Clarification Loop

Smarter planning through continuous discussion and refinement of requirements

In Plan Mode, AI asks clarifying questions through an interactive questionnaire, allowing collaborative requirement confirmation before implementation.

What You'll Learn

  • Interactive questionnaire system with multiple choice answers
  • File attachment support for contextual answers
  • Continuous refinement controls (modify, skip, rollback)
  • When clarification loops are triggered

Interactive Questionnaire System

Clarification Loop works like a questionnaire where AI asks clarifying questions and you provide answers:

  • Multiple choice - Select from predefined answer options
  • Custom answers - Craft your own answer when choices don't fit
  • Mixed approach - Select an option and add custom clarification
  • Attach files to any answer for visual or technical context
  • Upload screenshots, mockups, config files, or reference implementations
  • Enhanced context leads to more accurate plans
  • Supports standard image and document formats

Attach UI mockups or design screenshots to clarification answers for accurate visual requirement understanding.


Continuous Refinement Controls

Available interactions during the clarification loop:

  • Modify Options - Adjust the multiple choice options presented to better match your context
  • Skip Clarifications - Proceed with AI's best judgment when requirements are clear enough
  • Rollback Changes - Revert to previous clarification state and resubmit different answers

When Clarifications Are Triggered

AI asks clarifying questions when encountering:

  • Ambiguous requirements needing specification
  • Multiple valid implementation approaches requiring your preference
  • Edge cases requiring decisions on handling strategies
  • Technical constraints not yet defined (performance, security, compatibility)
  • Architecture or technology stack choices

Request clarification loops explicitly in Plan Mode: "Ask me clarifying questions about the requirements before creating the plan"
