A question-and-answer tool for refining an existing software specification. A specification is a written description of what a feature should do.

Use it to answer up to five structured questions and apply the answers directly to an existing spec.md file.

It exposes unclear or missing requirements before implementation, reducing the chance that developers build the wrong thing.

clarify — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by JotJunior: A question-and-answer tool for refining an existing software specification.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add skills/jotjunior/cstk/clarify

Any agent

npx skills add JotJunior/cstk --skill clarify

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/JotJunior/cstk

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install cstk, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 21 skills, 7 commands, 7 agents.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00052	$0.04148
Opus 5	$0.00026	$0.02074
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00830
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00415

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 4d 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.

Skill: Clarificar Spec

Identifique e resolva ambiguidades em uma feature spec existente via perguntas estruturadas, integrando as respostas diretamente no documento.

Modos de invocacao

Esta skill suporta dois modos:

Interativo (default) — humano executa /clarify; skill faz Q&A direto com o usuario, uma pergunta por vez (ETAPA 4 deste documento).
Padrao de dois atores (apenas dentro de agente-00c) — o orquestrador spawna agente-00c-clarify-asker (gera perguntas) + agente-00c-clarify-answerer (responde com scoring 0..3) como subagentes irmaos. NAO chame esses subagentes diretamente via /clarify — eles sao primitivas do orquestrador.

Dentro do modo dois-atores, se a tool Agent estiver indisponivel no harness (sintoma: spawn falha com erro de tool, nao com erro de prompt), o orquestrador faz downgrade EXPLICITO via Decisao auditada — nao silently fallback. Ver agente-00c-orchestrator.md §5.a (Dry-run da tool Agent).

Pre-requisitos

Obrigatorio: spec.md ja existente (criado via /specify ou manualmente). Sem spec, a skill aborta e instrui a rodar /specify primeiro.

Opcional: docs/constitution.md para validar respostas contra principios.

Proximos passos

/checklist — gerar quality gate de requisitos apos clarificacao
/plan — spec agora esta pronta para gerar plano tecnico
/clarify novamente — apenas se Outstanding de alto impacto persistirem

Argumentos

$ARGUMENTS

Leitura de artefatos foundational (briefing + constitution)

Antes de ler docs/briefing.md (ou o legado docs/01-briefing-discovery/briefing.md) ou docs/constitution.md direto do disco, verifique se ha cache valido populado pelo agente-00c ou feature-00c. Aditivo — se nao houver cache, leia direto do disco conforme comportamento padrao (FR-CACHE-014).

Detectar agente ativo: variavel AGENTE_00C_STATE_DIR setada, OU <projeto-alvo>/.claude/agente-00c-state/state.json existente, OU <projeto-alvo>/.claude/feature-00c-state/<short>/state.json.

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.

clarify is a skill published in the GitHub repository JotJunior/cstk (22 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 4,148 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
