# Ask Provider (Compatibility)

This compatibility skill preserves the legacy `ask` entrypoint from `claude-ccb-skills`.

Canonical CCB orchestration now lives in `../ccb-unified/SKILL.md`.

## Execution (MANDATORY)

```
Bash(ask <<'EOF'
$ARGUMENTS
EOF
, run_in_background=true)
```

## Rules

- Arguments must start with the provider name, for example `gemini ...`.
- After running `ask`, say "<Provider> processing..." and end your turn.
- Do not poll or use `pend` unless the user explicitly asks.
- Use this shim only when the user explicitly wants the legacy `ask` workflow.
