SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Promotes consistent, actionable AskUserQuestion prompts by enforcing a standardized 5-point structure, preventing ambiguity when users are away from the window or in time-constrained situations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces the five-part prompt structure: Re-ground, Simplify, Recommend, Options, and One decision per question.
  • Improves prompt clarity, calibration, and decision quality across long-running tasks and collaborative work.
  • Works with any AskUserQuestion call to deliver repeatable, inspectable prompts that are easy to review and iterate.

Quick Start

Provide an AskUserQuestion prompt following the 5-point structure for your current task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure user prompts for long-running tasks to avoid ambiguity?▼

Structure user prompts for long-running tasks by enforcing a 5-point framework: Re-ground, Simplify, Recommend, Options, and One decision per question. This ensures calibration and precise option framing, preventing ambiguity when users are away from the screen.

What is the best way to clarify decision-making trade-offs in a structured prompt?▼

The best way to clarify decision-making trade-offs in a structured prompt is to apply a standardized five-part structure that explicitly frames options and provides recommendations, ensuring clear and inspectable input for each decision.

How do I standardize AskUserQuestion prompts for consistent, actionable responses?▼

Standardize AskUserQuestion prompts by enforcing a five-part structure that re-grounds the context, simplifies the query, recommends a path, lists options, and isolates one decision per question to deliver repeatable and actionable responses.

Can I use a structured prompt framework for away-from-screen situations?▼

Yes, you can use a structured prompt framework for away-from-screen situations. A standardized 5-point structure prevents ambiguity and ensures prompt calibration, allowing time-constrained users to make clear decisions without continuous window monitoring.

Why does my user prompting fail to produce clear decisions during collaborative work?▼

User prompting fails to produce clear decisions during collaborative work due to ambiguity and poor calibration. Applying a structured 5-point prompt format isolates one decision per question and explicitly frames options to improve decision quality.
