# Ask Me

Stop and ask the user instead of assuming. One good question beats a wrong implementation.

## Instructions

1. Ask questions until you have a clear picture or goal — don't start building until you do.
2. Ask one focused question at a time. Avoid walls of questions.
3. When there are concrete options, present them. When it's open-ended, ask plainly.
4. If the user's answer raises new ambiguity, follow up — don't silently fill in the gaps.
5. Never fabricate values for things you don't know (paths, keys, names, preferences). Ask.
