A workflow that clarifies an unclear coding subtask through brainstorming, with an optional document-based review when the specification is ambiguous.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of complex or unclear subtasks to shape their scope and requirements.
Why use it?
It helps expose uncertainty before implementation while skipping the extra discussion for simple tasks.

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

task-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 25d 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.

task-clarify workflow (v3)

Overview

Single-phase sub-workflow mapping the user's CLAUDE.md Stage ③.a 子任务澄清 discipline onto the harnessed runtime, fully harnessed.workflow.v3 schema (Phase v3.0-3.4 W0 T3.4.W0.6 — D-09 L0 Discipline Substrate + D-05 conditional invokes_tools + D-04 gate ref).

phase id upstream model capability / invokes_tools gate
1 01-brainstorm superpowers sonnet {{ capabilities.superpowers-brainstorming.cmd }} + invokes_tools: [{if: phase.spec_ambiguous, tool: grill-with-docs}] judgments.subtask-gate.brainstorming.fires

Per-phase config loads from workflows/task/clarify/workflow.yaml; engine.runRouting spawns each phase as a sub-agent via @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk 0.3.142+.

Per-subtask repeat invoke pattern

task-clarify is NOT a one-shot 阶段 — execute-task master orchestrator delegates to task-clarify 每个 subtask 入口走一次 evaluate gate (subtask-gate.brainstorming .fires) 是否激活。Skip path — small OR routine AND no design decision (approaches < 2, no core algorithm, no API contract, error_cost not 'high') — bypasses brainstorming per CLAUDE.md "拿不准 → 倾向跳过"。Phase 58: size alone no longer vetoes; "< 20 行" is a modifier on "单一明显实现", not the criterion.

Discipline Substrate (L0 always-on)

6 disciplines (karpathy + output-style + language + operational + priority + protocols) apply cross-cutting per D-09 L0 Discipline Substrate — workflow runtime pre-phase hook loads discipline yaml + applies rules. Sentinel category behavioral SKIP cmd invoke; runtime engine routes via discipline_ref ref to workflows/disciplines/<basename>.yaml.

Conditional grill-with-docs fire (D-05 invokes_tools)

Phase 01-brainstorm 条件性 fire grill-with-docs when phase.spec_ambiguous == true — sister CLAUDE.md "Discuss / Research 阶段" mattpocock 招式按需召唤 pattern; NOT 强制 unconditional fire (D-05 invokes_tools 与 OnClause 并存, 但作用面不同 — invokes_tools phase-level conditional tool fire NOT 决定 phase 是否走)。

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.
