New Task

Consider $ARGUMENTS if provided.

Before planning or implementation:

  1. Present a concise Current understanding, beginning with the Goal you believe the user wants to achieve, followed by the important product behavior, constraints, assumptions, and intended deliverable.
  2. Ask only product-related or high-priority questions whose answers could materially change scope, behavior, architecture, or success.
  3. Update the understanding after the user answers and repeat only when a material ambiguity remains.

When aligned, return a compact confirmed brief with success criteria and any remaining assumptions, then continue only as authorized.
