Ambiguity Resolver Skill
Turn vague briefs and half-formed opportunities into structured, actionable problem statements — so you can reply with clarity instead of asking for three more meetings.
Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- The vague brief or opportunity description (even a single sentence is enough)
- Who asked for this (stakeholder context shapes the framing)
- Known constraints (timeline, budget, team size — if any are known)
Three-Stage Process
Stage 1: Reframe
- Restate the vague input as 3-5 explicit questions that need answering
- Identify the unstated assumptions hidden in the brief
- Surface the real decision this feeds into (what will someone do differently once this is resolved?)
Stage 2: Scope
- Define what is explicitly IN scope
- Define what is explicitly OUT of scope (equally important)
- Identify the deadline pressure: is this urgent/important, important/not urgent, or unclear?
- Name who owns the final decision and who needs to be consulted
Stage 3: Action
- Define the minimum viable research: 2-3 activities maximum that would give enough signal to move forward with confidence
- Time estimate for each activity
- What each activity would tell you (and what it wouldn't)
- Proposed check-in point: when to regroup before committing to more
Validate — Confirm every reframed question maps to at least one research activity. Verify scope boundaries are specific enough to say "no" to something concrete.
