requirements-clarification

Clarify a material user-owned product decision before substantive implementation commitments. Use only when request and named/governing evidence still leave a choice that would materially change scope, platform support, user-facing surface, data/API contract, domain values, project placement, or cross-system architecture; also use when a truncated request omits such a choice. On the initial turn, inspect only named or governing requirements evidence, then ask directly without loading: prefer structured input; ask one blocking outcome question or at most three coupled questions; wait. After the answer, load the body before write or delegation. Do not use for implement/build/fix/debug/refactor work when expected behavior is settled, plan/design deliverables owned by Plan, complexity/greenfield/integration alone, agent-owned technical choices, locally discoverable facts, reversible defaults, permission to begin, or stop/no-tool turns. Never re-ask supplied facts or turn clarification into refusal.

# Requirements Clarification

Resolve only a remaining user-owned product decision. Do not turn normal
implementation uncertainty into a question.

1. Read the request and any explicitly named or governing requirements source.
   Do not scan broadly for hypothetical ambiguity. If this evidence settles the
   outcome, proceed without asking.
2. Separate user-owned outcomes and authoritative inputs from agent-owned
   implementation choices. Research discoverable facts yourself. Never ask the
   user to choose a library, framework, or method the agent can determine.
3. If a narrow reversible default safely satisfies the request, state it and
   proceed. Complexity, greenfield status, file count, or integration work alone
   never requires clarification.
