# Prompt Refinement ## Overview Prompt refinement transforms ambiguous or incomplete user requests into clear, structured task specifications suitable for multi-agent orchestration. This skill bridges natural language input and the precise specifications required by downstream agents. ### Purpose Ensure tasks entering the orchestration pipeline have: - **Clear Objectives**: A single, well-defined goal that can be verified - **Actionable Steps**: Concrete actions that agents can execute - **Measurable Outcomes**: Success criteria that verification agents can check - **Appropriate Scope**: Boundaries that prevent scope creep ### When to Use This Skill Apply prompt refinement when: - User input contains ambiguous terms ("fix it", "make it better") - The request lacks specific targets (files, components, systems) - Multiple interpretations of the request are possible - Pre-processing is required for `/orchestrate` or `/plan` commands ### Key Principles 1. **Ask First, Act Second**: When genuinely ambiguous, clarify before proceeding 2. **One Question at a Time**: Never overwhelm users with multiple clarification requests 3. **Provide Options**: Give concrete choices to speed up clarification 4. **Default Gracefully**: Make reasonable assumptions when users don't respond 5. **Preserve Intent**: Refinement should clarify, not change the user's goal --- ## Refinement Template ### Standard Format ``` **Goal**: <one-sentence objective stating what will be accomplished> *
