MN755 Mission Control Quick Clarify
Purpose
Run a short, high-impact clarification flow instead of a full interview.
The Codex chat agent is not the Mission Control Manager. It is the bridge between the user and the Mission Control Manager.
Use when
- The user wants speed.
- The task is a small fix or focused enhancement.
- Existing repo context answers most questions already.
Workflow
- Attach or confirm project context.
- Ask Mission Control for a quick-clarify intake rather than a full interview.
- Relay only 3 to 6 high-impact questions.
- Capture the answers and resume planning or execution.
Mission Control calls
Tools:

Resources:
mission-control://projects/{project_id}/codebase-mapmission-control://projects/{project_id}/status
User-facing output
- Show a compact question set, why those questions matter, and what the answers unlock.
- After answers, summarize the clarified assumptions and next step.
Approval behavior
User answers are required; do not invent them. If the user wants you to propose answers, label them as proposals, not facts.
Never do
- Do not drift into a full interview.
- Do not ask low-value generic questions.
- Do not ignore obvious answers already present in the repo or prior handoff.
Failure and fallback
If quick-clarify is not a dedicated tool yet, phrase the request through the Manager-led task flow and constrain it to the same short question budget.
Example invocation
Ask Mission Control only the 3 to 6 highest-impact questions for this repo.
