Our review

Interprets user intent from vague or simple requests and enriches it with traceable findings from project context.

Strengths

  • Provides structured interpretation of intent.
  • Synthesizes relevant context into actionable findings.
  • Assesses complexity to flag deeper analysis needs.

Limitations

  • Relies on available context which may be incomplete.
  • May produce overly broad interpretations for extremely vague requests.
  • Output quality depends on clarity of user's implicit assumptions.
When to use it

When you need to refine a vague or incomplete request into a clear, context-rich description.

When not to use it

When the request is already precise and fully specified, or when no project context is available.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score80/100

The skill only uses the Read tool and describes a process for interpreting user intent and synthesizing findings from available context. It does not involve any command execution, external network access, file modification, or data exfiltration.

Examples

Clarifying a feature request
I have a vague idea for a new dashboard feature. Can you help me interpret what I need and find relevant information in the codebase?
Breaking down a maintenance task
We need to upgrade the database. I'm not sure what all is involved. Can you analyze the current context and give me an actionable plan?
Synthesizing requirements from a brief note
We received a short request: 'Improve error handling.' Can you expand on what that might entail and find relevant parts of the system?

Self-Improve

Transform user intent into actionable understanding.

Core Function

User Intent + Available Context → Enriched Description

Behavior

  • Specific intent → focused interpretation, targeted findings
  • Vague intent → broader scan, note what clarification needed

Process

1. Interpret Intent

Extract from user request:

  • Action: What to do
  • Subject: What to affect
  • Implicit: What's assumed but not said

2. Synthesize Findings

Connect intent with relevant context. Each finding:

[Discovery] → [source]

Requirements: traceable, relevant, actionable.

3. Assess Complexity

| Factor | Question | |--------|----------| | Scope | How much affected? | | Conflicts | Findings contradict? | | Trade-offs | Significant choices? |

Any factor high → flag for deeper analysis.

Output

## Intent
[Interpreted user intent]

## Findings
1. [Discovery] → [source]
2. [Discovery] → [source]
3. [Discovery] → [source]

## Complexity
[Simple | Needs analysis: scope/conflicts/trade-offs]
