intent-clarification

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents wasted effort by ensuring research requests are clear, specific, and actionable before any investigation begins, transforming ambiguous prompts into precise research plans.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Ambiguity Detection: Identifies missing scope, goals, deliverables, context, or audience in user requests.
• Targeted Questioning: Uses the 5W1H framework to ask precise, single-question clarifications.
• Validation & Scoping: Paraphrases understanding and explicitly defines research boundaries (in/out of scope).
• Use Case: When a user asks to "research the codebase," this skill prompts them for specifics like "What aspect of the codebase interests you?" and "What is your goal with this research?" to define a clear research path.

Quick Start

Use the intent-clarification skill to ask clarifying questions about the vague research request "Investigate the system."
