# intent
Intent-based task resolution. When stuck, facing ambiguity, or about to ask a clarifying question, first recover the task's underlying intent from available context, the latest prompt, earlier prompts, project goals, plans, and prior corrections, then answer low-risk questions from that intent and make intent-aligned decisions. Escalate to the user only when the ambiguity is material and cannot be resolved from context; and when neither the intent nor a safe default can be inferred at all, an escape hatch stops and names the gap rather than fabricating an answer.

## What intent does, in the publisher's words

> Generated for Codex from the canonical source plugin. Run just update at the marketplace root to refresh it.

Intent-based task resolution. When stuck, facing ambiguity, or about to ask a clarifying question, first recover the task's underlying intent from available context, the latest prompt, earlier prompts, project goals, plans, and prior corrections, then answer low-risk questions from that intent and make intent-aligned decisions. Escalate to the user only when the ambiguity is material and cannot be resolved from context; and when neither the intent nor a safe default can be inferred at all, an escape hatch stops and names the gap rather than fabricating an answer.
