Ask
Purpose
Gather the information needed to proceed with a task through structured, focused dialogue.
This skill is for asking only. Do not plan, implement, or produce any artifacts.
Scope Gate (Required Before Starting)
Use this skill only when:
- The task is underspecified — key requirements, constraints, or decisions are missing
- User input is required — the task cannot proceed without answers from the user
- No assumptions are safe — guessing would risk wasted effort or wrong direction
If the task is clear enough to act on, use brainstorm, write-plan, or quick-implement instead.
Workflow
More from buiducnhat/agent-skills
write-plan
Create detailed, execution-ready implementation plans for complex or high-risk changes without coding. Use when scope is large, requirements are mostly known, and work should be broken into validated phases before execution.
378execute-plan
Execute an approved implementation plan exactly and safely. Use when a plan already exists and work must be carried out phase-by-phase with verification checkpoints, status tracking, and final execution reporting.
376brainstorm
Collaborative discovery and design framing for ambiguous or high-risk work. Use when requirements are unclear, multiple approaches are possible, or you need to turn an idea into a validated design brief before planning or coding.
341docs
Create or refresh project documentation in `docs/`. Use when a project needs docs initialized or existing docs synced to the current codebase.
333quick-implement
Rapid implementation for small, low-risk, well-defined changes. Use when the task is narrow in scope, has clear acceptance criteria, and can be completed safely without a formal multi-phase plan.
331bootstrap
Initialize and scaffold a new project with structured requirements gathering. Use when starting a project from scratch, after running a framework initializer (npm init, create-next-app, etc.), or when an existing minimal project needs proper structure, documentation, and conventions. Triggers on: 'bootstrap project', 'start new project', 'scaffold project', 'initialize project', 'setup new project', or when the user wants to go from zero to a well-structured project foundation.
