ctaxnagomi Wait What
Stop and ask "wait, what?" when something doesn't add up — challenge unclear assumptions before proceeding.
Use case
Use this skill when:
- Something in the plan doesn't make sense
- An assumption needs to be questioned
- The user wants to pause and reconsider
Workflow
- Pause — Stop the current flow.
- Identify the issue — What exactly doesn't add up?
- Ask "wait, what?" — Challenge the assumption directly.
- Explore alternatives — What other interpretations exist?
- Resolve — Either fix the assumption or confirm it's valid.
Rules
- Be direct but constructive.
- Don't let unclear assumptions pass.
- Challenge with curiosity, not aggression.
