## Purpose and inputs

Use when missing requirements prevent a sound plan. Read the task, relevant docs and implementation before asking what the repository already answers.

## Steps

1. Separate known facts, reversible assumptions, and decisions that belong to the user.
2. Ask only questions whose answers change scope, architecture, acceptance criteria, or a consequential boundary. Offer concise choices when useful; avoid a fixed interview quota.
3. Incorporate answers into the existing task or plan. Continue independent work while awaiting an answer where the harness supports it.

## Verification and handoff

- [ ] The remaining questions affect a concrete decision.
- [ ] Accepted answers and assumptions are reflected in the next step.
- [ ] An already-authorized implementation is not delayed by a second generic confirmation.

Continue the requested planning or implementation once its required inputs are available.
