Ask What Information Is Missing (AI Skill)

Overview

By default, when an AI is given an underspecified prompt (e.g., "How should I price my consulting services?"), it will rarely pause to say, "I don't know your industry, target client, or operating costs." Instead, it silently fills the gaps with assumptions, resulting in generic, disconnected advice.

The Context Gap Discovery Protocol turns this dynamic upside down: it explicitly commands the AI to identify missing parameters and interview you before finalizing its recommendation.
