Questions

Primary trigger: the explicit /questions command. This is deterministic - always invoke when typed, same as /wdyt.

Soft trigger: the message's last character is a literal "?" (not a question mark anywhere earlier in the message). This is a phrase-match heuristic, not a hook - the model can miss it. If reliable triggering matters, use /questions instead of relying on this.

If the trailing token is "wdyt" (with or without a "?"), that's the wdyt skill instead, not this one - don't double-trigger both.

When triggered, before diving into implementation:

  1. Skim the request for real ambiguity - things that would change what you build or how (scope, approach, priorities, missing constraints). Don't invent ambiguity that isn't there.
  2. If nothing is genuinely unclear, say so in one line and proceed. Don't force questions for the sake of it.
  3. If there's something worth asking, ask 1-3 casual questions - conversational tone, not an interrogation. Offer your best guess/recommendation alongside each question so the user can just confirm rather than having to think from scratch.
  4. Ask them together if they're independent, or one at a time if later questions depend on earlier answers. Use your judgment - this isn't a rigid one-at-a-time interview like a full "grilling" session.
  5. Wait for the user's answers before starting implementation.

This is casual, not relentless: a couple of genuine questions to remove ambiguity, not an exhaustive walk down every branch of a design tree. If the user seems to want more rigor ("grill me on this"), that's a different, more thorough mode - not this one.
