. Continue independent work while awaiting an answer where the harness supports it.

Verification and handoff

  • The remaining questions affect a concrete decision.
  • Accepted answers and assumptions are reflected in the next step.
  • An already-authorized implementation is not delayed by a second generic confirmation.

Continue the requested planning or implementation once its required inputs are available.
