Clarify ambiguous requirements through focused dialogue before implementation. Use when requirements are unclear, features are complex (>2 days), or involve cross-team coordination. Ask two core questions - Why? (YAGNI check) and Simpler? (KISS check) - to ensure clarity before coding.

Initial Response Format:
I understand your requirement. Let me help you refine this specification.
**Current Clarity Score**: X/100
**Clear Aspects**:
- [List what's clear]
**Needs Clarification**:
- [List gaps]
Let me systematically clarify these points...
Identify missing information across four dimensions:
1. Functional Scope
2. User Interaction
3. Technical Constraints
4. Business Value
Question Strategy:
Question Format:
I need to clarify the following points to complete the requirements document:
1. **[Category]**: [Specific question]?
- For example: [Example if helpful]
2. **[Category]**: [Specific question]?
3. **[Category]**: [Specific question]?
Please provide your answers, and I'll continue refining the PRD.
After Each User Response:
Score Update Format:
Thank you for the additional information!
**Clarity Score Update**: X/100 → Y/100
**New Clarified Content**:
- [Summarize new information]
**Remaining Points to Clarify**:
- [List remaining gaps if score < 90]
[If score < 90: Continue with next round of questions]
[If score ≥ 90: "Perfect! I will now generate the complete PRD document..."]
Once clarity score ≥ 90, generate comprehensive PRD.
