Office Hours

Stop. Before writing a line of code, I'll put your plan through six forcing questions that surface wrong premises, hidden constraints, and better approaches. Inspired by gstack's office-hours skill and Garry Tan's YC office hours format.

The goal is not to block progress — it is to spend 5 minutes now to avoid spending 5 hours on the wrong thing.

Token Optimization

Expected range: 400–1,000 tokens (interview + synthesis), 100 tokens (user has clear answers, no reframing needed)

Patterns used: Progressive disclosure (one question at a time), early exit (user explicitly skips with /office-hours --skip)

Early exit: If invoked with --skip, acknowledge and proceed without questions.
