+description: Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
+---
+
+The user input to you can be provided directly by the agent or as a command argument - you **MUST** consider it before proceeding with the prompt (if not empty).
+
+User input:
+
+$ARGUMENTS
+
+Goal: Detect and reduce ambiguity or missing decision points in the active feature specification and record the clarifications directly in the spec file.
+
+Note: This clarification workflow is expected to run (and be completed) BEFORE invoking `/plan`. If the user explicitly states they are skipping clarification (e.g., exploratory spike), you may proceed, but must warn that downstream rework risk increases.
+
+Execution steps:
+
+1. Run `.specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --paths-only` from repo root **once** (combined `--json --paths-only` mode / `-Json -PathsOnly`). Parse minimal JSON payload fields:
+   - `FEATURE_DIR`
+   - `FEATURE_SPEC`
+   - (Optionally capture `IMPL_PLAN`, `TASKS` for future chained flows.)
+   - If JSON parsing fails, abort and instruct user to re-run `/specify` or verify feature branch environment.
+
+2. Load the current spec file. Perform a structured ambiguity & coverage scan using this taxonomy. For each category, mark status: Clear / Partial / Missing. Produce an internal coverage map used for prioritization (do not output raw map unless no questions will be asked).
+
+   Functional Scope & Behavior:
+   - Core user goals & success criteria
+   - Explicit out-of-scope declarations
+   - User roles / personas differentiation
+
+   Domain & Data Model:
+   - Entities, attributes, relationships
+   - Identity & uniqueness rules
+   - Lifecycle/state transitions
+   - Data volume / scale assumptions
+
+   Interaction & UX Flow:
+   - Critical user journeys / sequences
+   - Error/empty/loading states
+   - Accessibility or localization notes
+
+   Non-Functional Quality Attributes:
+   - Performance (latency, throughput targets)
+   - Scalability (horizontal/vertical, limits)
+   - Reliability & availability (uptime, recovery expectations)
+   - Observability (logging, metrics, tracing signals)
+   - Security & privacy (authN/Z, data protection, threat assumptions)
+   - Compliance / regulatory constraints (if any)
+
+   Integration & External Dependencies:
+   - External services/APIs and failure modes
+   - Data import/export formats
+   - Protocol/versioning assumptions
+
+   Edge Cases & Failure Handling:
+   - Negative scenarios
+   - Rate limiting / throttling
+   - Conflict resolution (e.g., concurrent edits)
+
+   Constraints & Tradeoffs:
+   - Technical constraints (language, storage, hosting)
+   - Explicit tradeoffs or rejected alternatives
+
+   Terminology & Consistency:
+   - Canonical glossary terms
+   - Avoided synonyms / deprecated terms
+
+   Completion Signals:
+   - Acceptance criteria testability
+   - Measurable Definition of Done style indicators
+
+   Misc / Placeholders:
+   - TODO markers / unresolved decisions
+   - Ambiguous adjectives ("robust", "intuitive") lacking quantification
+
+   For each category with Partial or Missing status, add a candidate question opportunity unless:
+   - Clarification would not materially change implementation or validation strategy
+   - Information is better deferred to planning phase (note internally)
+
+3. Generate (internally) a prioritized queue of candidate clarification questions (maximum 5). Do NOT output them all at once. Apply these constraints:
+    - Maximum of 5 total questions across the whole session.
+    - Each question must be answerable with EITHER:
+       * A short multiple‑choice selection (2–5 distinct, mutually exclusive options), OR
+       * A one-word / short‑phrase answer (explicitly constrain: "Answer in <=5 words").
+   - Only include questions whose answers materially impact architecture, data modeling, task decomposition, test design, UX behavior, operational readiness, or compliance validation.
+   - Ensure category coverage balance: attempt to cover the highest impact unresolved categories first; avoid asking two low-impact questions when a single high-impact area (e.g., security posture) is unresolved.
+   - Exclude questions already answered, trivial stylistic preferences, or plan-level execution details (unless blocking correctness).
+   - Favor clarifications that reduce downstream rework risk or prevent misaligned acceptance tests.
+   - If more than 5 categories remain unresolved, select the top 5 by (Impact * Uncertainty) heuristic.
+
+4. Sequential questioning loop (interactive):
+    - Present EXACTLY ONE question at a time.
+    - For multiple‑choice questions render options as a Markdown table:
+
+       | Option | Description |
+       |--------|-------------|
+       | A | <Option A description> |
+       | B | <Option B description> |
+       | C | <Option C description> | (add D/E as needed up to 5)
+       | Short | Provide a different short answer (<=5 words) | (Include only if free-form alternative is appropriate)
+
+    - For short‑answer style (no meaningful discrete options), output a single line after the question: `Format: Short answer (<=5 words)`.
+    - After the user answers:
+       * Validate the answer maps to one option or fits the <=5 word constraint.
+       * If ambiguous, ask for a quick disambiguation (count still belongs to same question; do not advance).
+       * Once satisfactory, record it in working memory (do not yet write to disk) and move to the next queued question.
+    - Stop asking further questions when:
+       * All critical ambiguities resolved early (remaining queued items become unnecessary), OR
+       * User signals completion ("done", "good", "no more"), OR
+       * You reach 5 asked questions.
+    - Never reveal future queued questions in advance.
+    - If no valid questions exist at start, immediately report no critical ambiguities.
+
+5. Integration after EACH accepted answer (incremental update approach):
+    - Maintain in-memory representation of the spec (loaded once at start) plus the raw file contents.
+    - For the first integrated answer in this session:
+       * Ensure a `## Clarifications` section exists (create it just after the highest-level contextual/overview section per the spec template if missing).
+       * Under it, create (if not present) a `### Session YYYY-MM-DD` subheading for today.
+    - Append a bullet line immediately after acceptance: `- Q: <question> → A: <final answer>`.
+    - Then immediately apply the clarification to the most appropriate section(s):
+       * Functional ambiguity → Update or add a bullet in Functional Requirements.
+       * User interaction / actor distinction → Update User Stories or Actors subsection (if present) with clarified role, constraint, or scenario.
+       * Data shape / entities → Update Data Model (add fields, types, relationships) preserving ordering; note added constraints succinctly.
+       * Non-functional constraint → Add/modify measurable criteria in Non-Functional / Quality Attributes section (convert vague adjective to metric or explicit target).
+       * Edge case / negative flow → Add a new bullet under Edge Cases / Error Handling (or create such subsection if template provides placeholder for it).
+       * Terminology conflict → Normalize term across spec; retain original only if necessary by adding `(formerly referred to as "X")` once.
+    - If the clarification invalidates an earlier ambiguous statement, replace that statement instead of duplicating; leave no obsolete contradictory text.
+    - Save the spec file AFTER each integration to minimize risk of context loss (atomic overwrite).
+    - Preserve formatting: do not reorder unrelated sections; keep heading hierarchy intact.
+    - Keep each inserted clarification minimal and testable (avoid narrative drift).
+
+6. Validation (performed after EACH write plus final pass):
+   - Clarifications session contains exactly one bullet per accepted answer (no duplicates).
+   - Total asked (accepted) questions ≤ 5.
+   - Updated sections contain no lingering vague placeholders the new answer was meant to resolve.
+   - No contradictory earlier statement remains (scan for now-invalid alternative choices removed).
+   - Markdown structure valid; only allowed new headings: `## Clarifications`, `### Session YYYY-MM-DD`.
+   - Terminology consistency: same canonical term used across all updated sections.
+
+7. Write the updated spec back to `FEATURE_SPEC`.
+
+8. Report completion (after questioning loop ends or early termination):
+   - Number of questions asked & answered.
+   - Path to updated spec.
+   - Sections touched (list names).
+   - Coverage summary table listing each taxonomy category with Status: Resolved (was Partial/Missing and addressed), Deferred (exceeds question quota or better suited for planning), Clear (already sufficient), Outstanding (still Partial/Missing but low impact).
+   - If any Outstanding or Deferred remain, recommend whether to proceed to `/plan` or run `/clarify` again later post-plan.
+   - Suggested next command.
+
+Behavior rules:
+- If no meaningful ambiguities found (or all potential questions would be low-impact), respond: "No critical ambiguities detected worth formal clarification." and suggest proceeding.
+- If spec file missing, instruct user to run `/specify` first (do not create a new spec here).
+- Never exceed 5 total asked questions (clarification retries for a single question do not count as new questions).
+- Avoid speculative tech stack questions unless the absence blocks functional clarity.
+- Respect user early termination signals ("stop", "done", "proceed").
+ - If no questions asked due to full coverage, output a compact coverage summary (all categories Clear) then suggest advancing.
+ - If quota reached with unresolved high-impact categories remaining, explicitly flag them under Deferred with rationale.
