View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Guides an AI agent to pause and ask clarifying questions when a request has ambiguous objectives, unclear scope, or missing constraints. The agent asks 1-5 targeted questions before doing any work, offers multiple-choice options with defaults, and waits for answers before proceeding. Without this skill, agents make plausible-but-wrong assumptions and produce work that must be thrown out; structured upfront questions eliminate entire branches of wasted effort.
