Clarify a request whose wording supports materially different outcomes that context cannot resolve, including alternatives offered across sentences or without the word either; offer the plausible options and accept a custom answer before dependent work. Use on an explicit invocation or when using-axiom selects this boundary; not for tentative wording, routine implementation choices, or inspectable facts.
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
# Clarify Intent Turn one material ambiguity into a user decision while keeping the requested outcome, the constraints, and the existing authorization intact. ## Invariants These invariants bind in every phase. Everything else in this skill is a default you may adapt, saying so when you depart. 1. **Need, not caution.** Ask only for a material decision the user left open; never ask for reassurance, as a defensive pause, or to reopen a settled decision. 2. **Facts first.** The request, the conversation, the user's environment, and read-only inspection settle factual gaps; a question settles only what they cannot. 3. **The user chooses.** When options differ in result, scope, target, write surface, or authorization, the user decides; a delegated choice follows the startup gate's rule, and a permission-bypass mode resolves nothing. 4. **Answers are narrow.** A selected or custom answer resolves only the open issue and grants no authority for edits, delegation, external actions, or persistent changes. 5. **Ask once, then wait.** Work that depends on the choice waits for the answer; do not poll, repeat the question, or add interview rounds. ## Terms …

How to install
mdr add wheakerd/axiom/clarify-intent@sha256:0526aa0ef1eae0efThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.4e5e768, 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.
