// Iteratively clarify requirements for a new task until reaching 90%+ confidence, then auto-invoke plan-loop.
Use for complex or high-risk implementation work that needs plan-first execution, explicit verification design, pre-code review, and autonomous post-implementation hardening through self-test, simplify, and review-loop.
Prove the requested goal works on the highest-signal affected surface before closing. Default closing behavior for every implementation task — not just when explicitly asked. Also triggers on: 'make sure it works', 'test it yourself', 'don't just tell me it's done', 'I don't want to test this'.
Post-implementation review/fix loop. Use host-appropriate review coverage on your implementation, fix issues, iterate until highly confident, then commit.
Lightweight read-only audit. Use host-appropriate review coverage for evidence and findings. Iterate on disagreement or low confidence. No code changes.
Orchestrate complex tasks with agent teams. Clarify requirements, plan with dual-model review, implement with TeamCreate, simplify, review, and ship.
Audit agent skills in a repo against best practices — checks .claude/skills/ and .agents/skills/ for quality, structure, and coverage gaps. Use when the user wants to review, improve, or evaluate their skills, or when they mention skill quality, skill audit, or skill best practices.

Iterative clarification loop: refine understanding of a new task until it is precise, testable, and ready for planning.
Consider $ARGUMENTS if provided.
Each round:
Keep iterating until confidence reaches 90%+.
Once confidence reaches 90%+:
self-test).plan-loop with the finalized requirements and e2e test targets as context. Do NOT plan on your own — plan-loop uses multi-agent research, dual-model review, structured verification design, and self-test integration that ad-hoc planning skips.If plan-loop is unavailable, tell the user and stop — do not substitute your own planning.
plan-loop via the Skill tool. This defeats the entire purpose of new-task — the value is the structured handoff, not just the clarification.
