Clarify intent before RIPER-5 phase delegation. Scores ambiguity (4 signals); generates structured multi-choice questions for Tier 2. Two-mode: SIMPLE and DEEP.
Passed 7 of 17 test cases with the skill, and 10 of 17 without it.

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 2 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Under an active `/goal` autonomous execution program, the user provides a 5-line fix instruction for `src/util.ts` that matches a Tier 0 auto-skip condition.

Output style: lead each question with the recommended option; plain language, no filler —

Two-mode intent clarification: SIMPLE (direct, 3-5 reads) and DEEP (research subagent first, then questions).
Scores a user request's ambiguity and — when Tier 2 triggers — produces a structured, multi-dimension clarification suite with option-rich questions rather than open-ended prompts. Uses vc-scenario, vc-predict, and vc-sequential-thinking style reasoning to generate questions, not just to answer them.
This is the highest-leverage skill in the system. Poor intent clarification wastes entire phase programs. Invest in the question generation step.
At ORCHESTRATOR before every routing decision for new user requests. Check auto-skip conditions first. If none apply, score the four signals and act on the resulting tier.
These conditions force Tier 0 regardless of the ambiguity score. Check these FIRST.
When an auto-skip condition matches, produce only a 1-sentence restatement of intent and route immediately per the existing routing protocol. Do not announce the tier. Do not surface any questions.
Priority ordering when multiple conditions match simultaneously:
Apply only the highest-priority matching condition's abbreviated behavior. Do not combine behaviors from multiple matching conditions.
