clarify-and-intake

name	clarify-and-intake
description	Normalize ambiguous user requests into a structured intake artifact with task description, context, success criteria, constraints, and task type. Use before planning or implementation whenever requirements are incomplete, mixed, or implicit.

Clarify And Intake

Convert the raw request into an intake artifact before planning starts.

Produce

Return a compact JSON-like structure with:

• task_description
• context
• success_criteria
• constraints
• task_type
• open_questions

Rules

• Resolve discoverable facts from the repo or environment before asking questions.
• Prefer concrete, testable success criteria.
• Separate constraints from preferences.
• Produce artifacts that downstream roles can consume without inheriting the full chat history.
• If information is missing but low risk, choose a reasonable default and record it.
• If missing information would change architecture or public behavior, escalate clearly.

Hand off

Pass the intake artifact to $decision-complete-planner. If external tools or unfamiliar skills may be needed, flag $risk-vetter.
