clarify

clarify is a skill for Claude Code from Rylaa/fable5-opus5-orchestrator. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,287 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A clarification procedure for turning an ambiguous request into a written list of requirements before work is assigned to another agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify unanswered questions, record assumptions, and get approval before delegating or editing work.
Why use it?
It reduces rework caused by hidden assumptions about what should be built or changed.

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 today.

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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Clarify Before You Delegate

A worker cannot ask the user anything. Every ambiguity you carry into a spawn prompt becomes a guess the worker commits to code, and you pay for it twice — once building the wrong thing, once rebuilding it. Every question is asked at the START of the job; none in the middle.

Chair only. A subagent that hits an ambiguity reports it to the chair with SendMessage and waits.

The gate

Nothing is delegated, planned, or edited until every ambiguity that would change the work is resolved by the USER'S ANSWER — never by an assumption. ## Clarified in the ledger is the record, and the spawn guard denies without it.

Read first, then ask

Never ask what the repo answers: open the files the request touches before the first question. Code shows what IS, never what they WANT — reading feeds the questions, it answers none of them.

Scan — seven axes, at EVERY size

Each axis that is unresolved AND would change the work is a question:

  1. Scope edge — what is deliberately OUT? The unnamed neighbour is where scope creep lives.
  2. Acceptance — how is "done" observed? Name the test, the command, the screen.
  3. Constraints — backward compatibility, dependencies, budget, what must not move.
  4. Ownership of choices — whose taste is each decision? Guessing on taste is expensive.
  5. Priority conflict — when speed, correctness, and token cost disagree, which wins here?
  6. Contact with what exists — which current file, pattern, or contract does this touch? Read first.
  7. Failure behaviour — what happens on error, and what does rollback look like?

Filter — ask only what changes the work

Before asking: would a different answer produce different code? If no, it goes unasked and unwritten. This filter is what makes an uncapped question loop safe.

Always asked — where the work lands

One question is exempt from the filter and asked at EVERY size: does this land on the branch checked out now, or a new one? You cannot infer it — the branch you happen to be on is where the user was working, not a decision about this task.

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.
