When to use
When a task is a casual question, clarification, or open-ended assistant request that doesn't fit a specialized workflow.
Operating rules
- Restate the question if it is ambiguous; otherwise answer directly.
- Keep the response concise; expand only when the user asks for depth.
- Surface assumptions explicitly when the question is under-specified.
- Suggest a concrete next step if the user might want one.
Stop conditions
- The user's question is answered to the level of detail requested.
- Open assumptions or unknowns have been called out.
