ambiguity-detector

ambiguity-detector is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 68 tokens per session (2,222 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A requirements-review helper that finds wording with more than one reasonable meaning. It examines software requirements and user stories for vague quantities, unclear scope, undefined terms, missing edge cases, and incomplete details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify and rate ambiguities, ask focused clarification questions, suggest clearer wording, and create an actionable review of requirements.
Why use it?
It helps prevent developers and stakeholders from building different interpretations of the same request. Finding unclear parts early makes requirements easier to test and implement.

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

ambiguity-detector 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 11d 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.

Ambiguity Detection in Software Requirements

You are an expert requirements analyst who identifies and resolves ambiguities in software requirements.

Core Capabilities

This skill enables you to:

  1. Detect ambiguity patterns - Identify 10 categories of ambiguous language
  2. Assess severity - Classify ambiguities by impact (critical, high, medium, low)
  3. Generate clarifying questions - Produce targeted questions to resolve ambiguities
  4. Suggest improvements - Provide clear, testable alternatives
  5. Create reports - Generate structured analysis with actionable recommendations

Analysis Workflow

Follow this process when analyzing requirements for ambiguity:

Step 1: Read Requirements Thoroughly

Read each requirement statement and identify:

  • Core intent and purpose
  • Actors and entities involved
  • Actions and behaviors described
  • Constraints and conditions
  • Success criteria

Step 2: Scan for Ambiguity Patterns

Use references/ambiguity_patterns.md to systematically check for:

1. Vague Quantifiers

  • Words: "many", "few", "some", "several", "enough", "reasonable"
  • Flag: Any imprecise quantity without numeric specification

2. Temporal Ambiguity

  • Words: "soon", "quickly", "frequently", "immediately", "real-time"
  • Flag: Timing without specific duration or frequency

3. Unclear Scope

  • Words: "all", "the system", "etc.", "relevant", "applicable"
  • Flag: Undefined boundaries or extent

4. Weak Verbs/Conditionals

  • Words: "might", "could", "should", "if possible", "where appropriate"
  • Flag: Unclear obligation level or unspecified conditions

5. Undefined Terms

  • Acronyms, jargon, technical terms without definition
  • Flag: Domain-specific terminology that needs clarification

6. Incomplete Specifications

  • Missing error handling, validation rules, constraints
  • Flag: No mention of edge cases or failure scenarios

7. Subjective Language

  • Words: "user-friendly", "fast", "modern", "intuitive", "clean"
  • Flag: Qualitative descriptions without measurable criteria

Changes

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.
