Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## User Input ```text $ARGUMENTS ``` You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty). ## Outline Goal: Detect and reduce ambiguity or missing decision points in the active feature specification and record the clarifications directly in the spec file. Note: This clarification workflow is expected to run (and be completed) BEFORE invoking the bb-plan skill. If the user explicitly states they are skipping clarification (e.g., exploratory spike), you may proceed, but must warn that downstream rework risk increases. Execution steps: 1. Locate the current feature directory and verify the feature spec exists. Parse minimal payload fields: - `FEATURE_DIR` - `FEATURE_SPEC` - (Optionally capture `IMPL_PLAN`, `TASKS` for future chained flows.) - If the feature directory or spec cannot be found, abort and instruct user to run the bb-specify skill first or verify feature branch environment. - For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot"). …

How to install
mdr add buildbetter-app/skills/bb-clarify@sha256:fe4cb7ccdd69aedfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260608.1149f4a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
