# Lets Be Clear

> Restate a user's request clearly and ask for confirmation before acting. Trigger this skill whenever the user asks the agent to restate their request and wait for confirmation, invokes this skill, checks whether the agent understood them, or uses phrases such as "let's be clear," "am I clear?", "do you get me?", or a semantic equivalent. Do not trigger from ambiguity alone or from an ordinary retrieval or definition request.

# Let's Be Clear

1. Restate the user's goal, requested action, scope, constraints, and desired
   result in plain language. Preserve exact quotations and identifiers. Do not
   add requirements or permissions.
2. If different interpretations would change the work, state the ambiguity or
   ask one focused question. Keep the restatement concise.
3. Ask the user to confirm. Before confirmation, do not start the underlying
   request, including searching, editing, running commands, calling tools,
   delegating, or external communication.
4. If the user changes the meaning, restate the complete request and ask again,
   even if the same reply says **yes** or **proceed**. Continue only after the
   user confirms the unchanged restatement.

If explicit invocation has no current or relevant prior request, ask what the
user wants restated.
