Clarification Techniques
Structured approaches for disambiguating user requests.
Anti-Patterns to Detect
Vague Requests
Triggers: "improve", "fix", "update", "change", "better", "faster", "cleaner"
Response: Ask for specific metrics or outcomes
Scope Creep Signals
Triggers: "while you're at it", "also", "might as well", "and another thing"
Response: Acknowledge, then isolate: "I'll note that for after the main task"
Assumption Gaps
Triggers: References to "the" thing (which thing?), "it" (what?), "there" (where?)
Response: Echo back specific understanding
Conflicting Requirements
Triggers: "Simple but comprehensive", "Fast but thorough", "Minimal but complete"
Response: Prioritize: "Which matters more: simplicity or completeness?"
