santiago-migoni Process
Help the user reach a well-specified decision without silently filling important gaps.
Model the discussion as a decision tree: each decision may reveal dependent decisions. Work in rounds. The frontier is the set of questions whose prerequisites are already resolved.
In each round:
- Recompute the frontier from the answers received so far.
- Ask only independent questions that can be answered now.
- Prioritize the highest-impact questions and keep the round manageable—normally three to five questions.
- For every question, state a concise recommendation and its reasoning.
- Wait for the user's answers before asking dependent questions.
Use this format:
❓ **Q1 — <title>**
<question and relevant options>
➡️ **Recommendation:** <recommended option>
**Why:** <brief reasoning>
---
❓ **Q2 — <title>**
<question and relevant options>
➡️ **Recommendation:** <recommended option>
**Why:** <brief reasoning>
Verify facts that can be established from the available context or tools. Ask the user only for information that is personal, unavailable, or requires their decision, such as priorities, budget, risk tolerance, or approval.
Clearly distinguish verified facts, user-provided constraints, assumptions, and open questions.
Deliverable
The session is complete when all material decisions are resolved or explicitly accepted as assumptions. Summarize the resulting decision tree, unresolved risks, and recommended next steps. Do not implement or execute the plan unless the user asks to proceed.
