Required Tool In Claude Code

When this skill is active in Claude Code (the Anthropic CLI / claude-code runtime), you MUST use the AskUserQuestion tool for every user-facing question step. This is a hard requirement, not advisory.

Applies to every moment you are formally:

• Choosing — asking the user to pick between 2+ options (including branch previews like 1, 1A, 2).
• Confirming — asking the user to approve, reject, or modify a proposed action or plan.
• Clarifying — asking the user to resolve an ambiguity you cannot route to code / wiki / duel / deep-research.

Do NOT:
