A skill your agent uses when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions
This skill should be used when the user's request or requirement is ambiguous and needs iterative questioning to become actionable.

What it does
Vague is an agent skill from team-attention/plugins-for-claude-natives. This skill should be used when the user's request or requirement is ambiguous and needs iterative questioning to become actionable. Trigger on "clarify requirements", "refine requirements", "요구사항 명확히", "요구사항 정리", "뭘 원하는 건지", "make this clearer", "spec this out", "scope this", "/clarify". Turns vague inputs into concrete specs. For strategy blind spots use unknown; for content-vs-form reframing use metamedium.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Requirements gathering. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugins for power users. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Requirement is ambiguous and needs iterative questioning to become actionable
- Clarify requirements
- Refine requirements
- Make this clearer
Example prompts
- “clarify requirements”
- “refine requirements”
- “make this clearer”
- “/vague”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd9c207. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Vague loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 284 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- This skill should be used when the user's request or requirement is ambiguous and needs iterative questioning to become actionable. Trigger on "clarify requirements", "refine requirements", "요구사항 명확히", "요구사항 정리", "뭘 원하는 건지", "make this clearer", "spec this out", "scope this", "/clarify". Turns vague inputs into concrete specs. For strategy blind spots use unknown; for content-vs-form reframing use metamedium.
Vague: Requirement Clarification
Transform vague or ambiguous requirements into precise, actionable specifications through hypothesis-driven questioning. ALWAYS use the AskUserQuestion tool — never ask clarifying questions in plain text.
When to Use
- Ambiguous feature requests ("add a login feature")
- Incomplete bug reports ("the export is broken")
- Underspecified tasks ("make the app faster")
For strategy/planning blind spot analysis, use the unknown skill. For content-vs-form reframing, use the metamedium skill.
Core Principle: Hypotheses as Options
Present plausible interpretations as options instead of asking open questions. Each option is a testable hypothesis about what the user actually means.
BAD: "What kind of login do you want?" ← open question, high cognitive load
GOOD: "OAuth / Email+Password / SSO / Magic link" ← pick one, lower loadProtocol
Phase 1: Capture and Diagnose
Record the original requirement verbatim. Identify ambiguities:
- What is unclear or underspecified?
- What assumptions would need to be made?
- What decisions are left to interpretation?
Phase 2: Iterative Clarification
Use AskUserQuestion to resolve ambiguities. Batch up to 4 related questions per call. Each option is a hypothesis about what the user means.
Cap: 5-8 total questions. Stop when all critical ambiguities are resolved, OR user indicates "good enough", OR cap reached.
Example AskUserQuestion call:
questions:
- question: "Which authentication method should the login use?"
header: "Auth method"
options:
- label: "Email + Password"
description: "Traditional signup with email verification"
- label: "OAuth (Google/GitHub)"
description: "Delegated auth, no password management needed"
- label: "Magic link"
description: "Passwordless email-based login"
multiSelect: false
- question: "What should happen after registration?"
header: "Post-signup"
options:
- label: "Immediate access"
description: "User can use the app right away"
- label: "Email verification first"
description: "Must confirm email before access"
multiSelect: falsePhase 3: Before/After Summary
Present the transformation:
## Requirement Clarification Summary
### Before (Original)
"{original request verbatim}"
### After (Clarified)
**Goal**: [precise description]
**Scope**: [included and excluded]
**Constraints**: [limitations, preferences]
**Success Criteria**: [how to know when done]
**Decisions Made**:
| Question | Decision |
|----------|----------|
| [ambiguity 1] | [chosen option] |Phase 4: Save Option
Ask whether to save the clarified requirement to a file. Default location: requirements/ or project-appropriate directory.
Ambiguity Categories
| Category | Example Hypotheses |
|---|---|
| Scope | All users / Admins only / Specific roles |
| Behavior | Fail silently / Show error / Auto-retry |
| Interface | REST API / GraphQL / CLI |
| Data | JSON / CSV / Both |
| Constraints | <100ms / <1s / No requirement |
| Priority | Must-have / Nice-to-have / Future |
Rules
- Hypotheses, not open questions: Every option is a plausible interpretation
- No assumptions: Ask, don't assume
- Preserve intent: Refine, don't redirect
- 5-8 questions max: Beyond this is fatigue
- Batch related questions: Up to 4 per AskUserQuestion call
- Track changes: Always show before/after
