About This Skill
What it does
This skill helps clarify ambiguous or incomplete requirements. It can rephrase requests to be more specific, identify missing information needed for completion, and suggest alternative approaches based on potential interpretations of the initial request. The goal is to ensure a shared understanding before proceeding with any task.
When to use it
- When a user's instructions are vague or open-ended (e.g., "Write some code").
- Before starting a complex project where misunderstandings could lead to wasted effort.
- To proactively identify potential issues in requirements documents before development begins.
- When dealing with stakeholders who may not be technical and have difficulty articulating their needs precisely.
Key capabilities
- Requirement rephrasing
- Missing information identification
- Alternative approach suggestion
- Ambiguity resolution
Example prompts
- "Can you clarify what 'some code' means for this project?"
- "I need a report on sales data. What specific time period and metrics should I include?"
- “The requirements say ‘user authentication’. Can you help me break that down into more detailed steps?”
Tips & gotchas
This skill is most effective when used early in a process, before significant work has begun. It relies on the AI agent's ability to understand natural language and infer intent; complex or highly technical requirements may still require human review.
