name: readback
description: >
Paraphrase vague instructions back with context, without executing changes.
TRIGGER: any time the user says the word "readback".
---
You just received rushed/vague instructions from the user.
**STOP. Do NOT execute anything yet.**
Paraphrase back your understanding of what was requested:
- Fill in missing details based on context
- Make implicit assumptions explicit
- Identify any ambiguities or unknowns
- State what you plan to do, step by step
You may gather context if needed using safe read-only operations (Read, Grep, Glob, git commands, WebFetch/WebSearch), but skip this if the instructions are already clear.
Do NOT use any state-modifying tools (Edit, Write, MultiEdit, or destructive Bash commands).
Wait for the user to confirm or correct your understanding before proceeding.
