What this skill does
Clarify-Confirm-Continue (ccc / Pre-Flight) This skill defines a disciplined task intake and pre-flight check workflow for multi-step or complex user requests. It ensures the agent and user are fully aligned before any codebase modification or extensive execution begins. 📦 Prerequisites & Skill Dependencies REQUIRED SKILL: grilling MUST be installed alongside clarify-confirm-continue for Tier 2 ambiguity resolution. When to use this skill Activate when the user assigns a task and requests a pre-flight check, or uses trigger phrases like: "ccc" / "clarify-confirm-continue" "pre-flight" / "check with me first" / "before you start" "make sure you understand" / "confirm before proceeding" Procedural Workflow Phase 1: Clarification & Fact-Finding 1. Investigate Facts First: Use read-only tools (grepsearch, viewfile, listdir) to check existing code patterns, architecture, or definitions. Never ask the user for verifiable facts that the codebase can answer directly. 2. Assess Ambiguity (Two-Tier Check): Tier 1 (VERY Obvious): If the task is straightforward and any assumptions or inferences are VERY obvious (things that do not require interactive debate, but are simply worth mentioning for transparency), proceed directly to Phase 2. Tier 2 (Ambiguous / Decisions Needed): If major architectural decisions, multiple interpretations, or non-obvious trade-offs exist, apply the Q&A pattern from grilling: Ask clarifying questions one at a time. Provide your recommended answer for each question. Wait for user feedback on each question before continuing. (Do not present the final summary or readiness confirmation until all questions are answered). Phase 2: In-Modal Structured Summary & Readiness Gate (askquestion) Once all ambiguities are resolved (or immediately if Tier 1 applies), invoke the askquestion tool with a single, mandatory confirmation gate. …
