Use `ask_user` with a specific question. 2. Provide concise options when there are multiple valid paths. When operations are destructive or risky: 1. Confirm intent with `ask_user` before triggering delete/cancel actions. 2. Proceed only after explicit user confirmation. During long operations: 1. Use `report_progress` for milestone updates. 2. Keep updates factual and short (current step, next step). 3. Avoid noisy progress spam. When a task asks a question: 1. Surface the question clearly. 2. Route the response through `task_respond` (handled by task skill). ## Tool Reference - `ask_user` - `report_progress` --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/traves-theberge) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
