bf-clarify

bf-clarify is a skill for Claude Code from chan4lk/specclaw. It costs 16 tokens per session (5,883 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A clarification-question generator for Specclaw analysis notes. It turns uncertainties, conflicting documents, missing decisions, and unused code paths into a numbered question file grouped by types such as decision, data, scope, and defect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after analysis to create or update `.specclaw/analysis/clarifications.md`, including extracted questions and standard project questions.
Why use it?
It makes assumptions and unresolved choices explicit instead of leaving them buried in analysis notes. The resulting questions can be answered through a shared resolution process.

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

bf-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 24d 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 — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

specclaw bf-clarify

First, run specclaw-ensure-init .specclaw — idempotently creates .specclaw/ if it doesn't exist (silent if already initialized; auto-inits using the current directory's basename as the project name).

Turn the implicit uncertainty in .specclaw/analysis/*.md, plus the shaping questions no amount of code extraction can surface, into one explicit, numbered decision record. Read-only side-command — no specclaw-validate-change call, no <change> involved, matching the analyze/architecture/domain/rebuild-plan pattern.

Three question families share one clarifications.md and one --resolve pipeline — see templates/clarifications.md's HTML comment for the authoritative field-by-field breakdown:

  • CQ-NNN — extracted from .specclaw/analysis/*.md by the extraction agent (unchanged from before this upgrade). Allocated per-repo, in extraction order.
  • SQ-NNN — the standard bank (references/clarify-standard-questions.md, shipped with the plugin). IDs are fixed by the bank file itself, not allocated per-repo — SQ-001 means "target platform" in every project. Type/Blocking/Options/Proposed default are spliced in verbatim from the bank file by render, identical everywhere; only Finding/Why it matters/Source/Answer are project-specific.
  • UQ-NNN — per-repo custom questions from .specclaw/analysis/custom-questions.md, ingested by render directly (no agent involved). Allocated per-repo, in file order. render scaffolds this file itself: the first time a Mode A run (default or --bank-only) finds nothing at .specclaw/analysis/custom-questions.md, it copies templates/custom-questions.md there verbatim, and the run summary reports the scaffold. Edit the scaffolded file and re-run to turn its questions into real UQ-NNNs. The invariant that matters most: once anything exists at that path — even an empty file, even a malformed one — it is never overwritten, re-rendered, or otherwise touched again, by any later run, no matter how it got there or what it contains. It becomes user-authored the moment it exists. De-duplicated by each question's original heading text, recorded in its Source field — editing an already-ingested heading's wording later does not retroactively rewrite the rendered UQ-NNN; it reads as a brand-new question with a new ID. Edit the rendered question in clarifications.md instead if you want to change it.

Three modes, chosen by which flag the user's invocation carries: --resolve selects Mode B, --options-pack selects Mode C, neither selects Mode A. Mode A additionally accepts --bank-only. The three flags are mutually exclusive — if an invocation carries more than one, say so and ask which was meant rather than picking one. Mode C runs no extraction, spawns no bank agent, and writes neither clarifications.md nor decisions.md: it is a read-and-package pass over what Modes A and B already wrote.

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.
