product-clarify

product-clarify is a skill for Claude Code from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,045 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review workflow for Product Decision Records, which are files that document important product choices and their reasoning. It asks focused questions and can mark approved records as Accepted.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after product discovery to review and approve decision records, or to revisit them before a product change is built.
Why use it?
It helps teams find gaps or conflicts in product decisions before implementation begins. Implementation skips records that have not been accepted.

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

product-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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/bash/pdr-lib.sh, scripts/bash/setup-product-clarify.sh, scripts/powershell/pdr-lib.ps1, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

product-clarify

What this skill does

Reviews existing PDRs for quality gaps, asks targeted clarification questions, and promotes approved PDRs to Accepted status. This is the quality gate before PRD generation.

Input: Individual PDR-*.md files in .adlc/drafts/pdr/ (status Proposed or Discovered)

Output: Updated PDR-*.md files (status Accepted where approved), regenerated pdr.md index

When to use

  • After /product-specify or /product-init to refine initial PDRs
  • Before /product-implement to approve PDRs (required — implement skips non-Accepted)
  • Periodic PDR review before milestones
  • Resolving inconsistency flags from cross-feature-area analysis

When NOT to use

  • No PDRs exist (use /product-specify or /product-init first)

Execution Steps

Phase 1: Load PDRs

  1. Run setup script:
sh: scripts/bash/setup-product-clarify.sh [--json]
ps: scripts/powershell/setup-product-clarify.ps1
  1. Read all PDR files from {REPO_ROOT}/.adlc/drafts/pdr/PDR-*.md
  2. Read constitution from {REPO_ROOT}/.adlc/memory/constitution.md if exists
  3. Build inventory:
| PDR | Title | Status | Category |
|-----|-------|--------|----------|
| PDR-001 | Target Market | Proposed | Problem |
| PDR-002 | Primary Persona | Proposed | Persona |

Phase 2: PDR Quality Analysis

Check each PDR against standards:

Dimension Check Severity if Missing
Context Problem clearly stated MEDIUM
Decision Actionable, testable HIGH
Consequences Positive AND negative HIGH
Success Metrics Defined with targets HIGH
Alternatives At least 2 with neutral trade-offs HIGH
Constitution Aligns with vision CRITICAL

Quality checklist:

  • Clear context explaining the problem/opportunity
  • Explicit, actionable decision statement
  • Positive AND negative consequences documented
  • At least 2 alternatives with neutral trade-offs (not "rejected because")
  • Success metrics defined
  • Risks identified with mitigation strategies
  • Valid status value
  • No conflicts with other PDRs
  • Alignment with constitution/vision principles

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.
