clarify

A requirements clarification command that resolves unclear feature requests and keeps requirements.md and spec.md in sync. It can use the project's language settings for conversations and document files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify a feature, select the correct feature files, and update the requirements and specification documents together.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion when a feature request has missing or conflicting details, and helps prevent the requirements record and technical specification from drifting apart.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 14 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 592 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Requirements Clarifier

Language Preference

Read .codexspec/config.yml. Two independent language controls apply (each falls back to language.output, then English):

  • Interaction language (language.interaction): language for all conversation with the user — questions, explanations, status messages, and codexspec CLI terminal output.
  • Document language (language.document): language for generated artifact files (requirements/spec/plan/tasks).

Converse in the interaction language and author artifacts in the document language. Apply the project's translation standard to both: translate by meaning (not word-for-word), keep English for terms with no good native equivalent, and write as if originally in that language.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Feature Resolution

Use an explicit path first, then the current branch. Ask the user when resolution is ambiguous; never silently select the latest feature.

Read:

  • requirements.md
  • spec.md
  • review-spec.md when present
  • Constitution

Legacy compatibility: when only spec.md exists, extract candidate requirement records with Status: open. Do not assume the extracted wording reflects the original discussion until the user confirms it.

Clarification Priorities

Prioritize:

  1. Confirmed requirement and spec mismatches
  2. Critical or Warning defects from review-spec.md
  3. Open items that block planning
  4. Material ambiguity, contradiction, missing behavior, or unverifiable requirements

Do not ask questions solely to fill a template section or add generic best practices.

Question Loop

  • Ask exactly one material question at a time.
  • Explain the affected requirement IDs and implementation consequence.
  • Offer 2-4 meaningful options when possible.
  • Limit a session to five questions unless the user explicitly asks to continue.

After each answer, keep it as a candidate. At a coherent stage boundary, present a stage summary and request explicit confirmation.

Persistence Order

Update requirements.md first.

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.

clarify is a command published in the GitHub repository Zts0hg/codexspec (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 592 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
