clarify-feature

clarify-feature is a command for Claude Code from mrvladd-d/memobank. It costs 13 tokens per session (912 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An optional command that clarifies one feature before the work is broken into tasks. A feature is a defined product requirement, identified here by an FT-NNN file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with one feature ID to inspect the product and feature documents, ask or record clarification, and report whether clarification is pending, complete, or blocked.
Why use it?
It helps resolve ambiguity early so task decomposition is based on a clearer requirement. It does not create tasks, implementation plans, or workflow gates.

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-feature 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 6d 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.

/clarify-feature - Optional feature ambiguity pass

This command is optional and manual. It does not create tasks, implementation plans, tiers, aliases, or a canonical workflow gate.

0) Input

Expected $ARGUMENTS:

  • FT-<NNN> for one target feature.

If no feature ID is provided:

  • interactive mode: ask the user to provide FT-<NNN>.
  • autonomous mode: halt with HALT_CLARIFICATION_TARGET_REQUIRED.

Do not auto-select a feature.

1) Locate target feature

Find exactly one matching file:

  • .memory-bank/features/FT-<NNN>-*.md

If no feature file matches, stop and report the missing target.

Feature clarification metadata is optional. If present, valid values are:

clarification_status: pending|complete|blocked
last_clarified: null|YYYY-MM-DD
clarification_questions: 0

Missing clarification metadata is not an error.

2) Read minimal context

Read only the context needed for this feature:

  • .memory-bank/product.md
  • .memory-bank/requirements.md
  • .memory-bank/features/FT-<NNN>-*.md

Read epics, glossary, invariants, contracts, states, testing docs, runbooks, or other docs only when:

  • the feature links to them, or
  • they are clearly needed to decide whether ambiguity affects decomposition.

3) Artifact

Create or update only:

  • .protocols/FT-<NNN>/clarification.md

Do not create:

  • task records
  • implementation plans
  • .protocols/FT-<NNN>/decision-log.md
  • .protocols/FT-<NNN>/clarification-report.md
  • command aliases
  • external spec directories

4) Pass-based interview

Each /clarify-feature FT-<NNN> run is one clarification pass.

Rules per pass:

  • ask exactly one question at a time
  • accept at most 5 answers
  • do not reveal queued future questions
  • after each accepted answer, update the feature doc
  • after each accepted answer, update .protocols/FT-<NNN>/clarification.md
  • after each accepted answer, recalculate remaining critical ambiguity

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.
