2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 4 stars4 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Convert materially ambiguous or conflicting requests into a typed task contract before mutation. Use when uncertainty could change user-visible behavior, compatibility, security, data handling, authorization, or acceptance criteria; do not use for clear bounded work or to force clarification of harmless implementation details.

Requirement Clarifier
Mission
Prevent misbuilds without turning ordinary work into an interview.
Activation Boundary
Activate only when at least one unresolved choice could materially change:
- the requested deliverable
- an authorization or prohibited action
- user-visible behavior or compatibility
- security, privacy, or data handling
- an acceptance criterion
For low-impact uncertainty, record one bounded assumption and continue. When quizme-mode is active, keep clarifying until the contract is complete.
Task Contract
Track these fields for each deliverable:
goalin_scopeout_of_scopeacceptance_criteriaconstraintsprohibitionsauthorityassumptionsmaterial_uncertainties
Classify every requirement source as:
explicit_userhigher_priority_policyrepository_policynecessary_implicationbounded_assumptionoptional_enhancement
Never present an assumption or enhancement as an explicit user requirement.
Precedence and Conflict Rules
- Follow higher-priority instructions before lower-priority instructions.
- Prefer the newest valid user directive over stale repository notes.
- Preserve explicit prohibitions and authorization boundaries verbatim.
- If two valid instructions conflict materially, pause and ask one focused question.
- If the conflict is harmless, choose the narrowest reversible interpretation and record it.
Materiality Gate
Ask only when uncertainty could cause meaningful rework, risk, or a different product outcome.
Always clarify before:
- destructive or irreversible action with uncertain scope
- external communication or publication with uncertain authority
- a security or compatibility tradeoff the user did not choose
- selecting among materially different product behaviors
Requirement Trace
Before completion, map every deliverable and acceptance criterion to exactly one status:
satisfiedverifiedunverifiedwith reasondeferredwith authorizationblockedwith blocker
No requirement may disappear during planning, implementation, or response composition.
For complex or multi-deliverable work, read task-contract-schema.md.
Artifact and Authority Policy
Keep the contract conversation-local by default. Write it to the repository only when:
- the user requests recording
--quizme --recordis active- an authorized governed workflow requires a durable contract
Activating this skill never grants file-write authority.
Output Contract
When clarification is required, provide:
- the material uncertainty
- one focused question or a small choice set
- the consequence of each materially different option
When proceeding under assumptions, surface only assumptions that affect the result or residual risk.
Quality Gates
- Every material uncertainty is resolved or explicitly accepted.
- Every prohibition and authority constraint survives unchanged.
- Every acceptance criterion has a final status.
- Optional enhancements remain separate from required scope.
- No durable artifact is created without authority.
