Shared norms for the tool — not a workflow, nothing to execute.\"\n---\n\n# Asking User Questions\n\nThe workflow family's shared norms for `ask_user_question`: how to interview in rounds, what makes a\nquestion worth asking, how to shape options, and how to degrade when answers don't come. Process\nskills name this concept at the steps that ask; *when* to ask — and where the answers get recorded —\nstays with the referencing skill.\n\n## Interview in rounds until nothing is assumed\n\n- Map the subject as a **design tree**: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.\n  The **frontier** is every open decision whose prerequisites are already settled — the questions you\n  can ask *now* without guessing at answers you haven't heard.\n- One call = one **round** = the whole frontier, with no cap on its size. A question whose answer\n  depends on another question still open belongs to a *later* round, never the same one. Never split\n  independent questions across back-to-back calls.\n- **The call blocks the current run.** Answers arrive as this tool's result. Don't keep working on the\n  blocked step or assume an answer until it arrives — seconds or days later. Composer messages sent\n  while the card is open queue behind it; they neither answer nor supersede the round.\n- After each round, recompute the frontier: answers settle branches, unblock their dependents, and\n  prune branches that no longer apply. Ask the next round; never pre-write later rounds.\n- The interview is done when the frontier is empty — every branch visited, nothing material silently\n  assumed. Then continue the referencing skill's next step; there is no extra \"are we aligned?\" round\n  (the referencing skill's own gates still apply).\n- Depth follows the work, not a quota: work with no open user decision gets zero rounds; a\n  decision-heavy change may take several.\n\n## Facts are yours, decisions are theirs\n\n- Never ask the user for a fact the workspace, the specs, or the web can answer. Look it up. When a\n  lookup is slow, start it in the background (a sub-agent, when the host offers one) and ask the rest\n  of the frontier meanwhile — only the questions downstream of that lookup wait.\n- Every decision — scope, observable behavior, trade-offs the user will live with — goes to the user.\n  Picking an option yourself and moving on is answering your own question, not inferring.\n- If candidate options differ only internally — identical observable behavior — it is not a user\n  decision: decide yourself and record the reasoning in the workflow's artifact.\n\n## What makes a question worth asking\n\n- **It changes the outcome.** Each answer leads somewhere different that the user will see or live\n  with. If every option ends in the same place, drop the question.\n- **It is specific to this work.** Name the actual feature, screen, file, or user (\"when a project is\n  renamed while collapsed…\"), never a generic template question.\n- **It probes what people silently assume.** Sweep the tree's usual blind spots: scope edges and\n  non-goals, empty / error / failure states, edge cases and limits, concurrency or multiple\n  instances, existing data and behavior that must migrate or stay, defaults, and who the work is for.\n- **It surfaces tension.** A conflict with a recorded spec decision, an earlier answer, or the\n  request itself is asked about outright, quoting both sides.\n- **It never re-asks.** Anything the request, a prior answer, or the specs already settled is\n  settled; build on it.\n- **A concrete scenario beats an abstract principle.** Ask \"a user drags a file onto a busy session —\n  queue it or reject it?\", not \"how should concurrency be handled?\".\n- If the question can't be settled by talking (how something should look or feel), show a concrete\n  artifact in `options[].preview` — a mockup, snippet, or config — instead of describing it.\n\n## Options\n\n- Recommended option first, label suffixed \"(Recommended)\", plus a one-line `recommendedReason` saying\n  why you recommend it over the alternatives (shown inline under the option as a `Why:` line).\n- Every option: a concise label (1–5 words, ≤ 60 chars) + a description carrying the trade-off or\n  consequence of choosing it. Tailor options to the work at hand — never generic placeholders.\n- Options must be **decidable by the asked user**: frame them as observable behavior or outcomes\n  (\"collapsing a project stays collapsed after a rename\"), never as implementation mechanics\n  (\"semantic guard\", \"activation ref\").\n- Never author your own \"Other\", free-text, or escape options — the tool adds a free-text row to\n  every question and an always-available Skip, and reserved labels are rejected. This holds under\n  `multiSelect` too: the free-text row stays and is *additive* — a typed answer arrives alongside the\n  checked options, it does not replace them.\n- `multiSelect: true` when several answers are valid at once (feature checklists); single-select when\n  confirming something or choosing one path.\n- `options[].preview` (markdown) when a concrete artifact — code, a config, a mockup — is clearer\n  shown than described. Single-select only.\n- `header` is a short chip, ≤ 16 characters.\n\n## Confirming an inference\n\nWhen you have inferred something and need a yes/adjust rather than an open answer: the inferred\nstatement *is* the question text, with \"Looks right\" as the first option (description: \"accurate as\nwritten\") and a genuine rejection option second (e.g. \"Off base — ask me directly\"). Edits arrive\nthrough the tool's automatic free-text row — do not author an edit option. Read the response as:\n\n- **\"Looks right\"** → the inference holds; continue unchanged.\n- **Free-text tweak** (one fact changes) → update that field only; don't re-derive anything else.\n- **Substantial rewrite** → re-derive every inference that came from that statement before continuing.\n- **Rejection** → discard the inference entirely and ask an open-ended question instead.\n\n## Degradation\n\n- A skipped or declined question is not a blocker: settle it on your recommended answer, recorded as\n  unconfirmed in the workflow's artifact (the referencing skill says where), and keep working its\n  dependents from that assumption — don't re-ask it.\n- A whole round skipped means the user wants to stop being interviewed: ask no further rounds and\n  proceed on recorded assumptions for everything still open.\n- If the host reports no interactive UI (`ask_user_question` returns \"not available\"), state your\n  assumptions the same way instead of blocking.\n- \"I don't know / help me understand\" is a mis-framing signal, not a missing-knowledge one: re-explain\n  from user-visible behavior in plain language, then re-ask with behavior-framed options — don't\n  repeat the same technical options with more detail.\n\n## Red flags\n\n- You stopped after one round while decisions that depended on its answers are still open.\n- You chose an option for the user instead of asking — or asked the user something you could have\n  looked up.\n- One round holds two questions where one answer would change the other.\n- A question restates what the request or an earlier answer already settled.\n- Every question would fit any project — nothing names this work's specifics.\n","tagline":"Use when composing an ask_user_question round inside a workflow, or when a workflow skill names it at a question step.
