This is a discipline tool for when you catch yourself about to build something you don't fully understand yet. It forces Claude to stop, identify what's actually unclear about a task, and ask one focused question at a time instead of guessing or overbuilding. The workflow is lightweight: check project docs if they exist, spot the gaps (objective, scope, constraints, success criteria), then ask sequentially with multiple choice options when possible. No code gets written, no plans get drafted. It's basically a guard rail against the "I'll just assume what they meant" reflex. Works best when you're staring at a vague feature request and need to extract real requirements without twenty back-and-forth messages.

Workflow
Step 1: Gather Project Context
Load only the project context relevant to the current task:
- If
docs/SUMMARY.mdexists, read it first. - Load only task-relevant detail docs.
- Prioritize
Code Standarddocs for implementation conventions. - If docs conflict with code or user intent, use the available input/question before broad changes.
Skip this step if no project docs or useful repository files exist.
Step 2: Identify Information Gaps
Determine exactly what is missing before a task can proceed:
- Objective and user value
- Scope boundaries and non-goals
- Constraints (technical, UX, performance, timeline)
- Success criteria
- Key decisions with multiple valid options
Step 3: Ask Questions (One at a Time)
Ask targeted questions sequentially to close each gap.
Rules:
- Ask exactly one question per message
- Prefer multiple-choice options when practical (2–4 choices)
- Use open-ended questions only when no reasonable options exist
- Do not ask questions already answered by project documentation
- Do not ask about implementation details prematurely
- Do not bundle multiple questions into one message
