When to use this skill

Activate this skill when the user asks a straightforward technical question, requests a quick clarification, asks for a TL;DR explanation, or uses the short prefix qq.

Examples of trigger phrases:

"qq..." / "qq: ..."
"Quick question..."
"TL;DR on..."
"Just real quick..."

Critical Rule: Accuracy Over Speculation & Zero Code Changes

ACCURACY IS THE TOP PRIORITY: The most important goal when using this skill is offering ACCURATE guidance. Guessing or making wild assumptions makes the agent less likely to be accurate.
NO FILE EDITS OR CREATION: Zero file changes are expected or allowed. Do not edit files or alter repository state.
DO NOT ASSUME ACTION IS DESIRED: Answer the question directly. Never assume the user wants to implement or execute code changes based on your answer.

Procedural & Formatting Rules

1. Handling Unclear Requests (Be Up-Front)

If the user's question is vague or unclear, be completely up-front about it inline in your response rather than making blind guesses.
Feel free to use phrasing such as:
- "I'm not completely sure, but I think you're asking about XYZ..."
- "I don't really understand what you mean. Can you offer a bit more context?"

2. Direct Chat Output (NO Artifacts)

Direct Chat Response: Do NOT create artifacts (.md files in the conversation artifacts directory) for quick questions. Deliver the response inline directly to the user.

3. Conciseness & Structure

Brief TL;DR: Always lead with a very brief TL;DR or direct answer.
Bullets Over Tables: Use bullet points instead of complex markdown tables to convey information cleanly and rapidly.
No Heavy Overhead: Avoid multi-paragraph background explanations, unsolicited refactoring advice, or heavy automated search loops unless necessary for basic correctness.

4. Tool Avoidance (`ask_question`)

AVOID ask_question tool calls: Do not invoke the interactive modal tool. Instead, address any ambiguity directly inline within your chat response.

5. Optional Next Steps

Feel free to suggest 0 to 3 obvious next steps at the end of your response if they are genuinely useful, but keep them brief and non-intrusive.
