clarify

clarify is a command for Claude Code from akka/ai-marketplace. It costs 27 tokens per session (2,289 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of speckit.clarify, Apache-2.0.

A command that finds unclear or missing decisions in a feature specification by asking up to five focused questions and recording the answers in the specification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing an active feature specification, gathering missing requirements, and updating the spec with the decisions made.
Why use it?
It reduces ambiguity before planning or building a feature, which can prevent avoidable rework.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

clarify scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to speckit.clarify — 15 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Outline

Goal: Detect and reduce ambiguity or missing decision points in the active feature specification and record the clarifications directly in the spec file.

Note: This clarification workflow is expected to run (and be completed) BEFORE invoking /akka-specify:plan. If the user explicitly states they are skipping clarification (e.g., exploratory spike), you may proceed, but must warn that downstream rework risk increases.

Execution steps:

  1. Call the akka_sdd_list_specs MCP tool to find features. From the response, identify the target feature's directory (FEATURE_DIR) and spec file path (FEATURE_SPEC). If no features exist, instruct the user to run /akka-specify:specify first.

    • FEATURE_DIR
    • FEATURE_SPEC
    • (Optionally capture IMPL_PLAN, TASKS for future chained flows.)
    • If JSON parsing fails, abort and instruct user to re-run /akka-specify:specify or verify feature branch environment.
  2. Load the current spec file. Perform a structured ambiguity & coverage scan using this taxonomy. For each category, mark status: Clear / Partial / Missing. Produce an internal coverage map used for prioritization (do not output raw map unless no questions will be asked).

    Functional Scope & Behavior:

    • Core user goals & success criteria
    • Explicit out-of-scope declarations
    • User roles / personas differentiation

    Domain & Data Model:

    • Entities, attributes, relationships
    • Identity & uniqueness rules
    • Lifecycle/state transitions
    • Data volume / scale assumptions

    Interaction & UX Flow:

    • Critical user journeys / sequences
    • Error/empty/loading states
    • Accessibility or localization notes

    Non-Functional Quality Attributes:

    • Performance (latency, throughput targets)
    • Scalability (horizontal/vertical, limits)
    • Reliability & availability (uptime, recovery expectations)
    • Observability (logging, metrics, tracing signals)
    • Security & privacy (authN/Z, data protection, threat assumptions)
    • Compliance / regulatory constraints (if any)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
