.claude/skills/task-clarifying-questions/# Clarifying Questions Skill ## When to Ask Questions Ask clarifying questions **only if** the provided task details are missing critical information. ## How to Ask Questions **CRITICAL:** Always use the `AskUserQuestion` tool - never ask questions in plain text. - Limit to 1-4 questions per round - Each question should have 2-4 clear options - Focus on the most critical missing information ## Key Information to Gather Ask about what's missing: 1. **Problem & Goal** - What problem does this solve? 2. **Acceptance Criteria** - How will we know it's done? 3. **Scope** - What's included and what's not? 4. **Target Users** - Who will use this and how? 5. **Technical Constraints** - Any specific requirements or limitations? ## When You Have Enough Stop asking when you can clearly define: - What problem we're solving - What success looks like - What's in and out of scope
