ask-watch

Invoke /ask-watch or ask the AI to watch the ask store. It starts a Monitor background script that polls the asks table every 10 seconds and notifies the session only when the open-ask count, last_seen_at, or id set changes.

It re-reads all open asks on each detected change and the LLM itself judges whether questions share the same decision structure despite different topics. No embedding similarity or keyword thresholds are used, since structural similarity of questions is not captured by topic similarity.

A meta-ask is an ask with kind="meta" that asks the human whether a recurring question type can be self-decided by the AI under a general rule going forward. ask-watch files one only after confirming no equivalent meta-ask already exists in the database.

No. It never calls answer_ask, triage_ask, or withdraw_ask, preserving the design where humans make the decisions. It only observes open asks, files meta-asks, and reports observations to the user.

The Monitor tool enforces a maximum timeout of 1800000 ms (30 minutes), after which it expires automatically. To continue monitoring, the skill re-arms the Monitor with the same polling command; monitoring also ends when the session ends.

Do not use it for one-off ask checks, which only need a direct get_asks call, or for answering a specific ask, which is the ask-answer skill's role. It is intended for continuous watching of ask accumulation, not single queries.
