ask-questions-if-underspecified

ask-questions-if-underspecified is a Discovery & requirements clarification skill for AI agents, published by charliehzm in the medharness repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates ask-questions-if-underspecified D (59/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Use this skill when scope ambiguity blocks progress in any SOP step (PRD, TDD, design, task decomposition). Produces a tight set of clarifying questions (max 5) that, once answered, unblock the next step. Avoids the failure mode where Agents proceed on assumption and produce wrong work. Chinese trigger examples: "需求不清", "需要澄清", "提问澄清", "范围不明", "信息不足要澄清", "ask the user". Do NOT use for exploration (use research), do NOT use to delay obvious work. Success = ≤ 5 questions, each decision-shaping, each tied to a specific PRD section.
